The Brat was a funny little story. It grabbed ahold of me from the beginning... quite a page turner. It was the first book in several months that I just could not put down and finished reading it in one day. Murie is very superstisous and some of her antics due to these superstitions were extremely funny. The wedding night was hilarious!! This was just a great book and I look forward to reading more by Lynsay Sands.
- Not my favorite by Lynsay Sands, but still a good story!
- Set in Medieval times, Lady Murie is King Edwards goddaughter. She was orphaned at the age of 10 and has lived life at court ever since. As protection, Murie builds a reputation as a 'spoiled brat,' capable of noteworthy tantrums.
- Balan is a shy knight and lord who doesn't deal well with the female aspects of women at court; namely, conversation, dancing, and romance. Thus, instead of glib comments that turn a ladies head, Balan, trying only to speak plainly, much of the time ends up insulting.
- Of course there is a plot and Murie and Balan must decide if there is more to the 'other' than what meets the eye.

England 1351 The God-daughter of the King (the brat) is not to marry and must select a suitor from amoung the eligible men. Story starts with her fighting her reputation as the brat to fighting trickery with one who only wants power until she marries only to discover someone is still trying to kill her husband.
Good read. Interesting but a little predictable. Recommended.

This book was ok....it's just that while I was reading it, I kept having this feeling that I'd read the same story a few years ago.

I really enjoyed this book. Lynsay Sands has a way in writing where she can mix romance with laughter. Makes it seem more real!
