Helpful Score: 2
A tale of adventure, humr, and tender sensuality that sweeps from the pagentry of an English jousting tournament (where a huge bearded menacing Welshman wins the prize- the bride herself) to the brooding mystery of an isolated castle in Wales ( a place haunted by gosts and legends) . Of course, all's well that ends well.

Great book. Medeiros books are consistant. Enjoyable reads
Everything Medeiros writes is wonderful, including this one!
An often recommended read. Offers a flawed hero and heroine.
This book is great with a unique twist,lots of humor and a wonderful ending. I would definately recommed this to anyone.

The darkly handsome Welshman had come looking especially for a plain bride and Holly seemed to fit the bill.
