The Maiden Bride

De: Rexanne Becnel

Narrado por: Victoria Aston

All her life, Linnea de Valcourt has been reviled as the cursed daughter of Maidenstone Castle. The younger of identical twins, she narrowly escaped a death sentence at birth. To save her beloved sister from marriage to the savage Norman conqueror who has laid siege to their castle, Linnea will sacrifice her own happiness by engaging in a dangerous deception.

Years of exile have driven Axton de la Manse to the brink of despair. Now he will have his vengeance by taking his enemy's most prized possession, his eldest daughter. Once they wed and she is carrying the de la Manse heir, no one can dispute his claim to Maidenstone, the stronghold stolen from his family. That is, until the unthinkable happens: He loses his heart to his bride, whose own desires ignite a fierce longing deep within Axton. Is their growing love enough to overcome the lies and treachery that could drive them apart?

With enthralling characters, passionate romance, and spellbinding adventure, the award-winning author of The Matchmaker and The Bridemaker "demonstrates that she is a master of her craft" (RT Book Reviews).

3.5 Stars

This was a good darkish historical book, one that I was surprised came out in the 90s. I liked the storyline and for the most part, the characters. Some things were predictable, but there were other things, that I loved for their originality, like the other twin being an ally. Overall, a good story, and great narration of the audiobook.

An extraordinary tale of love and passion!

What an amazing story of romance, love, and power. I highly recommend it for any romance enthusiast.
