Publisher's summary

Aimee Ankatel, youngest daughter to the richest merchant in all Karadok, only has eyes for the heavily scarred Lord Kentigern. A ferocious competitor, her heart beats louder when she watches him compete in the field. Not one of the handsome knights of Karadok draws her admiration like he does.

When her father lends funds to the Crown and promises her a glittering match with a nobleman, she daydreams of making the ill-fated knight fall in love with her. After all, if Aimee’s Father buys back Kentigern’s lands and castle for a dowry, surely that would make her an acceptable bride to him?

Any idealistic dreams of youth Kentigern once had were lost long ago in battle, when he was disfigured and blinded in one eye. His destiny was a cruel one, his homelands confiscated for his part in the Northern uprising, he ekes out a lonely nomadic existence, travelling from one tournament to another.

Never would he have dreamed that all he had once lost could be put in his hand again by some upstart merchant wanting a stud and a title for his pretty daughter. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined a reversal of fortune that included a wife like Aimee.

Her Bridegroom Bought and Paid For is a stand-alone novel of over 126,000 words and is set in a medieval style landscape in the fictional kingdom of Karadok. Please do not purchase if you are offended by strong language and or sex scenes.

It’s Another Great Story

Karadok is one of my favorite series, and this one does not disappoint! Konrad and Aimee’s tail leaves me with a smile on my face. I am a sucker for love breaking down walls of the grouch. I look forward to the rest of the series as audiobooks!

Another winner

I've been waiting for Kentigern's story, and it did not disappoint (the grump and sunshine trope gives me life). Audiobooks are my primary means of reading books, so I was thrilled when this and the most recent Prizefighter book dropped.

As good as all the earlier books in the series!!

As good as all the earlier books in the series! Thanks Audible. Now let’s get the Vow on Audible!!

WOW! It doesn't disappoint.

I love all Alice Coldbreath but this one is s fave. It made me laugh and smile. I love it when Aime openly states "I don't love you anymore!". So good. Really kept me involved. Keep up the amazing niveks.

LOOOVE

This is probably my favorite Alice Coldbreath book and the audio version was everything I’d hoped for.
If you’re looking for a historical with a twist, look no further!

Never disappointed by Alice Coldbreath

These stories are captivating escapes into the past. They're romantic, brooding, and very, very sexy.

Love these characters- great series.

Unlikely couple, difficult families, pure motives vs selfish interests- follow the characters from book to book in the series, they all build on each other and complete the story. Sensual marriage, fierce men, kind strong women, and knights competing for the championship. Great book.

A better ending would’ve been a divorce

This is one of the few romances I’ve ever heard where I wished the couple didn’t end up together but beginning to end the husband is such a terrible inconsiderate person who publicly humiliated his wife and never does anything to atone for it instead expecting her to put all the effort into their relationship and continue showing pride in being his wife. Even at one point in his own words proving to her that he doesn’t need her love. He continuously puts his wants above Amiee’s and for the life of me I don’t understand why she lets him. I’m supposed to believe she has a strong will but she spends the book acting like this man’s lapdog and it’s pathetic. I can think of at least five endings that would’ve been better than the one we got that would’ve been far more satisfying. There are at least two points in the book where the husband is claiming he knows what he did wrong and is or is not going to do something, and I really wanted to ask, how’s it feel that no one believes you? Because honestly with the way he was talking and acting none of the other characters believed him and I didn’t believe him either.
