Commentary To Books The Prize

Librarian's Note: Alternate cover for this ISBN can be found here.

In the resplendence of William the Conqueror's London court, the lovely Saxon captive Lady Nicholaa was forced to choose a husband from the assembled Norman nobles. She chose Royce, a baron warrior whose fierce demeanor could not conceal his chivalrous and tender heart. A resourceful, rebellious and utterly naive, Nicholaa vowed to bend Royce to her will despite the whirlwind of feelings he aroused in her. Ferocious in battle, seasoned in passion, Royce was surprised by the depth of his emotion whenever he caressed his charming bride.

In a climate of utmost treachery, where Saxons still intrigued against their Norman invaders, Royce and Nicholaa revelled in their precious new love ... a fervent bond soon to be disrupted by the call of blood, kin and country!

Assess Of Books The Prize

This review is the story from from the pov of the female lead, Nicholaa. She was spunky, brave and deserves something different.Nicholaa - The Normans and Saxtons are at war, the Normans are winning. I easily defeated two Norman invaders but the third is difficult to get rid off. There are rumours that I will be captured and given to some Knight as a Prize, I plan to escape before that. Royce is cunning and will hand me over to the King soon. I keep trying to escape but he finds it amusing and

Well I'm 80 pages in and so far, I'm not impressed. At all. The heroine Nicholaa is just...annoying. The author says time and time again that she's just so sweet that she can't hold a grudge against anyone. Really? No one at all? Not the people who are invading your country, slaughtering your people, and hacking off your younger brother's right hand? You can't be mad at those people? Why not? Because you have no spine? Because you have no honor? Weakest. heroine. ever.Garwood seems to think that

Yes, Royce would train his men.And she would train him.My 5-star rating is very much informed by nostalgia. Sorry not sorry. Look, I was 16 when I first read this, and 16 year-old me thought that it was the bee's knees. 33 year-old me acknowledges that it is not actually the bee's knees, but it remains divine in its own way.Of all the historical romance authors who rose to prominence in the 1980s, I most prefer Julie Garwood. I'd describe her as having a soft bodice-ripper style. Her novels were

This is a spun-sugar version of Woodiwiss' The Wolf and The Dove. Perhaps if I'd never read that then I'd feel more charitable, but honestly, this is the lesser in every way possible. Granted the original was a rapey bodice ripper which might not suit people or be a trigger, but being inside both Royce and Nicolaa's heads with their repeated mantras of 'Is this love?' and 'I'll be agreeable' made we want to smack them both. I'm sure other reviewers have referenced "Checkmate" and the sling, but

I picked this book because I was of a mind to read lighter stories after Helen Hollicks sober Saxon series (The Forever Queen / I Am the Chosen King) and because Norman Conquest, which is the period depicted in this novel, is my current favorite historical theme. Also, I have never read a Julie Garwood novel before and it intrigued me to find out why many readers seem captivated by her romance stories.The story follows Nicholaa, a young Saxon noblewoman, who is forced to marry one of William the

I love love LOVE all the Julie Garwood books i have read, except this. I liked Nicholaa at first - she was interesting, smart and drew your in - Royce seemed sweet with not too much of a temper, only then they got married. It seemed like as soon they got hitched, he became a pig and she became plain annoying. What happened to the woman who shot an arrow in a mans arse when he tried to take her home from her? It seemed like every time she got annoyed at Royce he'd pet her a little and all would

It does not matter how many times I read it, it always brings me to laughter and good mood.
