Lyn Stone (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Historical | Publication Date: June 1, 1999

SHE WAS ALL HE HAD EVER WANTED

When Edouard Gillet, Comte de Trouville, wed the beauteous Lady Anne of Naincroft, he thought he had found his heart's desire. But was the passion he had willingly declared from the battlements shared by his newly pledged bride? Or would the unspoken secret still between them destroy their newfound happiness?

Though it would break her heart, Anne prayed that Edouard would leave Scotland behind and return to the Court of France. For the longer he stayed, the greater the risk he would discover that her son was not all he seemed—and the mighty comte was surely not a man who could accept anything less than perfection.

4.0 out of 5 stars I only wish it was longer, September 26, 1999

By 

Elaine Davis - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bride Of Trouville (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)

Perfectionist Edouard Gillet has angered King Phillip so hedecides to lay low for a while in Scotland. He takes his young sonwith him who needs a mother figure to teach him the more genteel facets of life. Anne is for from perfect and she has a son many would view as 'the son of the devil' because he is deaf. Through a series of events they are married and fall in love, with Edouard admitting his love early and Anne holding off because she hasn't told him her son is deaf. Its nice to read a story where the hero and heroine are not the usual young and naive. Anne is in her late 20's and Edwouard is a little older. Of course both have their secrets and each is hurt when they discover that the other has been holding back on the other.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reluctant groom for reluctant bride who's protecting her son, July 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bride Of Trouville (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)

Edouard Gillett, the Comte of Trouville, is leaving France before King Philip decides to take more than his lands away. He is going to Scotland. Dairmid Hume is travelling with him, and while on the journey sells Edouard on the idea of taking a bride. Hume has a widowed niece holding an estate in trust for her ten-year-old son. He agrees to meet her, but will not marry her unless it is what she desires. She doesn't want to marry any man, but when Hume threatens to take away her son Robert, if she doesn't marry Trouville, she agrees. She'll simply have to hide Robert's deafness from Edouard. Anne soon finds her heart stolen by Edouard, but each time she decides to tell him about her son, the comte acts in a way that reveals that he dislikes imperfection. Lyn Stone has written a wonderful tale of love, trust and acceptance. The story is not predictable in the least and is full of lots of twists and turns. Don't miss this winner!

4.0 out of 5 stars An Intelligently Written Story..., March 12, 2006

By 

Holly Golightly (Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bride Of Trouville (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)

Bride of Trouville was a refreshing change from the usual romance drivel. No purple prose here! The characters think and act realistically; I liked the way the story unfolded naturally, there seemed to be no gratuitous scenes. If I had any criticsm it would only be that I would have liked the loves scenes to be more detailed. That is the only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars. However, it is a minor quibble in view of how much I liked this book. I definitely recommend it.
