1.0 out of 5 stars Turgid melodrama, October 5, 2006

This review is from: Conquest Bride (Harlequin Historical) (Mass Market Paperback)

I too had high hopes for this book and I have always had a soft spot for Norman/Anglo-saxon romance. Alas, this was a stinker.

Varin is sent by the Conqueror to handle the situation at an important castle. Naturally the daughter of the house, Lady Eaditha is a spit-fire determined to hate the Norman swine.

And she hates and hates and hates etc. Very repetitive and Eaditha is a childish, spiteful nit-wit.

Varin is little better, being a sulky bear.

There is a decent story lurking beneath this tale, but unfortunately the writing style used submerges it almost completely. Occasionally it grabs the reader's attention, but then the dreadful, over written, turgid style strangles it.

Too bad.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it, May 28, 2006

This review is from: Conquest Bride (Harlequin Historical) (Mass Market Paperback)

My friend tells me all about her love novels, shes majorly into vampire/midevil novels, so i normally just listen, but she begged me to read this novel and thus I loved it.

Varin is a fierce knight who refuses to fall in love for fear that all women are like his whorish mother, but boy dont things change when he meets the beautiful, mysterious, chestnut colored purple-blue eyed Saxon Lady, Eadita.

trying hard to fight the passion rising between them, they both say and do hurtful things to each other, but when alone in the kings palace, their hate for each other turns in to bitter sweet love making which takes the innocence of the Lady.

i really did love this novel and I recommened it to anyone willing to sit and read a beautiful love making novel.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but vitriol too strong..., November 1, 2006

This review is from: Conquest Bride (Harlequin Historical) (Mass Market Paperback)

I found Varin to be just about perfect in looks and as a warrior, and Eaditha was a great girl; just too much arguing and bitter fighting between them. Doesn't make for a great story when all the characters do is fight - not very nicely, either.
