From Publishers Weekly
This leaden second entry in Delacroix's medieval-era Jewels of Kinfairlie trilogy finds Alexander Lammergeier marrying off yet another sister for financial reasons—and, as in the first book, The Beauty Bride, he feels the need to trick the bride into participating. Playing upon his sister Vivienne's love of fairy stories, Alexander spins a tale—a mortal woman once fell asleep in the castle's highest tower and was seduced by a fairy prince—that compels her to climb the tower and await her own fairy prince. Unfortunately, the lover she meets, a mysterious man willing to pay her brother a hefty sum for her hand, is thoroughly mortal, and their passionate encounter leaves her compromised, sadly disillusioned and handfasted to the gruff Erik of Blackleith, who needs a noble bride and an heir to re-establish his claim to his family's estate. As the pair head for Blackleith, Vivienne strives to thaw her husband's icy heart, but Erik is so charmless that it's hard to root for her success. Vivienne, in turn, comes off as weak-willed, essentially accepting her role as broodmare until she can breach Erik's defenses. A prominent fairy subplot is knit throughout, but it serves more as a distraction than a complement to a love story that often feels like a recycled (and diluted) version of The Beauty Bride. (June)

About the Author
The Jewels of Kinfairlie trilogy is here! There was an excerpt of THE BRIDE AUCTION in the back of THE WARRIOR - but after that book went to press, the titles of all three books were changed. THE BRIDE AUCTION became THE BEAUTY BRIDE which published in January, 2005; THE BRIDE THIEF became THE ROSE RED BRIDE, coming out in June 2005; and THE BRIDE WAGER became THE SNOW WHITE BRIDE, coming out in November 2005. A confessed romantic dreamer, bestselling author Claire Delacroix always wove stories in her mind. Since Claire's first medieval romance - THE ROMANCE OF THE ROSE - was published in 1993, she has won numerous awards and accolades. THE BEAUTY, part of her successful "Bride Quest" series, was her first book to land on the New York Times' Extended List of Bestselling Books. Claire has well over two million books in print, which include historical romances as well as contemporary and paranormal romances published under the name Claire Cross. Claire is an avid knitter and traveller (even though she can't knit on airplanes anymore) and lives in Canada with her husband.
