In The Lady’s Choice, Lady Benae comes to Brightcastle to meet Prince Jiseve and vie with three princesses for the priveldge of becoming his wife. The prince needs an heir, and for that he must put aside his love for his first wife and take another. Benae easily captivates him, and they are soon betrothed. Benae is overjoyed. She needs to do this to secure her estate and to save her land from the dark elves. The prince vows to take care of her and her land. What Benae doesn’t count on is the captivating presence of the prince’s squire, Ramon. He soon steals her heart and eventually loses his own. But honor must prevail and promises must be kept.
The Lady’s Choice is a roller coaster of emotions for everyone involved. Will love prevail, or will duty and honor stand strong? Benae and Ramon find themselves in various situations that test their resolve. Filled with twists and turns, danger, intrigue and romance there is plenty to keep the story moving at a reasonable pace. I liked that Benae was a little older and confortable with her own sexuality. This was an interesting segment to what is shaping up to be an intriging series. I look forward to further installments.
ONE EXHILARATING TREAT!!!
Oh Snap! Man, talk about an out-of-control locomotive ride. An intense storyline and gripping plot holds you tightly on a razors edge and total focus riveted to each word that has you flipping page after page. Bernadette nailed it 100% on point and totally brings this little shocker bursting to life beautifully. Throw in all the drama and suspense and you have one intense, electrifying tale that captures your attention from start to finish. The characters are authentic, impressive and so realistic with such depth and personality its easy to relate. The scenes are written with such realism theres no trouble interpreting each scenario as they play off one another perfectly. Amazing job Bernadette, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
Before we get to find out what happened to Princess Alecia and Captain Anton from book one, Princess Avenger, we first focus on Princess Alecia’s father, Prince Jiseve in book two, The Lady’s Choice by Bernadette Rowley. With Princess Alecia having run off with Captain Anton, the possibility of an heir for the kingdom is out the window.
The widowed Prince Jiseve decides to look for a wife to carry his child, hopefully a son who will ascend to the thrown. Prince Jiseve sets up his own version of the Bachelorette and invites four women to Brightcastle from whom to choose and Lady Benae plans on winning the competition. I love this part of the book, I was on the edge of my seat and so nervous for Lady Benae. Ms. Rowley takes us on an entertaining ride with a mix of wit, devious pursuit, and a seemingly high moral ground, by one character in particular, enter Squire Ramon and all bets are off the table. Lust and love meet head on in a push pull relationship between three people and only two out of the three know whats happening and what is really at stake. I can tell right now that this is going to be an intriguing, dramatic and sexy series. Grab a glass and a hot bath, you’re in for a treat.
Note: There are triggers of physical abuse in this book for those sensitive to the subject.
