Ilustration In Favor Of 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!Rating Epithetical Books The Prize

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 theBefore starting this book you may want to mentally prepare yourself for a kowtowing heroine because if that kind of trait bugs you (like it does me to no end) this book has the potential to get on your nerves fast. Theres that and the fact that the hero is painfully overbearing and you think hes going to get the oh so deserved whack upside the head eventually but he never does unfortunately which is a shame because it could have done him a world of good :)Briefly, the story is about Nicolaa (no
This is my first Julie Garwood and if this is how she writes her stories, then I think I would be reading some of her books in the future.The Prize is fluffy book, one that I didn't expect from a medieval novel. I've always thought that books that are set during the time of William the Conqueror is kinda boorish or stuffy. Which is wrong because if Julie Garwood'S novel is to be set as an example, then this era is more "loose" than the Victorian era. Women here are "encouraged" to maim
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
Once again, Julie Garwood delivers a heartwarming, humorous, and delightfully romantic tale. What I liked most about this book was Royce's character (he's not one Garwood's prototypical hero) and the relationship between him and the heroine, Nicholla. Royce is a hero to adore. He may not be extremely good-looking, with a badly scarred face, but he has the perfect combination of alpha and beta characteristics. He's powerful, driven, and a true leader; but he also possess a strong benevolent side
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
Written October 13, 20143.8 Stars - Safely, securely and precisely what expected. - Sweet charming, well written 'oldish' HRA Ms Garwood historical read (or listening) can not be but heartwaring and enjoying. The Prize a historical from 1991, here narrated by a very professional Anne Flosnik in a 12 hrs audiobook, is no exception. Perhaps you don't hear or see me sing and dance with joy after this novel, but at least I warm up for some very happy cheer jump step. A sweetie one!
