In the resplendence of William the Conqueror's London court, the lovely Saxon captive, 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. 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!

The narrator read with such passion and I was laughing so hard at the part when Nichola got drunk. Great job!

I loves this narrator!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

This book starts with a strong character who protects her land from harm by carrying around a sling. However, as soon as she meets her darling husband she turns into a sappy, hangy, woman who tries to earn his respect by throwing tantrums. Perhaps the difficulty is that this is an audio book. If you were reading a normal book you could skip a page here, or a paragraph there and the plot would move along fine and keep you interested. But wading through every last detail gets tedious.

Has The Prize turned you off from other books in this genre?

A bit...

Which scene was your favorite?

When on the roof protecting her castle, she slings a stone and fells the leader of the approaching army.

Do you think The Prize needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No. One was bad enough.

Any additional comments?

I feel stupider (Is that a word?) for having listened to this book.

Looking for a sappy romance? This dud's for you!
