Who would marry The Brat?

In this delightful tale of medieval passion, a loyal knight competes with a dangerous villain for the affections of King Edward III’s comely goddaughter—who is not really the petulant brat she first appears to be.

All the knights had heard tales of Lady Murie, King Edward III’s goddaughter and much feted favorite. It was said she was stunningly beautiful, with bright blue eyes, golden hair and a sweet smile. It was also said that the king had doted on the girl and spoiled her rotten. Despite his need, when Sir Balan saw her howling and sobbing, Murie was the last person he wanted to wed.

But all that glitters is not gold, and sometimes diamonds look very, very rough. There was more to Murie than met the eye, and Balan soon learned that he’d be lucky indeed to deserve such a bride. Yet he was not the only one to discern the truth, and the other hopeful hubby was not quite as honorable. A plot was afoot. Soon would come a reckoning, a time to show who was chivalrous, who was a cad and who had won the love of a heart unspoiled.

Readers said…Well, it was fun and entertaining but don’t think you are going to be filled with historical accuracy with this one. The conversations are much like we would talk today. But those readers who just want some fun will probably love the silliness and humor.

This was an enjoyable light-hearted read. For the most part I enjoyed the characters and the premise. However, I truly felt this was mis-titled. The only “brattiness” to be displayed by the lead heroine, Murie, was at the very beginning. It could have been developed into so much more. But all in all it was a nice way to spend an afternoon.
