I bought this book because I'd really enjoyed one of this author's earlier books, ENCHANTED, which is a Harlequin release. If an author can write a good book in the oppressive restrictions of catagory romance, I usually deem them worthy of a try with a full-length novel, where there are fewer rules.

About a knight named Burke, who is going to find his bride, a woman he thinks turned him away 3 years before. Turns out she never knew that he offered, and she was treated by a maid by her aunt and uncle. They leave for France, to get married, and she brings her shy cousin with them so that they can find her a husband. Turns out that Alys is an heiress, and her father is a knight. This is the 2nd in the Bride Quest series. First one is The Princess. Third one is The Heiress.

I didn't pay attention when I picked this up. It is a series; and I'm going to apparently have to search for the other books.
