The Temptress (Bride Quest 6) by Claire Delacroix. With quasi-archaic ye know naught the knots of yearning plots that perplex and beset, overly feminist inclinations, family from the series, another shrew-taming variation unfolds. More light than serious, much introspection, magic extraneous. Leisurely rhythm soothes, homage to traditional tales.

Fictional "love romance" story set during the time of the Crusades. Very light reading (for me) as it didn't have the historical "depth" that I prefer in such books. If you're into tales where the girl gets the boy after much virginal "angst", then read this.

What excuse can I give? I like her books and have decided they need to be under fantasy and romance and history. I would recommend them to anyone who likes all three rolled up into fluff.

Bayard seeks Esmeraude's hand so that he can reclaim the family holding given to his uncle and cousin.
Great heroine and charming hero. Very evil villain though.
