The Maiden

By Jude Deveraux

Book Overview

He was wise, strong, and brave. His destiny was to be king. She was young, beautiful, a warrior princess. Her destiny was to love him. But when first they met, it was not as princess and king -- it was as man and woman only, consumed by a passion so sudden, so deep that the very world exploded with one kiss. Only later, with his touch still burning on her lips, did Jura discover that the knight of her secret tryst had been none other than the hated Prince Rowan Rowan, who had returned from far-away England to usurp her brother's throne...Rowan, who vowed to unite the wild clans under his rule. Furious, Jura swore her enmity to the golden-haired prince whose glorious visage tormented her days and haunted her nights. But nothing would stop Rowan from ruling over the warring tribes...and nothing would stop him from winning the fierce and lovely Jura as his bride, his Queen, his love....

Made me smile

I loved this book, I really did. I was skeptical at first because it takes quite a few chapters for romance to set in, as opposed to all the warring tribe stuff. But once it did kick in, it was like I was right there in the story with Jura and Rowan. I loved their strength, both mentally and physically, and the deep love they both slowly realize they have for one another.And Rowan is so hot!

Great!

What else but the greatest from one of the 20th century's best storyteller
