The Princess: The Bride Quest #1

I had never been into romance and happened to run across this book at a yard sale. I figured for a dollar it wouldnt hurt to try adn the book just blew me away it was so amazing, i passed it around to my friends who found it equally amazing. I was so upset when i fininsh the book because it was over but also couldnt wait to read the rest of the series. I assure you this series will make you want to read them over and over!

The first book I have read of Claire Delacroix and I will now collect all of them. I love Luc and Brianna.

While the story does drag in places, "The Princess" is a wonderful read and a good way to spend a lazy afternoon. The principal characters are well-developed and, for the most part, believable; further, the plot grows more intriguing as the reader gets further into the book. I enjoyed "The Princess" and look forward to reading the other two books in Delacroix' "Bride Quest" series.

Brianna, an innocent princess fighting to save what her father worked all his life to build, sends three brothers out on a quest, but Luc, one of the brothers, was not going to have any of it. Brianna's trust in Luc was almost immediate, though. Maybe it was because he answered all her questions, truthfully, for the price of a "kiss". (so, of course, she asked a lot of questions). As for Connor, he taught his daughter a great lesson in love. A romance story within a romance story, how quaint. I enjoyed the book. Great writing Ms. Delacroix. My favorite of the 3.

Princess Brianna finds her life turned upside-down when her home, Castle Tullymullagh, is captured & she is ordered by King Henry to marry one of the sons of the man who now holds her castle. Determined to wed only for love, Brianna stalls a wedding by sending the sons on a quest. She says that she will wed the man who brings her a gift which makes her laugh louder & longer than any other gift. Two of the brothers leave in search of such a gift, but Luc refuses what he feels is a request from a spoiled princess. Brianna, outraged by his refusal to leave on the quest, chases Luc down prepared to convince him to leave. However, she finds herself intrigued by him & seeks to know him better. The two become close when murder & intrigue soon invade the castle. As they fall in love, both Brianna & Luc worry what will happen when the remaining brothers return and a decision must be made. This book has a strong plot, interesting secondary characters & a gentle love story. I look forward to the next book in The Bride Quest trilogy.
