The Warlord Claims His Bride (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.I know that Jenika Snow can write amazing, entertaining MC books, but had no idea she is just as talented at writing historical romance. She proved her writing skills in The Warlord Claims His Bride which I devoured in one sitting.Bronson Lyon is the warlord of Clan Lyon and he has recently won back all of his lands from the thieves that killed his father when Bronson was only a child. He is tired of fighting and wants to settle down with a wife and start a family. But instead of looking for a fine lady, he is looking for a peasant woman who understands the value of hard work. After calling in all the women from the village, his eye is caught by a beautiful redhead who he decides is the one he will marry. Genevieve is attracted to Bronson but never expects that she would one day marry him. She is nervous but he is able to win her over. As the two fall in love, it appears that Bronson’s desire for peace may not come true.One of the many reasons that I love Ms. Snow’s work is because I always find myself easily lost in the story. No matter what’s happened that day, I know that I’m in for a fun time. While reading, I find myself alternating between laughing, crying, and panting from the erotic sex scenes. In The Warlord Claims His Bride, I was able to completely immerse myself in the developing relationship between Bronson and Genevieve. There are no surprises in the story but that’s just fine by me. There is something so comforting in opening a book and knowing just what to expect. And since I’m expecting a good story, interesting characters and hot sex, there really isn’t anything else I could want.Please be aware that while The Warlord Claims His Bride is considered historical romance, it is more of a fantasy and while it holds some historical facts, there are references that are not correct for the time period. I certainly didn’t mind because the book was so enjoyable that I really didn’t notice any historical inaccuracies and I really doubt you will notice either. Hopefully this is the start of a new series for Ms. Snow because I really enjoyed this new universe she created. The Warlord Claims His Bride is more erotica than romance. If one gets this don't expect a deep story. Its mostly erotica. What didn't work- the romance. I didn't feel a connection between the hero and heroine. Even their erotica was blah. The story was blah. Not really compelling.What did work- I liked the heroine. She was nice, ordinary and the hero was her only lover. I liked the hero. He was a warrior. Tough. Badass. Took care of business.This was a quick, ok read.
