My Review: I
received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Rosemarie starts out with a headful of naïve, no, I
shouldn’t say that, because she’s got a heck more than a head full of naiveté.
Somehow she thinks that once she enters the cloistered life of the monastery,
she will continue to rule the lands she has inherited through the demise of her
parents. Has no one told her that once those vows are said, all lands go to the
king? That little fact seems to be overlooked in the book.
Through her parents’ friend who is also her godfather, she
is shown there is a loophole to the promise given. She must fall in love and
marry before her 18th birthday, which is only a month away. And of
course, he gives her three choices in men.
It’s obvious from the beginning who the winner of the
contest for Rosemarie’s heart will be, as the other two seem far too shallow
for her tastes and have nothing in common with her. Now it’s just a race
against time and the elements who would prefer to see Rosemarie safely
cloistered away so they can have full control over her lands. Maybe the bad
guys didn’t get the notice either the king should get all her lands….
Overall, this was an enjoyable book to read. It was fun to
see the three men competing to win her heart over, though her Godfather seemed
to know the end result far in advance (poor Rosemarie being played by all these
men). It was a cute romance, and I can’t wait to see how the next in the series
is.
