Glorious Romance, Laughter and Delight
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Most historical romances are sober affairs, with tortured heroes, gothic settings, and haunted heroines being pursued by satanic villains. But this 1500's romance features laughter, bedplay, horseplay, and hi-jinks, with enough slapstick and teasing to lighten the darkest dungeon. A deliciously innocent young lady in waiting, Corrie has no idea that men are different from women. But after a wickedly exciting initiation by her cousin Anne, Corrie is immediately enchanted by a handsome Swedish visitor to the English court. Rugar Kallisson has plans of his own, and seduction is merely a means to an end. But innocent Corrie responds to him with such adoring and trusting passion that before long he is fighting for right and justice and sacrificing everything just to make the innocent blonde his bride. Don't be fooled by the stupid Publishers Weekly review above. This is an original story, full of romance and fun, with great period research and a charming mixture of erotic sex, innocent laughter, and historical romance.
An entertaining read.
