Publisher Description
~The Prince of No Value~
Brishen Khaskem, prince of the Kai, has lived content as the nonessential spare heir to a throne secured many times over. A trade and political alliance between the human kingdom of Gaur and the Kai kingdom of Bast-Haradis requires that he marry a Gauri woman to seal the treaty. Always a dutiful son, Brishen agrees to the marriage and discovers his bride is as ugly as he expected and more beautiful than he could have imagined.
~The Noblewoman of No Importance~
Ildiko, niece of the Gauri king, has always known her only worth to the royal family lay in a strategic marriage. Resigned to her fate, she is horrified to learn that her intended groom isn’t just a foreign aristocrat but the younger prince of a people neither familiar nor human. Bound to her new husband, Ildiko will leave behind all she’s known to embrace a man shrouded in darkness but with a soul forged by light.
Two people brought together by the trappings of duty and politics will discover they are destined for each other, even as the powers of a hostile kingdom scheme to tear them apart.
Customer Reviews
Cosy
Pretty good on the whole, some interesting use of language, very gentle in some ways too, a cosy type of book.
Love is indeed beyond just skin and bones
It was recommended as a good read. I was not really expecting much as it "seemed" like a typical romance flick with a bit of spice. But I WAS WRONG.
It was beautifully written with the right amount of dry sense of humour , romance (that just makes you anticipate) and an ending that is gratifying and just beautiful.
Their love story is a slow burn. It doesnt start with dizzing heights of love and lust. It starts with RESPECT, PRACTICALITY OF THEIR DUTIES, SENSE OF HUMOUR AND FRIENDSHIP.
Its a gem to read!!!
Beyond skin, flesh and bones... prejudices we have when it comes to physical attributes .... LOVE AND RESPECT really opens our eyes to what is beautiful .
WORTH READING INDEED !!!
