At first I was a bit annoyed at the main character Murie and her superstitions which may have had her married to an abusive husband if the hero didn't step in. But as towards the middle I began to like her more. The hero of the book though was refreshingly great. His honest candor was a great relief from all the "misunderstood rakehills" that are usually the main male leads. Balan was one of the reasons why I continued to read in the beginning when the female lead got on my nerves.

The Brat

In true Lynsay Sands form, you are captivated by the characters and drawn into their lives from the very first paragraph. I love the humour in this story and enjoyed every minute. Thank you Lyndsay!

Lynsay Sands does it again!

This is yet another exceptional romance from Lynsay Sands. She's rapidly become one of my favorite authors. "The Brat," like other titles by Sands is absolutely hilarious and heartwarming. The characters are not only likable, but believable. I couldn't put this book down once I'd picked it up. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes historical romance.

amusing medieval romance

By 1351, everyone from the help to the closest advisors and family members of Edward III know that wealthy heiress Lady Murie is the most spoiled brat in the monarchy. Thus when Lord Gaynor decides he needs a rich spouse, he considers Murie, but his best friends plead with Sir Balan to reconsider. King Edward spoils his goddaughter further when he allows her to select her husband. She chooses Sir Balan because she knows he is a kind and caring person. They marry immediately under the banner of a royal blessing. Murie plans to prove there is more substance to her than being the notorious brat. She knows his people suffered severely from the plague so she insures that everyone receives sustenance. Murie proves her worth and her love when she risks her life to prevent a killer from assassinating her beloved spouse. This is an amusing medieval romance with a late suspense that seems apropos with the changing personalities and relationship between the lead couple. The story line focuses on the Brat trying to demonstrate to her new husband that there is much more substance to her than just being a spoiled royal ward. Lynsay Sands is in top form with this humorous fourteenth century taming of the shrew's husband. Harriet Klausner
