YUMMY !!!

This book was a fantastic and delicious treat. I often read many books at one time but when I started this book I put all the others on the back burner! Lady Isolbel and the Dragon Knight are spellbinding as they traverse through various life-threatening experiences. There is someone within their midst that cannot be trusted..a terrible evil spreads and wipes out whole villages. Lady Isolbel and Morgan of Nels (AKA Dragon Knight) are hot, hot, HOT! The descriptions of the land and the castles of the time are unbelievable. Be prepared to be transported across the seas through mist and fading light into a brilliant action-thriller with lots of action or EVERY kind. This is an awesome read and I assure you that you won't be disappointed. This is my first Patricia Phillipis book and I'm searching for more!

One greatly told story

This is a very well written story with a touching tale of love and kinship. I had to read this tale straight through. I have read this book twice in 3 days. I am purchasing everything that I can that Patricia Phillips has wrote to date.

Passionate and Compelling

I read Romance novels to be swept away by the passion- made tense by intrigue- be angered by betrayal- and in the end- to be buoyed by the hope of a love that conquers all. Shameless pandering? Yes, in part. But the promise of a good romance is a few hours lifted from reality and mystified by the poetry and allure of an all-consuming love. Bride of the Dragon fulfills that promise with vitality. This novel has it all- the dark wooded hills of Pagan Wales, , the pomp, circumstance, and intrigue of Court, the tension and excitement of a tourney, and the triumph of a love that knows no limits. The heroine, Lady Isobel places her trust in Lionel, a step brother who lives for greed and ambition. He looses a tournament and cannot pay the price he wagered. As a result she is given as a prize to the Dragon, the fierce and formidable competitor who bested her brother on the tourney field. Despite her belief that she has been betrothed to a savage barbarian, she soon finds the Dragon, now known more intimately as Morgan of Nels, to be considerate, caring, and extremely handsome. What develops between them is powerful- an intense love, a deep respect, and a searing passion that few novels can match. Through intrigue, deception, and war they must learn to build a trust in one another that transcends the boundaries of country- a trust as strong as the love they share. Their story throws them into a conspiracy that involves the anger of a king, the betrayal of family, the dark days of plague, and the horror of battle. A story so masterfully woven should only be further unraveled for you by the author. Buy it, settle down with a pillow and a cup of hot chocolate- and let yourself be captivated by the Bride of the Dragon...
