    3. Barbarian Prince Adan Hammerstrike has known that Lizbeth Soulenticer was picked to be his wife since he was a child Lizbeth has been trained in all things Adan, what he likes, what he dislikes, his sexual needs, and his great battles The thought of such a dutiful wife bores Adan to tears, Lizbeth is a beautiful woman but an eternity with her serving to his every whim seems a little mundane As the future king though he has to perform his duty and plans to take her to bed on their wedding night a [...]

    5. This is my first read of a book by Maxine Mansfield and I wasn t disappointed The fantasy world she has created is written in vast detail and invites you into that world from the first pages.Adan is your fantasy alpha male, dominating as the prince of the barbarians, easy to love and hate all at the same time Cocky, arrogant but delicious Lisbeth appears to be as Adan first describes her to be, boring and nothing she can do could hold his attention but he s sorely misjudged the woman he hasn t s [...]

    6. This has to be one of the best romance novels I ve ever laid eyes on The love scenes were passionate, gripping, and hot The world the story takes place in is complete, a full fantasy world, unlike most books in the genre that gloss over setting while focusing heavily on the relationship aspect One of my favorite things from this book, which is totally unique in my opinion, was the rambling and vulgar rants of the gnomes They provided comic relief on a scale I m totally not used to I found myself [...]

Hot, sexy and just plain crazyThere are no words to descript this book, it was funny as helland had passion to back it up.Lizbeth and Adan relationship was not easy with a crazy mother n law and a bad past.But with a little love, touch of laugher and top it off with a great amount of sex it make a great relationship.Great read

    12. Posted on my blog thepararomanceclubI really liked this book I don t know what I was expecting, but let me tell you that this book exceeded all my expectations and then some It was sexy, magical and the world Maxine Mansfield built was so amazing I wish I was living there One of the reasons why this book is so good is because of the two main characters relationship Lizbeth is reluctant and Adan is adamant to prove that their marriage can work this push and pull between them just makes some great [...]
