Book Review:
BRIDE OF THE BEAST by Sue-Ellen Welfonder
A historical romance with overtones of Beauty and the Beast, this novel features scarred knight Sir Marmaduke Strongbow who vows to protect besieged Lady Caterine Keith. Caterine has no need for a second husband, but she accepts Strongbow’s offer of marriage to avoid a nasty neighbor who lusts after her for his own. Despite their growing passion, Caterine and Marmaduke must find the traitor among them before his treachery leads to their downfall. Setting: Scotland, 1330. Richly detailed.
