Summary: Exciting and Passionate--Get One!
Review: After reading Shelley's last book, ONE WICKED NIGHT, I had to pick up whatever she wrote next. I enjoy medievals, so was thrilled to start this book. Right away, I noticed this wasn't your typical medieval. I also adored Aric and Gwenyth instantly. They were a great couple. Their banter was spirited, sometimes funny and sometimes poignant. The depth of emotion in Shelley's books, once again, left me glued to my chair. You really see these people, total strangers wed to each other in the first chapter, come to understand and love each other fully. You know they will live happily ever after. And Aric--oh. There is one sexy man! I thought the way he tried to reclaim his honor and give Gwenyth her heart's desire gave him such heart. Did I mention this book is plenty steamy too? I LOVED this book, and I can't wait for Drake's and Kieran's stories! I'll be first in line to buy them. Anything by Shelley is an auto-buy for me now!

Summary: His Lady Bridfe
Review: Aric Neville is finished with war, battle, and jockeying for political power. What he has seen during the reign of Richard III has soured him to all these things. He becomes a hermit and lives in a hovel on the estate of the Earl of Capshaw. The locals decide he is a sorcerer, especially after the onset of a drought. The earl decides to appease the sorcerer so that he will end the drought and gives his unwanted niece Gwenyth to Aric in marriage. Gwenyth is miserable and is not shy about showing it. But her uncle will kill her before he would let her back into his home. Her beauty is too much competition for his plain daughters, and he can marry them well in her absence. She suffers in Aric's poor abode until his past catches up with him, and she finds out that he's a man with titles and castles. Misunderstandings of motivation ensue, and it looks like this couple may never be able to stay together... Shelly Bradley takes the (at least currently) less popular view of Richard III as villain and makes it very real. With the exception of some editing problems a fine read, and a promising start to a trilogy.

Summary: A PASSIONATE BATTLE OF WILLS...
Review: He was a legend on the battlefield, but Aric Neville, known throughout England as the White Lion, had had his fill of intrigue and bloodshed. So he threw down his sword and walked away, to live a solitary life, cultivating a reputation as a sorcerer. But his prized tranquility was shattered when the villagers brought him a bride. Gwenyth de Auburd was an ebony-haired beauty too impudent to ignore, and too tempting to resist. Soon, Aric found himself fight a losing battle against a rising desire for the luscious, willful maiden he had come to cherish as his wife. HIS LADY BRIDE is the first book of the passionate Brothers In Arms medieval trilogy. Set against the backdrop of the turbulent Wars of the Roses, this story of a fierce warrior and his prickly Cinderella-like bride jumped from my heart right on to the page. I sincerely hope you enjoy HIS LADY BRIDE. Watch for HIS STOLEN BRIDE bride ... and HIS REBEL BRIDE.... Happy reading always! Shelley Bradley

Summary: A Wonderful Story!
Review: In November 1484, Aric Neville--also known as the White Lion for his strength and bravery in battle--was going home. The princes of England were dead and King Richard III--the boys uncle-- was on the throne. Aric had been a warrior his whole life, but he could do it no more. He left behind a title, lands and money, to live in seclusion in the woods in a ramshackle cottage with a dirt floor. Lady Gwenyth wasn't having a good day. It was April, 1485 and she was being forcibly removed from her home where she had resided with her uncle's family since the death of her parents years earlier. He had never wanted his niece in his home in the first place and had taken her in grudgingly, only to make her slightly better than a maid. He had finally decided that she would either be married to the local sorcerer or be killed, the decision to be made by the sorcerer. The Sorcerer was Aric, and he hadn't minded the locals incorrectly thinking of him that way. It had assured him the peace which he desperately needed but which was going to come to an abrupt end by the looks of it. Unable to see Gwenyth killed he agrees to wed her, something he doesn't completely regret once he witnesses her warmth and spirit. Not happy with Aric's apparent lack of wealth, yet finding herself thinking of him in a progressively more wifely manner, Gwenyth is happy to discover that he is actually titled and rich. Returning to his former life to aid a friend, Aric is dismayed that the woman he has started to care for apparently is able to say she loves him once she finds out the truth whereas she couldn't while they lived in the cottage. Convinced that she is only after his money and power, he heads off to war with the King, where he is unable to get thoughts of her out of his mind. These two people have many issues they need to resolve before they are going to live happily ever after. Aric despises the hypocrisy of the titled people--Gwenyth craves the lifestyle. Aric would be happy living in the woods with nothing but the love of his life--Gwenyth can't stand the thought. It boils down to trust and love and how these two strong-minded, passionate and desperately in lust people are going to get past their differences to see if that lust is actually love, and if it's strong enough to make their differences irrelevant. -------------- Shelley Bradley has done it again! She loves writing the most powerful, strong and dynamic men, and then she throws them into the middle of the most tortured, passionate scenarios. In HIS LADY BRIDE, both Aric and Gwenyth go through some life altering situations courtesy of Shelley, and both must grow and learn in order to be able to make it through. From Aric's honor and pride to Gwenyth's interesting vocabulary, readers of historical romance are sure to love this latest offering from Shelley Bradley. Based on actual events of the time, HIS LADY BRIDE is a fast paced, exciting story in which the author has taken advantage of the horror of the truth and worked it to her advantage, making her characters that much stronger for having lived through it themselves. ~sue Sue Waldeck
