I decided while on my recent cruise to go back and reread all of Jude Deveraux's books. I thought it would be fun. 

Book Description

He was wise, strong, and brave. His destiny was to be king. She was young and beautiful, a warrior princess. Her destiny was to love him.


But when first they met, it was not as princess and king—it was as man and woman only, consumed by a passion so sudden, so deep that the very world exploded with one kiss. Only later, with his touch still burning on her lips, did Jura discover that the knight of her secret tryst had been none other than the hated Prince Rowan.

Rowan, who had returned from far-away England to usurp her brother’s throne...Rowan, who vowed to unite the wild clans under his rule.

Furious, Jura swore her enmity to the golden-haired prince whose glorious visage tormented her days and haunted her nights. But nothing would stop Rowan from ruling over the warring tribes...and nothing would stop him from winning the fierce and lovely Jura as his bride, his Queen, his love

My Thoughts


This was a fun read for me. Having read it before it was a great joy to return to Laconia.

When Rowan and Jura meet, they are instantly attracted to one another and Rowan will do anything to have her even call for a competition that Jura has no intention of winning until she does.

Jura thinks Rowan the golden-haired prince is stupid, weak, and unable to lead her tribe. Rowan thinks Jura is beautiful, but she is a woman. As Jura travels with Rowan throughout Laconia to unite the tribes Jura soon realizes that the new Prince may be more than even she thought.

These two are so much fun to see. Jura is so determined Rowan is weak and can't rule Laconia even though he is smart, strong, and well-trained. Rowan thinks Jura should be soft and take care of him til he realizes he needs someone who has his back. As they get to know each and learn to compromise which is no easy thing for them. They soon realize that they are perfectly matched.

I got such a kick out of the way these two people spared and fought. They would fight only to come to the conclusion that they wanted the same thing. It was so much fun to read this book. The story was so good and I enjoyed that Jude incorporated so many different personalities and people into this story to keep it fresh.
