Product Description
He crossed dimensions to claim her as his queen-but her reign may destroy his world. A Bron Universe novel Adrienne Backett wants two simple little things this spring break: rest and relaxation. After nearly four years of slaving away for her college education, she deserves a holiday. What she gets is pulled into another dimension by a man who claims she's his rightful queen. Malik, King of Ulan, has until his birthday to find his bride or he must forfeit his throne. When a spell reveals her location, he will do anything, even cross dimensions, to claim her as his own. As if fending off a lusty king isn't enough of a headache, Adrienne finds herself a pawn in a rival monarch's plot to bring Malik's world to its knees. But is the real danger being stuck in the middle of a power struggle between rival kingdoms? Or the damage Malik could do to her heart? Warning: this title contains adult language, talking animals, violence, and scenes of near rape.

The wait was worth it!, Jun 22 2008
By Winnie G - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Adrienne (Paperback)
Loved this book!Adrienne is assaulted while on campus by a disgruntled student when Malik comes out of nowhere to save her. She is taken back to Bron (modern day Asia) to become Malik's not-so-willing bride. Malik is the king of Ulan, with a short temper and sort of cruel to his people; Adrienne tames the beast as she learns to love Malik.
No racy sex or erotica, just a nice romantic storyline along with a few surprises that keeps this story interesting enough from start to finish.

Sci Fi at it's Best, May 29 2008
By K L "K L" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Adrienne (Paperback)
I have been anticipating this book since I read about it months ago. I was not disappointed. Mrs. Bagby is truly a great story teller. The books starts out with the main character being abducted by her future husband followed by issues they face together on Bron. The book was good from the beginning to end. (Where most book fizzle in the middle) this one did not. I am so happy someone was able to keep my attention and incorporate Sci Fi within it. Great Job! I would recommend this to anyone who loves IR, Sci Fi and mystery. I look forward to order her other books.

This review is from: Adrienne (Paperback)
STORY BRIEF:Malik lives in another dimension, a parallel earth known as Bron. Malik is king of Ulan, one of 14 kingdoms on Bron. Kakra is a rival kingdom. Malik must marry his one-true blood mate before his 25th birthday or he forfeits his throne, and the king of Kakra will take over Ulan. Using magic Malik finds his mate, Adrienne, a college student human on Earth. Malik travels to the Earth dimension just in time to save Adrienne from a rape in progress. He kills the two attackers and takes her to Bron. Much of the story is Adrienne reacting to this strange new world. She is a reluctant queen-to-be. She doesn't like the clothes. She doesn't want to socialize or meet anyone. She wants Malik to stay away from her and not talk to her. She discovers many people have magic abilities on Bron. She finds herself able to do magic as well. The longer she is there, the stronger her powers become. One of her powers is communicating with animals. She has an interesting relationship with Fehr, Malik's pet panther-like creature. Because of the feud with other kingdoms, Adrienne's life is in danger and Malik has full-time guards assigned to her.
REVIEWER'S OPINION:
There is more magic and fantasy than romantic relationship development, but the relationship story is good. This feels like an offbeat story about Cinderella's life starting AFTER Prince Charming takes her to the castle. But in this case, we have a reluctant Cinderella who is annoyed with what she finds. However, she comes to like things and fits in in interesting ways. Some readers may not be happy with the imperfect hero Malik. As another reviewer "Winnie G" states he has a short temper and is sort of cruel to his people. The words "refreshing change" in my title come from the reviewer "D. Quinn." It fits well. Thank you to both.
