Product Description
Ingram
Danielle D'Aville, the ward of Edward III, was sworn to obey the King's order to marry her enemy Adrien MacLachlan, the legendary Scot who masterminded the fall of Danielle's beloved home, Aville. Suddenly she was the arrogant knight's reluctant wife, pledged to a marriage neither desired. But swept off to his castle in the Scottish highlands, and into his strong embrace, Danielle was soon possessed by a raging passion for the husband she had vowed to despise.

Avid Historical Romance Reader from NJ,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kings Pleasure (Paperback)
I have read almost every period novel written by Shannon Drake/Heather Graham. I put off reading The King's Pleasure based on the other reviewer's comments that the characters fought and the stress and tension in the book was constant. Boy am I ever sorry I let those comments keep me from reading what is by far one the best stories I've read in awhile-and I read alot! The fact that the characters meet when she is a child, half the battles are pranks. These two characters are as honest and caring towards each other, as is possible, while maintaining their own loyalties. Please if you enjoy Shannon Drake then run, don't walk and get your hands on this book. Its a fast read two days at most and you won't be disappointed.

Not as good as I would have thought...frustrating,
By Kristal Gorman (Buffalo, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kings Pleasure (Paperback)
I love Shannon Drake's works, but I was a little bit frustrated with this book. I had to make myself finish it, and I am a person that loves to read and hates to leave a book unread. I absolutley loved Adrien! He was every woman's dream. Strong, loyal, loving when he needs to be, and capable of emotions, not to mention gorgeous. I hated Danielle! What a whiner and a treasonous sneak. What a thanks Edward gets for giving the ungrateful brat a place to live when she has nowhere else to go. She made me so mad I wanted to throw the book across the room, or in the trash. Enough about Arville already. That's all she talked about. My goodness, and to hold a grudge against Adrien for something that he did when he was ten years old and she wasnt even thought of yet, not to mention something she knew nothing about was just ridiculous. Also, the "relationship" that she had with Philip was ludicrous. To be that loyal to a man that you have only met once, just because he gives you a friggin horse is totally unbelievable! I loved the love that Adrien had for Danielle. I just wish that Mrs. Drake could have given him a better heroine. The one she gave him was unbearable!

A very tedious read...,
By "catherinepacnw" (pacific northwest) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kings Pleasure (Paperback)
I started reading this book hoping for an awesome romance set in my favorite time period, the Middle Ages. What I found was an overdone history lesson and no romance. I'm sure it picks up somewhere but I just didn't have the patience. If you love a lot of history and political intrigue in a book, then this one is for you. I personally could not get past the 100th page.
