Product Description

Ingram

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 and deep that the world exploded with one kiss. The book millions of Jude Deveraux fans have been waiting for!. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

First Sentence
WILLIAM DE BOHUN stood hidden in the shadows of the castle's stone walls and looked at his nephew, who sat in the window enclosure, Rowan's golden hair bathed in sunlight, his handsome face frowning in concentration as he studied the manuscript before him. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Could be better, May 20 2003
By "erin-nicole" (Bushkill, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Maiden (Mass Market Paperback)
I only just started reading Jude's books and so far, I like them. I liked most of the characters except Jura. At some points in the book, I just wanted to slap her. Her personality could be much better.

1.0 out of 5 stars As flat as water?, Mar 11 2003
By Aishah (Malaysia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Maiden (Mass Market Paperback)
I find Jude Deveraux very particular. sometimes she writes interesting books such as 'the duchess' and then there is 'the maiden', which, i think is a thoroughly awful title for this book.

yes, the hero is handsome, and obviously the heroine is pretty. they're both strong mentally and physically. but immediately you can see the flaw. they're attracted to each other because he reached for her ankle and caressed her calfs? i didnt get that one. and of course, immediately they fell for each other after a kiss (which ended up the heroine hitting the hero senseless because he was, shall we say, in blinding heat of love). i swear, if i fell in love with every guy who kissed me then i would have kicked j.lo off her record of number of guys i married.

then there's the stupid quarrels, and the 'taking of the maiden' in the woods. that was so mean. i blinked after reading that part. i mean, was that it? her first time? wasn't that rape? i would've rather jumped down a cliff than be her. i dont see rowan being in love with her. more like being in lust. and the entire book is, of course, filled to the brim with sex.

go for this book if you like lotsa shallow sex. no love, just a lot of horizontal jogging.

3.0 out of 5 stars Give me a break!!, Aug 3 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Maiden (Mass Market Paperback)
I found this book to be lacking in many areas. Jura was the most annoying character I have ever read about, you just want to grab her by the shoulders and shake her. Rowan however, seemed to be a believable character, you kind of had to feel sorry for him having to put up with Jura. This book would be good for someone that was into fantasy, but all you romance readers I would recommend you check out her other books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Jude Deveraux's normal style
This story was unlike any other I have read by J.D. Maybe because unlike the VELVET series it didn't take place in England or Scotland. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Made me smile
I loved this book, I really did. I was skeptical at first because it takes quite a few chapters for romance to set in, as opposed to all the warring tribe stuff. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars About to give it away . . ..
I've read this book once in all the years that I've had it. It simply isn't the type of book that I like. There was immediate attraction between the characters. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Astounding Book, Read it again and again!
Wonderful book. I loved Jura's strength and the way they first met, with Jura attacking Rowan.

Although I didn't like Thal's preferential treatment of his children, I truly... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful!
I have read several Jude Deveraux books, and I can say that this is not only the worst Deveraux book I have ever read, but pretty much the worst book I have *ever* read. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The Maiden
The Maiden was the first romance novel that I ever read and I've been hooked not only to romance, but also to Jude Deveraux. She's the best. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars another excellant story and plot
another one that I read in 2 days. I was captivated by rowan and juras relationship. the ending left me hanging but overall it was really good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very intertaining and delightful reading--a page-turner.
Jude (is it pronounced Judy?) Deveraux's The Maiden gave a vivid excursion into the 13th century--much like Knight in Shining Armour, however, this book was plausable, i.e. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Strong men and equally strong women
Jura and Rowan are a lovely couple. With most of Deveraux's books there is always a mystery. This is one of a story of true intent. This was a good Deveraux book. Read more
