The Warrior by Nicole Jordan

Rating: 5 ♥

Synopsis: For five turbulent years, Ariane has dutifully prepared herself for marriage to King Henry's most trusted vassal, the legendary Norman knight Ranulf de Vernay. But cruel circumstance has branded Ariane's father a traitor to the Crown. And now Ranulf is returning to Claredon, not as a bridegroom... but as a conqueror.

Survivor of a hellish youth, Ranulf knows well the treacheries of noblewomen -- and mistrusts the regal, defiant beauty to whom he was once betrothed. But while he shields his wounded heart with impenetrable armor, she sears his soul with sensuous fire. Ranulf may have vowed to claim her lands and her body as his prize, but ultimately it is the mighty warrior who must surrender to Ariane's proud, determined passion -- and her remarkable healing love.

Review: This was a fabulously sexy medieval read, I thoroughly enjoyed it and savored it. My only complaint was that the hero wasn't made to suffer much at all for his deplorable treatment of the heroine. Over all I found this a great book and I am looking forward to reading more books by this author! My cover is far better than this one, but I couldn't find a copy for this review....

I don't think I have read any of Nicole Jordan's works. I think she is on my TBR though. Thanks for sharing.
