Champion
Can the power of her passion warm a knight's cold heart?
The kingdom of Falconia is under siege from neighboring Ravenia after Falconia's bewitching Princess Aurora refuses to marry Ravenia's king. Aurora does not love the king, and an ancient family curse decrees that is she marries without mutual true love she will die within a year. From across Europe come six knights determined to rescue the raven-haired beauty, but only one can be her champion and win her for his wife. And it's the bold, brooding Venetian knight Niccolo who sets her body on fire with his piercing gaze.
While she burns for the brooding Niccolo, Aurora knows that he does not trust her. For though he aches with wanting her, Niccolo remembers too well how another woman once betrayed him and he has vowed never to surrender his heart again. Now it is up to Aurora—her love must be strong enough to melt Niccolo's frozen heart, banish the family curse and save her from certain death.

I couldn't decide between 2 and 3 stars, so let's call it 2.5. This is one of those books that I wish someone else wrote. It has a fairytale charm to it, and a semi-decent plot, but the writing is really, really bad. Distractingly bad. I went in expecting a solid 1 star read, so overall I'm not disappointed.

I think I might have read this back in high school but can't quite remember...guess that says a lot. The writing wasn't horrible, neither was the plot, which had fun fairy tale aspects. But the characters annoyed me to no end. The heroine was simpering and flighty with no depth, and the hero was cynical and cruel though he of course came around by the end. Entertaining but so incredibly unrealistic (yes, even for the romance genre) that I just could not get sucked in.

Incomparable! Inégalable! L'apogée de la lecture à son... PIRE! D'une horreur difficilement supportable. Et le poster de Fabio en page centrale ne fait rien pour aider! Même les oeuvres complètes de Shakespeare ne sauront me réconcilier avec la littérature sans dommage collatéral! Ça m'apprendra à m'essayer au "dare" de mes (fausses) amies!!
En un mot: BEURK!

Like Comanche, this book was a disappointment. I think that if I can find it again, I'm going to re-read it. Sometimes, books are worth a second chance, and I think this is one of them.
