The Overlord's Bride
Lord Kirkheathe's first wife was dead, and though his liege lord deemed him guiltless, rumor yet tarred his reputation.
Now, Elizabeth Perronet found herself his newly wedded bride with a question of her own: If Raymond D'Estienne were truly no savage, how had he unleashed in her things so…untamed and wild?
Or so believed Raymond D'Estienne, courtesy of his late wife. What, then, was he to make of the remarkable Elizabeth Perronet, fresh from the convent and determined to change his life—in ways he'd never dreamed!

Enjoyable, lightweight medieval with some silly anachronistic behavior at places.

Je n'arrive pas à trouver du temps pour lire en ce moment (un seul roman en deux semaines... 😅), donc cette petite romance était bienvenue, j'ai bien aimé l'héroïne. L'histoire me disait quelque chose, je l'ai peut-être déjà lue dans son édition précédente, intitulée Le loup et la colombe.

Kitabı çok sevdim ve elimden bırakamadan malesefki çabucak bitirdim. Orta Çağ dönemi ile ilgili kitapları ayrı bir sevgim olduğundan, kitapta bunun hoş bir örneği olduğu için çok sevdiğimi düşünüyorum. Elizabeth manastırda geçirdiği 13 yılda çok zorluklar geçirmiş ama yaşama sevincini, direncini kaybetmemiş bir kızdır, Raynold ise ilk evliliği karısının onu öldürmeye kalkışması ve onunda eski karısı itmesi sonucu karısının kazara ölmesiyle sonuçlanmış, o günden kendini her türlü duyguya kapatmış bir lorttur.
Hikayemiz yapılan evlilik anlaşmasına Elizabeth'in kuzeninin uymaması ve onun yerine Elizabeth'in Raynold ile evlenmesi için onun kalesine doğru yola çıkmaları ile başlıyor. Elizabeth manastırdan kurtulmak için elinden geleni yapmaya çalışıp adama iyi bir eş olacağına dair sözler vermiş ve kendini sağlama alarak o gece evlenmelerine sebep olmuştur. İlk başta Raynold onu yok saysada zamanla çift birbirlerine alışmış ve sevmeye başlamışlardır. Ama Raynold'un eski eşinin kardeşi yani ezeli düşmanı ona bu mutluluğu çok görmüştür ve eşiyle birbirlerini sevdiklerini gördükçe çığrından çıkıyordur. Tuzaklar kurulmaya başlanmıştır, en iyi tuzağın bile Elizabeth'in aklı, bilgeliği, öngörü yeteneği ile Raynold'un gücü, cesareti, acımasızlığı karşısında şansı yoktur.

After thirteen years in a convent, where she was starved and beaten, Elizabeth Perronet will do just about anything to escape. When her cousin Genevieve breaks her betrothal to run off with another man, Elizabeth's uncle comes to the convent and offers Elizabeth an ultimatum. Elizabeth must marry the man Genevieve was promised to, or spend the rest of her life in the convent. Elizabeth quickly agrees the marriage, even though she has never met Raymond D'Estienne, Genevieve's former betrothed. Elizabeth doesn't expect to find love in marriage, but longs for children and hopes to find happiness as a mother. Raymond is not looking for love either. His first wife betrayed him, and he is only remarrying to provide an heir. I really enjoyed this love story about two people who don't expect much from marriage finding out just how wonderful love can be. Margaret Moore is becoming one of my favorite historical romance writers. I'll definitely be reading all her books.

This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance
The Overlord's Bride is a book that I actually saw randomly scrolling through my Libby's library and I was shocked to see such an old-school romance. And I instantly grabbed it up and the moment that I started reading it, I was hooked. I had forgotten how much I had enjoyed this author's writing in the past, so if you are looking for a fast quick read, this is definitely one to grab up especially if you want to explore the older historical's that are out there (and trust me there are plenty of great ones) This is part of a series, although it seems to be loosely connected. Its a big series 15 books I think of all medieval era themes and settings and I can't wait to explore the series here more.
The Overlord's Bride features some strong characters in:
Raymond D'Estienne-English Aristocrasy, poor, injured voice,
Elizabeth Perronet-grew up in a convent, beautiful, cunning, and intelligent
The Overlord's Bride sets off with our heroine, Elizabeth, who has been taken from the convent by her uncle who wants her to fulfill an arranged marriage contract that her cousin was originally supposed to fulfill. But when her cousin fell in love with another man, it is now her duty to fulfill the contract. Elizabeth is more than willing to do so, her life in the convent was full of abuse all of her life, and is grateful to escape its horrors. When she first meets her lord and future husband, she sees someone that strikes fear in many but not in her. She knows there is goodness in him and is more than willing to prove to be a good wife and mother to his children. She knows he has had horror in his life as well and feels a connection to him. But there is a plot to a neighboring lord who wants what her husband has and it will take some creative cunning for Elizabeth and Raymond to work together, defeat the enemy and prove to the Earl that they are worthy and of the plot against them from a corrupt lord.
The Overlord's Bride is a story that SURPRISED me so much. I was really stunned by the heroine, she was so wonderful here. You know how in those horror movies, and the character (most times women haha) go down the alley alone and you think to yourself "no no you stupid girl" well I had one of these moments in this book when I thought that the heroine was being too trusting and then she shocks me by being cunning and crafty and setting her own trap for the villain instead of the other way around and man I wanted to clap and cheer this character on because YEP!! I loved it. The romance was sweet and not too full of angst, which I quite enjoyed. It was such a fast read, read it under two hours so it really was quick, faster than I expected. You never know when you delve into older historicals and if the writing will be more harder to adapt to. But its Margaret Moore, and she is so easy to read while also holding up to historical authenticity in the story. The hero was quite a delight, he is somewhat alpha, but not too much. I loved him though, he has scars and injuries, but I like that he doesn't let that set him back. He is determined to protect his people and loved his hard work ethic and devotion to them. I really felt for some of the side characters who get caught up in the trap that the villain sets and I respect the author in showcasing the lives that the poor and how they were used by those more powerful than they. But it was done it quite a admirable way that didn't take from the story but added to it. The setting was so well written, and I loved being able to immerse myself into this medieval era without it being too specific.
Overall I found The Overlord's Bride to be an essential story that was exactly what I needed in a historical (too many modern ones of late), this author's writing voice was such a refresher and a reminder of the gems of older historical's that are deeply missed. Highly recommend you picking this one up here.

Elizabeth had never heard anything quite like the soft hoarseness of Lord Kirkheathe’s deep voice. It seemed at once intimate and frightening, as if he were part beast and, at the same time, pure human male. A man might sound like that in the throes of fierce passion, whispering in her ear.

“It’s love, Elizabeth. Love has come over me. My love for you has freed me and yes, loosened my tongue.” He gave her a small, mischievous smile. “Or perhaps I only wanted them to know how pleased I am with my wife.”

Ele, Raymond, precisa de um herdeiro. Foi traído pela primeira esposa, portanto, não confia nas mulheres e só se casa por causa exclusivamente de um filho.
ela deseja ser mãe. Ela, Elizabeth, passara parte da vida no convento, sofrendo as agruras da vida. Quando a prima quebra o compromisso e foge, seu tio decide entregá-la forçando-a a aceitar o compromisso. E consegue penetrar na couraça construída por ele, porque aos poucos preenche os vazios de sua solidão, libertando os sentimentos há muito enterrados.
Elizabeth é uma sobrevivente, a vida a tornou um mulher bastante sensível e solidária com as pessoas. A duras penas se tornou ativa e excelente julgadora da personalidade humana.
E foi capaz de perceber o sofrimento por trás do homem tenebroso, que foi traído...
E o amor aos poucos cresce, envolvendo-os, não antes de passarem por algo que surge do passado...
Se recomendo? Sim!

Clever heroine
The heroine was the star of this story. Funny and clever. The story moved along at a nice pace. The hero was very likable also but it was really great having a heroine where the hero really took note of her wit. The usual tropes were bypassed thank goodness.

3.5 - 4 stars. On the sweeter side of historical romance. Not that much angst but an overall okay book.

Esse é um livrinho bem antigo mas que eu gosto bastante de reler e me recuso a trocar. Gosto quando autoras de romances de época acertam a mão em escrever uma mulher de personalidade forte, mas que seja verossímil para a época em que a história é passada.
Elizabeth era uma otimista incorrigível, adorei o jeito alegre e super tagarela dela, contrastando com o marido caladão. Apesar de ser um casal com uma boa diferença de idade, isso não pesou muito na história, porque Elizabeth era otimista sem ser ingênua, ela tem um histórico de abusos e de aprender a observar as pessoas ao seu redor que vem ao seu auxílio diversas vezes e da a ela uma certa maturidade.
Já Raymond é o tipo de herói que eu gosto, bem taciturno e aparentemente frio, mas que no fundo é um manteiga e não demora muito para começar a se abrir para a energia de Elizabeth. Também gosto do jeito responsável e protetor com que ele encara os seus deveres com o seu povo, mas que ao mesmo tempo tende ao cauteloso antes do impulsivo.
A revelação final a respeito do inimigo dele já vai ficando clara nas entrelinhas ao longo do livro, mas eu acho que ela serviu bastante para motivar tanto ódio.
Das autoras mais publicadas pela Harlequin no seu auge, Margaret Moore está longe de ser uma favorita minha, mas esse livrinho em especial, ela deve ter escrito em um dia de muita inspiração, na minha opinião, dos que eu li dela (vááários) esse está entre os melhores dos melhores.

I think this might have needed a little more for me to make it a 5. I only wish I knew what part of the medieval time period it is. I was reading it but there is very little mention of royal politics or years so I guess I'll have to be in ignorance.

This book was really sweet but it bored me. It was like, three hundred pages of her being brilliant, him growling and adoring her... and yeah, that's about it.
It really didn't get its claws in me. But honestly there's nothing wrong with the book itself at all. It's really cute. 🤗🤷🏼♀️

Kind of predictable but good love story. Broken heated, deceived man finds love again. Strong female character with great intuition.

Décimo-segundo livro da série Warriors.
É uma leitura bem leve para uma história baseada em traições. Há alguns anacronismos, mas nada que atrapalhe a leitura.
Serve para um dia preguiçoso.

Wow! This little treasure bowled me over. I loved the story from start to finish. The is the first Margaret Moore novel that I've ever read, and based on my experience with this book, it certainly wont be my last! First off, the book is very well written and the characters are all amazingly drawn. Elizabeth is a wonderful heroine. She's a bundle of energy; lively, bubbly, chatty, sweet, loving, and generous to a fault. Having endured a thirteen years in a convent overseen by a cruel, selfish Abbess, Elizabeth is more than happy to comply with her uncle's command that she marry a man she's never met. Elizabeth would rather wed a stranger than have to go back to the convent. Her only worry while en route to the hero's keep is whether or not he will agree to accept her plain self as a replacement bride for her beautiful cousin, Genevieve. Genevieve was Raymond's promised bride, but in an effort to escape the arranged marriage she ended up ruining herself with a Welshman who she married. Genevieve's story precedes this one and can be read in The Welshman's Bride. I have not read that book as yet, but that in no way impeded my enjoyment in this book.
When Elizabeth first meets Raymond she is so adorable in her desperation to get him to accept her as a wife that she makes promises that the little darling can't possibly keep; promises to be humble, biddable, and quiet--this last is particularly difficult for Elizabeth! LOL Raymond is the quintessential tortured hero. He was married before to a woman he loved, and who seemed to love him in return, that is until the night she tried to kill him and Raymond ended up killing her instead.
As a result of the attack by his wife, Raymond is left with a ruined voice; he speaks very low in a harsh rasp. Needless to say, the incident left Raymond with scars, both emotional and physical, and he no longer trust any woman. His sole purpose for remarrying is practicality--he needs the alliance marriage to Elizabeth will bring, and he needs an heir. Raymond has no intention of ever feeling anything towards Elizabeth except "a certain tolerance"; she is a means to an end and nothing more. However, almost immediately upon her arrival Elizabeth begins to wreak havoc in Raymond's life. LOL Very shortly after they marry the two fall deeply in love.
The romance between Elizabeth and Raymond is very sweet and very touching. To add some intrigue to the plot is the enmity between Raymond and his former brother-in-law, who is determined to wreak revenge against Raymond for the death of his sister. The story spans a period of about a year and does skip ahead a period of months a couple of times. As for sexual content, there are a couple of love scenes, but they are minimally described. Furthermore, no crude language is used in the story. This is an amazing book. I loved it and highly recommend it. Happy reading!

me gusto la historia, pero le falta algo a la historia para que no se sienta lenta y repetitiva en algunas partes
July 27, 2015
It is too disjointed. The conversation is flat and
it was an okay novel to spend time. but wasn't that good of a read. atleast it wasn't over the top angsty. so one extra star for that. 3 stars.
*************************************************
Come to think of it, considering this is part of a long series (this being 13th!!), this was actually quite easy to get through even though I haven't read any of the others. There weren't too many characters being thrown in and revived. We had glimpses of them, but this can be read easily as a standalone, which is quite and accomplishment of the author's.
Also, the storyline is simple, straightforward, sweet (nice bit of alliteration). Nothing very ingenious, but rather ingenuous (i've been waiting to use those two words together :D)-- girl locked away in horrid convent married off to scarred, scared of love stranger becomes chatelaine of his castle keep and his heart. There's the obligatory villain-- neighbor, brother-in-law
So, all in all, a good story. still giving it 3 stars :)

For my #3 challenge (Title With Wedding Word), I read The Overlord's Bride by Margaret Moore. Lady Elizabeth Perronet is given an ultimatum by her miserly uncle - marry Lord Kirkheathe, Raymond Destienne, in place of her cousin Genevieve, or return to the convent where she was mistreated for thirteen years. Rather than return to the convent, Elizabeth decides to take a chance on marriage to the dour Lord Kirkheathe.
Raymond Destienne had a reason to distrust all women - years ago, he had killed his first wife, Allicia, in self defense. Her death left him with a ruined voice and a broken heart. His overlord had deemed him faultless, although castle gossips still blamed him for her death.
Now the time has come for him to marry again. Surprisingly, Elizabeth's sunny disposition and loving heart just might help Raymond to overcome the scars of the past. I give this sweet medieval romance a B+!

A pleasant read. Lady Elizabeth is taken from the covenant that she has live in for the past 13 years so that she may be married to Lord Kirkheathe. Kirkheathe, has already had one wife whom he accidentally killed whilst warding off her attempted murder upon his person. Scared and untrusting Raymond (Lord Kirkheathe)enters this marriage with more than just a grain of salt at hand. However Elizabeth's' straight forward, bold and honest nature proves to be just what he needs to heal his wounded heart. A wonderful tale of how two people grow to love each other and how they overcome the obstacles that have been set in their path along the way. I give it 4 stars.

This book caught me from page one. I love reading historic books and this was a gift from a friend. I enjoyed the entire store. The main female character is a strong woman. I felt like i could relate to her because I am like her. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes romance and history

A reread and I still love it. Great hero. Great heroine. The bad guys don't get away with anything ( not even the mean old nun). A true HEA.
