Maiden Bride Deborah Simmons 9780373289325 Books

I have read other books by the author and enjoyed them however this book was atrocious. There was not one redeeming quality to Nicholas. He was a selfish, nasty man throughout the majority of the book. By the time the author tries to redeem him, it's too late.
The heroine is not much better. It is utterly unbelievable that someone would fall in love with Nicholas especially during the height of his most abusive behavior. Ugh. Just awful. I had to force myself to finish it. NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!!

Maiden Bride Deborah Simmons 9780373289325 Books Reviews

Lady Gillian has been living in a nunnery..She is the last of the Hexham line.Nicholas De Lac has hated Lord Hexham with every fiber of her body.He is dead so when he finds out about Lady Gillian he vows to get his revenge through her by marriage. She never even knew her uncle. He is only thinking of ways for revenge all the way to get her so they can marry. He does everything he can to make her miserable even confining her in her room at first. He finds himself having attraction for her. He can not have that so what will happen can he fight it. A person is introduced later in the book who can cause more problems. The author did a wonderful job with this book I read it all in one sitting. I will not spoil for the ending for you. I don't think you would not like this book.
Loved the first book, but not a great fan of this one. I felt like the H was a ping pong ball back and forth between "I want and need revenge" and "I am falling for this person." It was a bit unbelievable that he would hold this woman, who didn't even know Hexham, responsible and have such deep seated hatred for the sins of an un-met relative.
Maiden Bride by Deborah Simmons starts out with Nicholas de Laci brooding over the injustices done to him. His brother in law Piers, had stolen the vengeance he had sought against Lord Hexham and now he feels for and lives for nothing. Until the king sends a royal decree that he is to marry the last Hexham heir, Lady Gillian who has been living in genteel poverty in a nunnery. Gillian's uncle had escaped Nicholas' vengeance but now he has the last Hexham to sate that desire. As he journeys to her convent he delights in thinking up all sorts of punishments befitting her tainted blood. Then he sees the tall, voluptuous red head and his thirst for vengeance falters. He alternates between hating her and lusting after her and he soon drives everyone around him mad with his capricious moods. Pretty soon he cannot stop Gillian from worming her way into his heart and just when he has accepted her and the possibility of a future unclouded with hate, another Hexham heir steps forward. Can his newfound love overcome his once driving need for vengeance?

Nicholas de Laci has a single minded need for vengeance that is a little annoying. He's either brooding or yelling and it gets old sometimes. I liked him, but geez, shut up. Gillian tries to make the best of her situation but I think she was a little too much of a doormat. True, there's not much she can do when her lord of the castle husband lays down his feudal law, but still, there was always that nightshade option. Just a little sprinkle and then all her problems would be over.

Gillian calls Nicholas a selfish ba*t*rd several times over in this book and it's true. He is. He has this childish need to keep her only for himself that overrides all common sense. He refuses to let her out of the bedroom, refuses to let her take over her duties of chatelaine, refuses to let her help the sick. She is to live only for him and no one else is to come between them. It's almost as if he wants to stick her in his pocket and cart her around wherever he goes. The more onerous of his plans he does not carry out against her but just reading about his inner musings was enough for me to want to break out the poison. He is a little one dimensional with his constant drivel about vengeance but it's okay because it just lets Gillian shine more in this revenge tale. She is a brave, proud and hardworking woman who is doing the best she can, saddled with her lout of a husband. She's courageous yet vulnerable and when she stands up to Nicholas, it's priceless. Their ranting and raving at each other is also priceless. Since I'm a ranter and raver myself, I enjoyed reading about their fights.

Even though it probably sounds like I didn't like this book, I did. It was an amusing read with plenty of laugh out loud moments, most of them at Nicholas' expense. Even though he comes across as this domineering, hateful man, half of the book is spent with him trying to please his wife in his own bumbling, misguided way. So he's redeemed in my eyes. He may be a bullying lout, but he was a sweet, desperate in love, bullying lout, so I forgive him. )
Nicholas was robbed his vengeance when his brother in law looked his enemy. When king orders him to marry his enemy just his niece Gillan he swears he will take his vengeance on her.

Gillian whom uncle out her in convent finds her king wants her wedded to Nicholas upon meeting him she see his hatred in his eyes

Will these two then to lovers of will be take his hatred out on his wife

Good book enjoyed and recommend
This second de Laci novel was a great sequel to the first one. I loved reading Nicholas' story and knew he was going to be a tortured character filled with revenge from book 1. Despite his thirst for revenge and his lashing out at everyone around him, Nicholas meets his match in Gillian. It is entertaining to see them go head to head, especially in the bedroom! With all the upheaval in this plot, it definitely held my attention and I found myself very involved with the characters. There was never a dull moment with the emotional roller coaster ride of this tale. I am eager to read more from this author.

On a side note, I loved the cover of this book as the characters looked just how I pictured them!!
I purchased this novel after finishing reading The Devil's Lady by Deborah Simmons several years ago. I re-read it and decided to know what happened to her brother. At first I wasn't so fond of Nicholas De Laci throughout the whole storyline. He is a narrow minded person only thinking on revenge and hating his brother-in-law of killing his enemy. Now that the king has discovered that Hexam has a niece and to end all of the land disputes between both families, they are order to married. Excited about the idea of finally getting his revenge on an innocent girl raised in a convent, he gets a rude awakening.
The heroine, Gillian, is a passionate and is not determined to let anyone put her down. Once married, all she wants is to have a family of her own. The problem is how to seduce her husband into sleeping with her in which was no problem. I loved the end when he acknowledged his feelings for her and they formed a family.
