The King's Pleasure

Rating:
Summary: Save you money.
Review: This was the very first romance novel I had ever read and the only Shannon Drake book I have ever read. But I'm not saying there is something wrong with her writing...because I thought this book was great!

I have probably read this book about 5 times; that's how much I like it. I love the way they speak. Like using words such as 'alas' and..okay, for some reason I can't think of another example. It's just that they talk so different.

The fighting scenes between Danielle and Adrien are great. Especially the archery and sword fight! I also liked how the book began before Danielle was born. It helps you to understand why the characters turn out the way they do later in the book.

The only things I didn't like about this book were the long battle scenes. Those were sooo boring! I also didn't like how Danielle was so stubborn. The book could've ended about a hundred pages earlier if it wasn't for her. I don't think there's another person that's more stubborn than she is. If I was in the same situation, I would've said 'to heck with the vow.' I mean, she had a gorgeous, sexy husband. Why put more bridges between them by acting that way.

The ending could've been a little better I thought. It was kinda corny. And I didn't quite understand how 'the king's pleasure' fit into it all. But I thought the book was really great and I recommend it to everyone. Some parts might be on the boring side but the rest of the book makes up for that!

Summary: This book was excellent with a fast-paced plot &sensuality!
Review: When I bought this book I was a little skeptical but since I had previously read some of Shannons books I decided to give it a try and boy was I glad that I did. It had a story line that continued to grip you until the end and buckets of sexual tension! I would definitely recommend this one to a friend!
