The Warrior's Bride Prize is written by Jenni Fletcher and published by Mills & Boon ((Historical). This is a Roman romance set in Roman England around Hadrian's Wall. Liva Valeria, part Caledonian (slave) part Roman, and her little daughter Julia travel to a Roman outpost, Coria, near Hadrian's wall so she can be married to Lucius Scaevola as arranged by her step brother. Unfortunately Tarquinius hadn't told her intended that she had a daughter, or that her hair is red, a sure sign that she is at least partly Caledonian. He gambles her away in a card game to Marius Varro, a Roman centurion and they are married. When Marius is posted to Cilurnum Liva goes with him but has to choose when the fortress comes under attack from Caledonians.
This is Jenni Fletcher's first foray into Roman romance and I really enjoyed it. I read the book in one sitting and the time flew when I was reading it! There is just the right combination of history and romance and they compliment each other perfectly. I hope she writes more novels from this period in history.
I received this book via Netgalley and Mills and Boon in exchange for a honest review. I am a #MillsAndBoonInsider #netgalley
