The Barnes & Noble Review
New York Times–bestselling author Betina Krahn delivers another charming, witty medieval romance in this follow-up to the highly praised The Husband Test. When King Edward demands more ransom following the Battle of Crécy, the Duke of Avalon has nothing left to give -- until he decides to name five young women as his "daughters" to become brides for English nobles. All have grown up at the Convent of the Brides of Virtue, and all have ties to nobility, except for the orphan Chloe. Eager to discover the truth about her parentage, Chloe tricks her way into the bridal party bound for England. Disguised as nuns, the prospective brides are escorted by the handsome but monkish Sir Hugh of Sennet, who considers women a "plague against mankind." But someone keeps on trying to kill the maidens, even in the midst of the "wife test" that Chloe has devised to make sure the women are well paired with the nobles. Readers will love the resourceful, spirited heroine and warm to the reluctant romance that develops between Chloe and Hugh. Ginger Curwen
