“All the knights had heard tales of Lady Murie, King Edward III’s goddaughter and much feted favorite. It was said she was stunningly beautiful, with bright blue eyes, golden hair and a sweet smile. It was also said that the king had doted on the girl and spoiled her rotten. Despite his need, when Sir Balan saw her howling and sobbing, Murie was the last person he wanted to wed..THE BRAT? But all that glitters is not gold, and sometimes diamonds look very, very rough. There was more to Murie than met the eye, and Balan soon learned that he’d be lucky indeed to deserve such a bride. Yet he was not the only one to discern the truth, and the other hopeful hubby was not quite as honorable. A plot was afoot. Soon would come a reckoning, a time to show who was chivalrous, who was a cad…and who had won the love of a heart unspoiled.”

“Cute, until the very end when they blew the King and Queen of England off. That "blew: they story for me. It was a good "Who done it?" but I felt the ending was unbelievable. There is no way, no matter who you were to the Royal Family, that you would dismiss them on your door step.”

“4.5 stars. While it is not historically acurate it is a delightful story. Balan and Murie have a hilarious courtship most of which happens after their wedding. The mystery is a light and intriguing aspect of the story that sets up some of the funniest scenes. Lady Murie developed the persona of being a brat to help her survive at King Edward III's court. But this is far from the true nature of the tender-hearted young woman. There are several scenes between Murie and Balan's younger sister Juliana that are very touching.”

“Een verhaal dat gemakkelijk wegleest, grappig hoe Murie zo door kan draaien in haar bijgeloof.

Balan is een lekker ding, en ik vind z'n zusje ook wel een lieverdje.
Gewoon een luchtig boek, dat leest als een trein!
Beoordeling: 8”
“This was a cute story, funny at times. The king's goddaughter needs to wed, is told she may choose whomever she likes. The knight she chooses is prey for someone who is trying to kill him and nearly kills Murie, too. A good love story is entwined in this tale.”
