Synopsis (Goodreads):

Sixteen years ago, Princess Halla of Yshrem saved the life of an eight-year-old barbarian boy and watched her kingdom fall to ruin, all on the same day. Now, she is a forgotten spinster in a quiet temple, living her days out in solitude. The last of her line, she exists in the hope that she has been forgotten, for to be remembered by the enemy is to be certain death.

One person has not forgotten her. Mathior, now twenty-four, is the fierce warrior king of the Cyclopae. Yshrem is in turmoil and his advisors have a suggestion - kill the last remaining member of the royal line, and there will be no rivals for the throne.

Mathior has a different idea. He's loved Halla for sixteen long years, and it's time he claimed her as his wife. But a barbarian's wedding customs are unlike any other...

Thoughts on The King's Spinster Bride: Oh, geez. Halla and Mathior are kinda adorable together. I mean, she's been in virtual exile for the past sixteen years and was pretty sheltered before that and so is fairly innocent about sexy times. Whereas, Mathior has been driving himself to become the best Cyclopae warrior so he can FINALLY claim Halla as his, but there's still something refreshingly innocent about him.

Maybe it's how driven he's been to find a way to make him and Halla happen. I don't know, it just works for me.

As for those Cyclopae wedding customs, Halla's in for a bit of a shock. Because they're VERY different from how her people celebrate weddings.

I liked Mathior's drive. I liked how Halla had to overcome her belief that she was too old for someone like him. I liked how Mathior was determined to prove how much he cared no matter what. Heck, I just LIKED this book. It was fun and sweet and sexy all at the same time.
