Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-11 00:00:00 larrt easterling 3.5 stars I liked this one okay but it was a little bit busy. Everyone and their cousin was in this book and it was trying to keep up with all the names. Other than the fact that it was a bit of a hot mess it was still an entertaining read.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-16 00:00:00 Richard Jamerson It starts out with a story about a kingdom that gets a ton of gold and then it disappears. The question has always been whether or not the gold went to the Pope, or if only some was sent and the rest hidden. So, it's the mysterious treasure that people have been trying to find for ages. It'll take you about 10 minutes to figure out this treasure mystery. It took them until the last page of the book. Good luck finding me, suckers! This story had a lot going on. There was a bunch of politics, side stories about the villains, Scottish clan wars, and the romance. I didn't mind having a busy story because I am easily bored. It worked out well for my ADD. We have Gabrielle, who is a princess and is marrying some old Scottish laird to keep her safe from the clutches of King John the lech, and a couple of Barons who want her for nefarious reasons. On the way to the wedding, she saves the life of a different Scottish laird's brother and takes him to the monastery where she is staying to get married. She also has four guards, whom we get to know. Her fiance is murdered on his way to the wedding. So, overall, they both had pretty eventful trips to the altar. I have an idea. Let's NOT travel into a hostile wasteland to get married. We'll just go to Vegas. One of the villains lies about her and says she is not a virgin, so the wedding crowd immediately calls for her death and start throwing rocks at her. Tough crowd. She escapes the angry mob and has to marry the injured brother's brother, the laird. But, he's not too thrilled with the arrangement. Until he sees how beautiful she is. Then, he's all: Fooled her. I'm not wearing pants!> With his new fiance comes a whole lotta people who want to get to her, so he has to do a bunch of killing before the wedding. Oh, and there is another chick claiming that she's going to marry him. Whatever, girl! If he liked it, he would have already put a ring on it. There were a few funny moments, and lots of action. The villains were a bit cartoonish, and the treasure thing was pretty lame. But, it was still an enjoyable enough story.
