5 Smooches!

Synopsis

In a bold political move, Sir Branford claims a handmaid as his bride instead of the expected princess in an attempt to spark a war. Poor Alexandra knows little of how to behave as the wife of a future king and knows nothing of the man who is suddenly her husband.

Alexandra knows she is being used as a pawn and must do her best to avoid scheming noblewomen and the scorned princess, accept her position as her husband ascends to the throne, and overcome her fears of the man with whom she now shares a bed.

Sir Branford is determined to have it all – the kingdom, a wife of his choosing, and the revenge he seeks for the death of his father. He doesn’t expect the naïve handmaid to become more important than he ever could have foreseen.

Review

Once upon a time a long long time ago I went to my first book signing and there was this lady there with crazy colored hair and she was all like I wrote a romance about a caveman and you should totally read it and I was like uh, I’ll pick it up on kindle and give it a try.  And then I went home and got said book.  But it took me forever to read it. When I finally got around to reading that book I could not put it down.  Transcendence was one of the best books I have ever read.  It was so original and I decided then and there to read all of the Shay Savage books ever written and I pretty much did.  Moral of the story is:  get every damn book signed, ALWAYS!  I am still kicking my own butt over not getting Ms. Savage to sign all of the books, especially that epically awesome caveman book.  So anyhow, I haven’t read a historical romance in a long while but I do enjoy them and when I saw this one from an author that I know I can trust to deliver an epic love story I snatched this bad boy up.  Well, and also look at that sexy historical bodice ripping cover.  I am absolutely in love with it and I am happy to report that I am in love with first installment of the Unexpected Circumstances, The Handmaid.  My understanding is that this is a serial and there will be several small installments but the first one was fantastic.  We get to meet Alexandra, the handmaid, and Sir Brandford, the heir to the throne of another land.  Sir Brandford is brave and bold and he whisks Alexandra the meek handmaid right off her feet.  The sexual tension is off the charts with these two and I cannot wait to see what is coming next for them and these two kingdoms.  A great beginning to an action filled, sexually heated historical romance.  I am very anxious for the next installment, The Seduction.
