Her Bridegroom Bought and Paid For

Brides of Karadok, Book 4

By: Alice Coldbreath

Narrated by: Anne Flosnik

Aimee Ankatel, youngest daughter to the richest merchant in all Karadok, only has eyes for the heavily scarred Lord Kentigern. A ferocious competitor, her heart beats louder when she watches him compete in the field. Not one of the handsome knights of Karadok draws her admiration like he does.

When her father lends funds to the Crown and promises her a glittering match with a nobleman, she daydreams of making the ill-fated knight fall in love with her. After all, if Aimee’s Father buys back Kentigern’s lands and castle for a dowry, surely that would make her an acceptable bride to him?

Any idealistic dreams of youth Kentigern once had were lost long ago in battle, when he was disfigured and blinded in one eye. His destiny was a cruel one, his homelands confiscated for his part in the Northern uprising, he ekes out a lonely nomadic existence, travelling from one tournament to another.

Never would he have dreamed that all he had once lost could be put in his hand again by some upstart merchant wanting a stud and a title for his pretty daughter. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined a reversal of fortune that included a wife like Aimee.

Her Bridegroom Bought and Paid For is a stand-alone novel of over 126,000 words and is set in a medieval style landscape in the fictional kingdom of Karadok. Please do not purchase if you are offended by strong language and or sex scenes.

Loved visiting this world again.

The story felt a bit tell not show. It’s hard to explain but so much happened “off screen”

Another winner

I've been waiting for Kentigern's story, and it did not disappoint (the grump and sunshine trope gives me life). Audiobooks are my primary means of reading books, so I was thrilled when this and the most recent Prizefighter book dropped.

A grumpy sunshine with depth

This is one of my favorite books. I’ve listened to it several times. Amy and Conrad come from two different lands and backgrounds. A lovely and heart warming story about a wounded warrior and a rich girl who must grow as individuals to become a strong couple.

What a joy!

This was a great addition to the series. Both characters will likable in different ways and I really did like getting to know each of them. The intimate scenes were fantastic and I’m a sucker for a dark and misunderstood hero. This will definitely be going in my “easy listening” collection. I look forward to listening again in the future.

Loved this one so very much!

Coldbreath is a jewel! Gorgeous writing, lovable characters, wonderful setting, I loved it all!
