Aimee is the younger daughter of a very wealthy merchant who falls in love with scarred knight Kentigern. It's sort of a reverse Beauty and the Beast story, a trope I love. But here Aimee is very young and naive so she makes a lot of mistakes wooing her knight who feels 'bought and paid for.' While I enjoyed the book, I thought the conflict between the two dragged on too long and was a bit too soap opera for my tastes. It isn't my favorite book of the series but it's fine and we get to see our other couples from the series. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

********************
Original review:
Aimee is a beloved daughter of a wealthy merchant. While she is watching a tournament with her sister, she sees Lord Kentigern (Konrad) competing and convinces herself that she's in love with him. She persuades her father to offer Konrad a huge dowry to induce him to marry her.
Konrad was on the losing side of a war that ended almost a decade ago. He has serious scars on his face from a battle and his family lost almost everything. Since the war, he mostly keeps to himself and he doesn't have any close relationships. When Aimee's father offers Konrad back what his family lost in the war, Konrad agrees. He thinks that Aimee and her father just want him for his title, so he is dismissive and thoughtless to her, which hurts her greatly.
I love this book, and I love Aimee and Konrad as individuals and as a couple. Even though they sometimes messed up (especially Konrad), nothing done was unforgivable and the reasoning behind their actions was at least somewhat understandable. ( )
