I really liked this story. It is a novella but didn't appear too short. It is well written, Cora and Adam are both like-able characters, you can understand how both feel in this unexpected situation. He is Alpha but also considerate and she appears timid and shy but is a 'hellion'. Some parts really made me laugh.
Book two is out soon and i will definitely read it. ( )

I absolutely loved this story. I'm always cautious not to read books with half naked men on the cover but this was truly a very sweet love story. ( )

The Ward's Bride: Border Series Prequel Novella by Cecelia Mecca is a fantastic Medevial Novella. Prequel to a new series, which promises to be an awesome series. "Border", series. Only a 104 pages of pure deliciousness.

Sir Adam Dayne, an English knight, is offered a prize that can't be refused, by the lordship of Langforful castle. All he must do is accept a betrothal to the Scottish Marcher warden’s eldest daughter, Lady Cora Maxwell, beautiful and fiesty. Only one problem, she hates everything English, including this sexy, handsome Knight. This match will hopefully, keep the peace on the tumultuous Anglo-Scottish border.

Well written with engaging and captivating characters. The storyline is fast paced, intriguing and passionate.

I was glued to the pages, instantly. I read it in one setting. I enjoyed the interaction between Adam and Cora, as their attraction intensifies. But, will they be able to hold the peace, find their HEA, and keep the peace between the English and Scottish border.

Filled with plenty of action, a secret or two, romance, intrigue and love. Ms. Mecca manages to bring this Novella together for an enticing, captivating and seductively intriguing story. I would recommend "The Ward's Bride" for fans of Medevial romance, Border romance, intrigue, and novellas. Great job, Cecelia Mecca! I can't wait to read more of the "Border" series.
