1. It’s more than a romance

War bride Elise Marion’s is primarily a romance, but it is much more than a love story. The book covers many social issues today, even though it is a medieval fantasy romance.. Lady Emery Calliot fights for equal rights as a woman in a misogynistic world. Leofred mourns the death of his brother. They both have PTSD due to a recent brutal conflict between their kingdoms that almost escalated into a devastating war. Although this book is a lot of fun to read, no one can call it a piece of fluff.

2. It is a diverse book

All you have to do is look at the romantic covers at your local bookstore to know that there is very little diversity in the main characters. Most of them are heterosexual caucalises. Other ethnicities are even often segregated from the conventional romance on the shelves. They could be under the label “African American and Multicultural Romance Novels” if they are available.

Elise Marion fights for diversity with every book she writes, and War bride is no exception. The two main cultures, Dinasdalians and Dalerians, in history are fully developed and different in every way, although the people who belong to both are equally good. Different skin colors are just one difference between Dinasdalians and Dalerians. But luckily Leofred and Emery can overlook cultural differences and skin color to fall in love.

3). It is an independent novel

War bride is part of Chained world. The two main books in this series are Chained and bound. And while these books are equally excellent, you can’t read one without the other. objective War bride It is a complete love story with a final ending. It will satisfy you, without having to struggle to get the next book.

4) Emery really is a strong woman

Too many times I pick up a romance novel with a “strong” heroine only to find that they are really goofy or grumpy all the time. Throwing a good insult does not make a woman strong. However, Emery can do a lot more than just give a good tease.

Despite being raised to be a noble lady, Emery always had a wild spirit. He would have preferred to become a gentleman rather than learn to embroider, but he was forbidden to do so. That didn’t stop him from learning to use a dagger and a bow and arrow.

He can use a bow and arrow as well as any man, and he is not afraid of violence. He swiftly launches into battle when necessary and comes up with cunning plans of attack to take down the rogues.

Do you sometimes exasperate Leofred? Safe. But no one can say that Emery is not strong.

5) Leofred is a great husband

It is very rare to find a love interest as great as Leofred. He’s not perfect by any means, and he doesn’t get cheesy, but his love for Emery is so evident in just about everything he thinks and does. He is patient with her as she tries to hold him at arm’s length and gently breaks down her barriers and erases her fears and doubts.

Even though he did not want an arranged marriage with a stranger and is often upset with Emery, he is always trying to make his marriage happy and to make Emery happy. It is clear that he would do anything for her.

He’s definitely one of the best love interests and it’s a crime to lose him.
