A Headstrong Lady, A Battle-torn Knight, And A Lesson In Temptation!
Twice wed and twice widowed, Lady Caterine Keith has no need for a champion. She can fend off unwanted suitors on her own and guard her Scottish stronghold without the help of any man. But her sister, knowing better, sends a make-believe husband - a knight with a battle-scarred face almost too frightening to behold. Sir Marmaduke Strongbow has a secret ambition. He wants not Caterine's land but her hand in marriage and her heart to own. With tantalizing caresses, he will show her how a real champion lays siege ... and how love is impossible to fight.

April 17, 2005: Sir Marmaduke Strongbow , what endears this character of Scottish tale of love to us, is his scar marring his noble features. The scar runs from his eye to the corner of his mouth. This makes his one eye appear blind, though the eye really is gone. This gives Maramduke a grimacing, if not scary appearance, at times. He received his scar in a rage induced sword fight with Duncan MacKenzie's evil half brother, who poisoned Marmaduke's wife (Duncan MacKenzie's sister), killing her. Marmaduke is now asked by Lady Linnet MacKenzie, sister to Lady Caterine Keith to become Caterine`s champion and pretend to be her husband. Lady Caterine Keith whose husband was murdered and she, violently raped repeatedly by a group of English warriors. Caterine now can not stand the sound, much less the sight, of any Englishman. Because Caterine is without a husband, the hatefully Sir Hugh is trying to step-in and force her hand in marriage. This is why Sir Marmaduke must become her champion. With both their troubled pasts, they will struggle to overcome their demons and mistrust to find that love desired, is found. You will fall in love with the charming silver tongued devil, in more ways than one, (*G*). His courage and honor is second to none. You will find yourself routing for this scarred brute of a man, with each turn of a page, that is... BRIDE OF THE BEAST...

April 01, 2005: Based on the description I thought the book would be better. I could barly keep awake reading it. The men are wierd and the women are childish. The plot-line stinks and it was just plain boring. I wouldn't recomend this book to anyone.
