A wonderful read! 5 By Married to a MacDonald I was so entertained and learned much about this time in history. I looked up the words I didn’t have a picture in my mind for and this made the story more rich and vivid! Well done! I must read more...there is much more to this story!

The Crusaders Bride 4 By Lady LeDhea I loved the plot but it is unfinished 😂😂I can imagine what happened when Gaston returned home, but I’m lazy and wanted the author to finish the story for me

The Crusader's Bride 4 By Meht1991 This book was written during the time period of the Knights Templar and their time in the Middle East. It was written from a Crusader's point of view and his being informed that his elder brother had died and he was needed to return home to claim his brothers estate. I really learned a lot about the Templars, which I have always been interested in. The man also needed to find a wife and it follows his endeavors of doing so. I really enjoyed this book. LaMar

"Well researched compelling historical romance" 5 By Lillypadgreen12 In The Crusade's Bride, you get to experience Jerusalem along with the life and thoughts/feelings of how they Templars probably felt during the time of the Crusade's. If you've ever read much about the Templar knights, you are most likely aware of the many mysterious and secretive activities they were involved in and the extent they went through to hide, or secret away, their religious relics for protection. Gaston was one of these barrel hardened knights until he had to return home upon the death of his father. Yasmain was on a personal pilgrimage in an attempt to atone for self inflicted issues that really were beyond what she could control in her life. Claire Delacroix has long been a favorite author of mine because she essentially, puts you in the story. Her descriptions of places and characters always paint such a true to life scenario. There is romance, intrigue, and a touch of history. This is the first of 3 books in th u s series, so I'm off to number 2. Oh I also purchased the audio version of this book, and greatly enjoyed the talented narration by Tim Gerard Reynolds. I can multitask while listening to a great book by Claire Delacroix.

The Crusader's Bride 3 By SisterJD I enjoyed the story and fell in love with the main characters. I'm not a huge history buff so a lot of the historical detail was lost on me as I skipped past it. All in all the story kept me engaged. *Copy gifted by the Publisher in exchange for an honest review

A must read! 5 By Rcarter75 What a great first book in what is sure to be an excellent series. Claire has a way with a tale. Medieval Romance is not usually my forte, butt Claire pulls you in hook line and sinker, making you want to keep on reading. I love the fact that the two main characters start as complete strangers with purposes of their own. The hardships that Ysamine and Gaston face seem completely insurmountable. Can they get through with half truths and come out the otherside with love? You should definitely go find out :) (Disclosure: I received this as an ARC.)
