The Princess by Claire Delacroix is the first in the Bride Quest Series. The three Fitzgavin brothers make us the first three books of the series and then a widow and her daughters make up the remaining three stories in this series. This story begins with the castle being overrun and captured by Gavin for the king of England.  The King and Gavin will allow Brianna to stay if she marries one of Gavin’s sons.  Brianna creates a quest for the Fitzgavin brothers if they are to win her heart and marry her to be the leader of Tullymullagh they must find something that will make her laugh.  Whoever brings the thing that makes her laugh loudest and longest will win her as a wife.  Two of Gavin’s sons ride out on the quest however Luc will have none of this nonsense.  He just wants his father to give him what is owed him from his birth. The story has many twists and turns including 3 funerals and a wedding.  I enjoyed this story and am looking forward to the second book in this series.

Irish medieval mystery

This was a good paced book with plenty of intrigue and just the right amount of romance. I loved all the Scottish books and was not disappointed in this one

The Princess (The Bride Quest Book 1) by Claire Delacroix – It’s an Irish historical romance that twists the fairy tale The Princess Who Never Laughed. Very fun! Happy Reading!

I picked this up on a whim and didn't expect much. I was actually pleasantly surprised. The writing was consistent throughout, as was the characterization. I'm not a huge fan of this flowery type of novel, but this one worked for me. Recommend.
ETA: I am a dumbass and just realized that this is a retelling of a fairy tale. Which gains it an extra star.
