The Velvet Promise by Jude Deveraux

3.0

I read a lot of Jude Devereaux back in the day and I love a good medieval romance but….I hate books that have the Hero in love with the ow for 95% of the book. Judith is a great fmc bit I swear more than half the book focused on Alice the ow. I’m not interested in all of the minutiae about the ow Alice’s day to day evilness or how beautiful she is etc. …also there were way too many subplots… so much so that the MCs and their story was underdeveloped. Gavin was a douche for most Of the book and I couldn’t help hoping Judith would run away with one of his brothers or Alan the knight.
