To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
A good story, surprisingly I enjoyed it. The love scenes were authentic and quite steamy. I didn’t like the fact the hero had lots of concubines who had children for him. Clashed with my monogamous tendencies personally.
Good writing and à somewhat interesting male lead make up for it. I like that the female has some wits about her, but I found this book on a warrior heroines reading list on good reads and it is not!!! She is very much a damsel and I think is carried throughout more of the book than she walks. Solid writing kept me surging through the book and there were some action scenes but overall I wish I could not have read it and saved myself the time lol
4.0 out of 5 starsA love story set in medieval times.

The Pagan's Prize is hard to put down. Here is a tale of a kingdom torn apart by war. The daughter of the prince on one side was captured by a highly placed warrior for the other side. Their relationship began with hate. The princess tried repeatedly to escape, but was stopped each time. The warrior vowed to never marry, but was ordered to do so by the king. Through much anger, betrayal and misunderstanding, they found they loved each other. This story has a surprising ending. Don't miss this one!
