"a highly intensified novel"
Malik is the future King of Ulan, and Adrienne is just a
college student, but Adrienne appears to be much more than
she knows. She's also Malik's bride. Hundreds of years
ago, a spell was cast over Malik's family so that they
would be able to find their brides, and thus, continue
their blood-line. So Malik has traveled through
dimensions, literally, to claim his bride, and lucky for
Adrienne, he claims her just in time... One night as Adrienne is leaving school, getting ready to
head home for a much needed Spring Break, she's ambushed by
two men. One of whom is infuriated with Adrienne for, in a
sense, having him expelled his senior year of college. He
and his friend have decided to show Adrienne just how "big
and bad" they can truly be by attempting to have their way
with her on campus. Just as Adrienne is thinking they're
going to win, Malik steps out of his portal and saves her...
by killing them! After that night, Malik whisks Adrienne off, and the next
morning she awakens to find herself in Ulan. From there
Malik tries to explain their destiny, but Adrienne is
having none of it. Then, she starts to realize that some
of the feelings she has are not her own, but rather
Malik's, yet another confusing aspect of this whole new
lifestyle for Adrienne. As it turns out, as a destined
pair they are able to feel each other's feelings, but none
of what Malik has to say, or how Adrienne is feeling makes
her want to stay in Ulan... Malik then informs Adrienne that she is no longer on Earth,
but rather, on Bron. Bron is still in the same solar
system, and is still the third planet, and in Bron lays
Ulan. They have different days, months, and years, as well
as magick! He then explains to Adrienne the history of
Bron, and just how she is to be his bride. It is 3 months
until Malik's 25th birthday, at which time he MUST be
married or forfeit the throne. After hearing all of this,
it is up to Adrienne as to whether or not she will marry
him willingly or unwillingly, because either way Malik will
have her. D. Renee Bagby has written a highly intensified novel. You
can truly relate to the characters, and more importantly to
their emotions. All of the emotions in the novel, in my
opinion, truly help to make Adrienne as great as it is.
When Adrienne is feeling sad, you really want to reach out
for her, and when Malik is laughing or feeling amused, you
know exactly why and want to laugh along with him. With
Adrienne being a college student from our world, it is much
easier to relate to the country of Ulan, and what she is
thinking and feeling, as she is there. Unlike other time
travels, we, the reader, can actually and more
realistically place ourselves into Adrienne's shoes. She
is living the fact that she is no longer here on our Earth
and can do nothing about it. The novel also flowed
absolutely wonderful, and you just have to continue reading
to see just where these two will go, as well as what is on
the next page.
Warning: sex scenes, nothing too erotic
