Eleanor and the Iron King

Eleanor and the Iron King
by Julie Daines
Covenant Communications Inc., 2015, 202 pgs. Romance

 Eleanor de Lacy, daughter of an English earl, has been bartered as a bride to the enemy in exchange for peace. Eleanor knows little about her husband-to-be, the Welsh king Brach Goch, only that he is a ruthless leader responsible for attacks on her people and the death of her beloved brother. Once she reaches the Welsh king’s castle, she receives ominous warnings from a terrifying ghost: Brach cannot be trusted. However she begins to realize all is not as it seems, and finds herself in the middle of a web of deceit. She must decide who to trust, and who to love.

 Honestly I found the character development to be rather wanting, but I feel like it helps establish this book as a light read. The encounters with the ghost kept things interesting and helped move the plot. I also really enjoyed the Welsh setting. This book would be great for someone looking for a clean romance, or a casual read that won’t demand much thought to enjoy.
