The Beauty Bride in Italian is a FR33 Series Starter!

There are new editions of the Jewels of Kinfairlie available in Italian, and the Italian edition of The Beauty Bride (Un amore da favola) is now a free series starter. Right now, the first three books in the series are available in their new editions – the Italian edition of The Ballad of Rosamunde and of The Renegade’s Heart will be published in new editions in May. The reviews from the previous editions aren’t showing up on these new ones so far, so if you reviewed any of these books in the past, it would be lovely if you could post your review again. 🙂

Un amore da Favola, the Italian translation of The Beauty Bride, a medieval romance by Claire Delacroix

Più preziosi dell’oro sono i Gioielli di Kinfairlie, e solo l’uomo più degno può combattere per ottenere il loro amore…Il Laird di Kinfairlie ha cinque sorelle nubili, ognuna a suo modo una gemma. E lui non ha altra scelta se non quella di trovare loro un marito il più presto possibile.

Il cuore di lady Madeline non è in vendita… Soprattutto per un famigerato fuorilegge come Rhys FitzHenry. Eppure, la sua mano è stata venduta esattamente a quest’uomo, un guerriero stanco di combattere e con una taglia sulla testa. Una fanciulla più docile avrebbe obbedito alla volontà del Laird e accettato in silenzio il proprio destino. Solo che Madeline, che non è mai stata obbediente, decide di scappare, senza neanche immaginare che Rhys possa inseguirla.

Lei non si aspetta che quell’uomo taciturno la corteggi raccontandole storie stravaganti, ognuna delle quali rivelerà le cicatrici che circondano la sua anima. E nemmeno si aspetta che Rhys, pur celando gelosamente i propri sentimenti, possa mettere in pericolo il suo cuore.

Quando il passato di Rhys arriva a minacciare il suo futuro, Madeline decide di credere alla sua innocenza, rischiando la sua stessa vita per abbandonarsi ad una passione più preziosa persino della gemma più rara.

“Un entusiasmante romanzo medievale!”Publishers Weekly

Un amore da favola è un romance storico con una buona dose di avventura, ricco di storie e leggende, un viaggio di una coppia frizzante e appassionata che inizia a conoscersi.”—Maika Medici

Delizioso ed avvincente, questo romanzo scorre facilmente e ci appassiona con tutti i protagonisti, che per non spoilerare troppo ho preferito non nominare. Ognuno di loro gioca un bel ruolo, come dinanzi ad una scacchiera, e vengono mossi i fili giusti per una romantica e magica storia  che porta la firma di una delle più brave scrittrici di romanzi storici e fantasy. Rhys, comunque, resta il mio preferito: come racconta le storie lui… nessuno!“—Il Libro Sel Como’ du Meg

The Christmas Conquest, a Regency romance novella by Claire Delacroix

Love was not part of the plan when this marriage was arranged…

Rhys Bettencourt, Baron Trevelaine, had every intention of avoiding his family’s curse. An arranged marriage to a plain bluestocking of fortune should have ensured the provision of at least one heir. After all, it was beloved Bettencourt wives who always died in childbirth. But practical Catherine undermined her husband’s scheme by stealing his heart. The only way for Rhys to protect her is to deny them both physical satisfaction, against his own desires.


Catherine Carruthers was content to wed for practical considerations and accept an arranged marriage to please her family. Two years later, though, Catherine is certain that her dashing aristocrat of a husband regrets his choice and that her marriage will never be more. She accepts an invitation to Rockmorton Manor for Christmas to decide whether to leave Rhys and return to her father’s house. Upon arrival, though, Catherine discovers pages of sensual advice left in her room—as well as Rhys determined to convince her to stay. Can their marriage be saved?


Armed with information and with little to lose, Catherine embarks upon a campaign of seduction that Rhys is powerless to resist—even as he fears for Catherine’s fate if he surrenders to temptation. Caught between love and the wretched curse, can Rhys find a way to keep his cherished wife safely by his side?

Robbed of his possessions, wounded and left for dead, Quentin de Montgomerie has lost everything except his love for Mhairi, the daughter of the Hawk of Inverfyre—and he knows who is to blame for his fate. He vows to return to Inverfyre and take his vengeance from the Hawk, but arrives to discover that the fierce maiden in possession of his heart has blossomed into a beauty, and that her kiss has the power to give him hope for the future again. Can Quentin prove himself to the Hawk and win Mhairi—or will she spurn him for being less than once he was?

The Snow White Bride, #3 of the Jewels of Kinfairlie series of medieval Scottish romances by Claire Delacroix

The Laird of Kinfairlie has helped his sisters, each a gem in her own right, to find husbands. Now the laird himself seeks to wed, and pins his hopes on The Snow White Bride.

Lady Eleanor knows better than to dream of romance and love. Married twice to secure her father’s alliances, she has learned that she is desirable only for her fortune. When the Laird of Kinfairlie’s sisters ask her to wed their brother, Alexander, Eleanor agrees, expecting only to save herself from danger.

But Alexander is like no man she’s known before, a man more interested in courting her smile than her obedience, a man who values her counsel as much as her newly awakened passion…and a man unaware that Eleanor is the key to a fortune that could ensure the future of everything he holds dear.

Now, ruthless enemies will stop at nothing to secure Eleanor’s capture. Will she dare to trust her new husband before it’s too late for her, for Alexander, and for Kinfairlie?


“Delacroix provides an excellent end to a terrifically captivating series.”

Five star review for The Wolf & the Witch, book 1 of the Blood Brothers series of medieval romances by Claire Delacroix

Even better, book one in the series, The Wolf & the Witch, is discounted to 99cents for the month of July, so you can start the series today.


Denied his rightful legacy, Maximilian de Vries devised a plan to avenge himself upon his father and see his own future secured. Allied with his two half-brothers, he descends upon ancient and mysterious Kilderrick, determined to seize the keep once promised to him, regardless of the price. A woman rumored to be a witch is the sole one bold enough to defy him but Maximilian has a solution—he will take her to wife, whether she be willing or nay, and seal his claim.

But this powerful warrior has yet to match wits with Alys Armstrong, a maiden with a thirst for vengeance and a fury that might exceed his own. Alys has no intention of capitulating to the proud and powerful rogue who stole everything from her—no matter how seductive his touch might be—and she does not share his compulsion to fight fair.

Bitter enemies from the outset, Maximilian and Alys’ match is a battle of wills. When passion flares, will either of them be able to resist temptation? And when Kilderrick itself is in peril, will they join forces to save the holding they each prize—and the unexpected love they value above all else?
