Book Review: The Outsider by Sherrilyn Kenyon

I jumped right into The Outsider the moment I downloaded it. I’ll admit it. I’ve been devouring the Brotherhood of the Sword series as each book was available. This wonderful series is a rerelease, originally published under Ms. Kenyon’s pseudonym, Kinley MacGregor.

The Outsider, like its predecessors, is well-crafted and filled with emotion and romance. This time, we follow Adara and Christian (and a few secondary characters who left a strong impression) as they adapt to and overcome intriguing challenges.

Although this is the 6th book of The Brotherhood of the Sword, it stands well on its own. (Although I highly recommend reading the entire series.)

From Goodreads:

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon, The Outsider is a sweeping medieval historical romance about a queen fighting for her crown, a tormented warrior sworn to no one but a secret brotherhood, and a childhood marriage that binds them across the years.

To save her crown, she must claim the husband she barely knows.

Fiercely devoted to her people and her land, Queen Adara will not let a power-mad usurper steal her throne. But the only way to hold what is hers is to seek out the man she was wed to in childhood—and demand he stand at her side.

Christian of Acre, a proud and haunted warrior, owes allegiance to nothing but the mysterious Brotherhood, and has no wish to rule over anyone but himself. Then a bold, beautiful stranger appears in his rooms, tempting him with an irresistible seduction and asking the return with her to their kingdoms, or at the very least give her an heir to her throne.

He cannot leave so regal and brave a lady to her enemies. Yet Christian dares not surrender to the desire she stirs—even as the passion between them lays claim to them both.

Perfect for readers who
– Medieval romance and secret warrior brotherhoods
– A warrior queen and a reluctant, tormented king
– Sweeping, sensual, marriage-bound historical romance
– Duty, desire, and a crown worth fighting for

Previously published under her alter ego Kinley MacGregor, these beloved medieval romances from #1 New York Times bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon return—retitled, refreshed, and restored to the author’s original vision.
