Short and Interesting
This was an interesting book. It's a dystopian book in that it takes place after some disaster and now the noble populace is having trouble building up their numbers again. Hence the need for Bed Wives. But now we get medieval. Bed Wives are nothing more than the nobles taking the Droit de Seigneur one big step further. Instead of just giving the women a surrogate wedding night, they make the women their concubines so that they can provide the nobles with children throughout their lives. Of course, the nobles only marry other nobles. Our heroine, Luana, the town drunk's daughter, was childhood friends with Prince Baylin, the future King. She becomes his Bed Wife and both of them have to deal with duty versus desire and the responsibilities that come with adulthood, hoping that at least their friendship can survive. The book has an overall medieval feel, but with outside circumstances that were caused by something that was definitely other than medieval. The book is short and the first of a series so I'm looking forward to how the rest of it will play out. Definitely piqued my interest! *I was given a free copy of this audiobook and have voluntarily left my honest review*

The Bed Wife
I love The Bed Wife; it was intriguing! There were times when I was frustrated with Luana, but I understood why she felt the way she did. Baylin was noble and caring, which had me rooting for this couple to survive whatever they were going to have to face. The narration was good, not great, but since the story was excellent, I could overlook some of the flaws in the narration.
