The Golden Apple by Michelle Diener

I had a hard time deciding to review this book b/c it was short and fairly unmemorable.  I think I finished this book in under 12 hours which is one reason it was pretty easy to forget.  I didn't read it so quickly b/c I was that into it.  I read it that quick b/c it was short and not much to it.  There is a little mention of sex in it but nothing gratuitous.  This book has what I like in a plot: an idea of romance, magic, and an unexpected heroine.  But it was short and not very complex in the plot.  I won't say it was bad and I may read the sequel.....if I can get it for free which is how I got the first book.

Amazon description:
Kayla’s world has been turned upside-down . . .
Her father has made her the prize in a deadly, impossible tournament, and Kayla has retaliated in the only way she knows how; by choosing her champion beforehand. But taking control of the outcome changes the game completely, and when the real reason behind the strange test becomes apparent, Kayla realizes not just her life, but her entire kingdom is at stake.
Rane’s honor is torn in two…
In order to save his brother, Rane will do whatever he has to–including deceive and betray a princess. He knew nothing about this tournament would be easy, but when it turns into a deeper, far more sinister game, Rane is forced to see it through to the end, or leave his brother at the mercy of their enemy.
Now their fates are entwined, and they must venture into the deep, dark forest together . . .
Kayla and Rane are bound to one another by an enchantment and Kayla’s actions. But the sorcerer forcing them to do his will may have miscalculated, because no-one comes out of the Great Forest unchanged. No-one.
The Golden Apple is followed by its sequel, The Silver Pear.
