I always love it when there are bits of history.br /br /Lillyth had her home invaded, her father her boorish new husband killed (or so she thought). The exchange of conversation was interesting until Guy, the Norman invader, exclaimed that all women are bitches because she wouldn’t sleep with him (not once, but twice in the novel). I find that quite annoying. What did he expect?? A welcome party with trumpets and willing females??br /br /Guy turned out to be a selfish, inconsiderate man and a bigamist. He already had a wife and 2 kids in France but he married Lillyth anyway. His reasoning was to save her face (yeah, right). When she found out, lost their baby, got angry and refused him (good for her), he has the gall to be angrier than she is.br /br /Until then Lillyth had been a great heroine, but in the last few chapters V Henley pictured her as a trollop who jumped into Guy’s friend’s (Robert) bed and lied to Robert that the baby she’s carrying is his.br /br /I won’t spoil the ending although by now I’m already sick of the hero and heroine. The good thing is there are secondary characters whom love stories are quite interesting.br : pGuy de Montgomery’s army sweeps across the British countryside — and the lovely Lillyth of Godstone Hall despairs as her beloved home falls to the Norman invaders. Yet she is irresistibly drawn to the dashing conqueror whose strength and gentle virility leave her breathless … and force her sensous surrender. But noble Guy is himself love’s helpless prisoner, sworn to protect the proud lady of his desires from the brutality of others. For it is she who is the fairest prize in all England. And though treacherous friend and foe alike rise up to challenge him, Guy will never relinquish this bewitching woman who has enflamed his warrior’s blood with a passion he is powerless to resist./p
