The Bride of Rosecliffe

Rosecliffe Trilogy, Book 1

De: Rexanne Becnel

Narrado por: Marian Hussey

In a time of strife and treachery, an English nobleman dares to fall in love with the rebellious Welsh beauty he has captured in the name of king and country

Exiled to the wilds of northern Wales as part of King Henry I's shrewd efforts to suppress the power of England's noblemen, Randulf FitzHugh prepares for war. He and his army will build a fortress on the ramparts of Rosecliffe, then return to London in triumph.

Josselyn ap Carreg Du loathes the English conquerors who are ravaging her homeland. Yet the only way to vanquish the invaders is to unite her people against them by wedding a cruel Welsh warmonger she despises even more. But when the seductive English noble who leads the assault against the Welsh turns the tables by taking her prisoner, Josselyn becomes a pawn in a political power struggle that can have no true victor.

As hate flames into unexpected desire, uniting two bitterly divided enemies, Josselyn and Rand must battle a far more formidable adversary: their traitorous hearts.

Contains mature themes.

Great Story

Realistic story with great character development. Its a man's world, women and children just try to survive.

Very dramatic

It is well written and well performed but contains an abundance of drama, too much for my liking. It reminds me of Ivanhoe for some reason, probably because of the time period and women weaping over aggressive men that have to do their "duty as men".
