Product Description
No woman alive could resist his tantalizing seduction....
Celebrated as “one of the brightest new writers in the genre” (Publishers Weekly), Madeline Hunter has won the hearts of readers with the poignant passion of her love stories and the brilliance of her writing. Now this nationally bestselling, award-winning author delivers her freshest, most tantalizing romance yet...
Called the Lord of a Thousand Nights, Ian of Guilford was famed as much for his feats in the bedroom as on the battlefield. But Lady Reyna Graham had no idea of this when, disguised as a courtesan, she passed behind enemy lines with a desperate plan to save her people.
Now, sitting in the tent of the dizzyingly handsome warrior who commanded the army outside her gates, the beautiful widow suddenly realized that she had underestimated her foe.
For she found herself in the company of a man whose charms were said to be impossible to resist...and who would show no mercy in laying siege to her heart—and body—with every sensual weapon in his arsenal.
For the sake of her people, she must not give in ... and she must somehow turn this legendary lover who never lost his heart into a man who would exchange all his thousand nights for one with her....

Lady Reyna, a beautiful, young Scottish widow, disguises herself as a courtesan in an attempt to relieve the military siege on her keep, and the danger to her people. She crosses the English battle lines and enters the enemy camp with the intention of seducing the commander and then murdering him...a medieval Judith and Holofernes, if you will. He is very experienced in the ways of courtesans and it becomes obvious that Reyna is a novice at seduction...although very tempting. So, the Lady is captured and the keep is taken. Fortunately, the takers are the good guys.
Ian Guilford, the Commander, is an English mercenary, known for his way with the ladies and his feats in the bedroom. (Lord Of A Thousand Nights...right?) He is fascinated by Reyna, who is not captivated in return. Maybe that's why he is so taken with her? She has a mysterious past which intrigues him. Her much older husband died recently, supposedly poisoned. Rumor has it that Reyna is the prime suspect, as the sole inheritor of his land and wealth. She was married at age twelve to consolidate an alliance that would bring peace to the region. Fortunately, her early marriage enabled her to leave her abusive father and half brother. She loved her husband, who became her teacher, best friend and a father figure. If Reyna did not kill him, who did? And why? Now that she is a widow, her estranged father wants Reyna back. Other people are looking to protect her and/or to take her into their custody also. And Ian doesn't want to let her go.
Madeline Hunter, as always, writes with clarity and elegance. Her grasp of history and her original plots have made her one of my favorite Historical Romance authors. I was not aware that this novel is a sequel, or related to any of her other books, until I began to recognize some familiar characters. It was wonderful to read more about Christiana and David from "By Arrangement" and Anna and Morvan from "The Protector." However, "Lord of A Thousand Nights" stands on its own merit. It is not necessary to have read any of Ms. Hunt's prior novels to enjoy this one.
I think this book is actually better than some of her earlier work because of the complexity of the storyline, and the variety of characters. Both Reyna and Ian have dark pasts and many problems to overcome. They make an interesting couple, very well suited. I think Madeline Hunter has another winner and look forward to her next book. I'm a fan!

As an avid historical fiction reader, I've read hundreds - truly hundreds - of books. Madeline Hunter is one of my favourite writers in this genre. I've read fifteen of her books so far, and have yet to be disappointed. Not only can this lady weave a love story around a clever and feisty plot, she does it without (very often) falling into the 'lazy romance writers' habit of using modern Americanisms in narrative or dialogue. You know, words like: I guess or I figure, instead of I suppose or I think; quit, instead of give in/up or stop; England doesn't have a 'Fall', Autumn occurs instead.... etc. etc.
In Lord of a Thousand Nights we are reintroduced to Ian of Guilford, who we first met in The Protector. Ian's a Knight come to claim the castle and lands of Black Lyne Keep for his leige lord, Morvan. In the process of laying siege to the castle he meets the Lady Reyna. She is the widow of the most recent lord of Black Lyne Keep - Robert of Kelso, and suspected of poisoning and killing him.
The book revolves around the battle of wills and wits entered into by Reyna and Ian as their relationship evolves. While that shennanigans goes on there's also the mystery of Roberts death and origin to be solved if Ian is to save Reyna from standing trial. All in all, there's plenty of action, lots of passion, and enough Reyna mischief to lighten the tension of unknown evil. Altogether a very enjoyable read.
If you're new to Madeline's books, I'd suggest reading the two predecessors to ths: By Arrangement then The Protector and then this one.
