He captured her legacy then he captured her heart.
Rogue Welsh knight Rhys ap Owain disguises himself as a wandering minstrel and arrives at Rosecliffe Castle to reclaim his birthright and take vengeance on his hated enemy. And Isolde Fitz Hugh will be his pawn. With Isolde's father away, Rhys plans to seize Rosecliffe and his enemy's daughter, striking a mortal blow that is decades overdue. He has everything planned for his siege-- yet he is unprepared for the desire his beautiful hostage will ignite in him...
A stranger lit the fire buried deep within her, yet it is her dire enemy who reveals himself to Isolde in the throes of first passion. How she loathes him, Rhys ap Owain, the man who has brought her such aching pleasure. He used her innocence and desire to gain his stronghold in a plot to extract vengeance upon her family. Yet neither his revenge nor her hatred is a match for the unexpected passion that will force them to confront a destiny much greater than either could ever imagine...

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful well-written end of the "Rosecliffe Trilogy" 29 July 2002
By ambersaxon696
Format:Mass Market Paperback
"The Mistress of Rosecliffe" is the third and last in Rexanne Becnel's Rosecliffe Trilogy.The story is set in 12th century Wales and Ms Becnel describes the time period very well. All three books are well written with interesting and exciting actions and they keep the reader turning the pages with enjoyment.This last book of the trilogy shows the reader that love can be born everywhere especially between two enemies.
Isolde Fitz Hugh is the beautiful daughter of Rosecliffe Castle's English lord Randulf Fitz Hugh and his Welsh wife Josselyn ap Carreg Du.Rhys ap Owain is a warrior Welsh knight and Isolde's enemy. The young couple hated each other since their childhood until their hate changed into love. They are both strong, well developed, intelligent characters. The reader feels that they are there with them witnessing their confrontations, fights and growing love for each other. Both are loyal to their families and to their people. Ms. Becnel shows in this book and in the whole trilogy how understanding, how generouos and compassionate love can be.
I liked very much all the main characters and that many characters from the first and second book kept appearing in the third one as well. Randulf Fitz Hugh and his wife Josselyn ap Carreg Du, Jasper Fitz Hugh and his wife Rhonwen ap Tomas and Devlin the Welsh bard.
"The Rosecliffe Trilogy" is a wonderful medieval story based on the confrontations between the English and the Welsh. Ms.Becnel makes us realise that hate and different political opinions between two nations can be solved by love and understanding.I highly recommend to this trilogy to fans of historical romance. You will find it wonderful and very enjoyable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book in the series 28 Sep 2009
A Kid's Review
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I totally loved this book, it is certainly the best in the Rosecliffe series. The characters are very compelling and well written and the plot goes along at a good pace. The hero Rhys is the strong brooding type which is always good in romance novels and the heroine is feisty and takes no nonsense from the rebel Rhys. If you like medieval romance books then this is for you. It reminded me of the velvet series by Jude Deveraux and the song series of books by Catherine Coulter.

5.0 out of 5 stars She knows how to write mesmerizing historicals 7 Mar 2000
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In 1154 Wales, while the English Lord of Rosecliffe, Randolf Fitz Hugh, is away, Rhys ap Owain enters Rosecliffe Castle disguised as a minstrel. Rhys plans to regain what was lost decades ago to the English by seizing the castle and holding Randolf's daughter Isolde hostage.

Rhys' plan of vengeance is perfect except for one nagging problem. His heart beats louder when he confronts the beautiful and feisty Isolde. To her amazement, she finds herself falling in love with her family's sworn enemy. Though her father has promised her to some London nobleman, Isolde wants Rhys. However, years of mistrust and ethnic hatred make any permanent relationship seem not only remote, but also down right dangerous.

THE MISTRESS OF ROSECLIFFE, the third tale the "Rosecliffe" trilogy (see THE BRIDE OF ROSECLIFFE and THE KNIGHT OF ROSECLIFFE) is a stirring medieval romance. The story line is exciting, filled with non-stop action and romance, and tidbits from history. The lead couple is dynamic as they struggle between their heritage and their love. Ms. Becnel makes the twelfth century seem like her personal playground as she provides her audience with a vivid well-written tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving and sexy 30 Mar 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I enjoyed this book enormously. I thought Rhys was a fabulousdepiction of a man struggling with duty to his country, an urge forrevenge, and a desire to find love. Isolde is a heroine who grows up when she's forced to defend her family and her home. Their romance was moving, emotional, and sexy beyond belief. You won't want to miss this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly her best book: 5 Jun 2003
By SusieQ - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the third part of a trilogy of romances, but stands alone on its merits (you don't have to read the first two parts, although doing so will give you more insight into the hero, Rhys's, character).

Rhys really grew up during the course of the book; we see him mature and change from someone committed to revolt, and who's hanging onto the pain of his past, into someone capable of loving and committing to a woman who by rights would be his enemy. The heroine, Isolde, is a little less well-drawn (she's a little shallow intially, and spoiled) but not totally to the detriment of the story. She matures and changes too, although not so drastically as Rhys does. I liked the fact that the story is centered around the changes that the two individuals, Rhys and Isolde, are undergoing. The author's spotlight on the two characters; their inner thoughts and doubts, etc., makes the love story that much stronger. It's a very sensual romance, also --always a good thing!
