Book Description

30 Jun 2001
A captivating new writer at an irresistible price

Critically acclaimed as "one of the brightest new writers in the genre," (Publishers Weekly) Madeline Hunter has taken the world of historical romance by storm with her sensually powerful novels that feature strong heroines, provocative heroes, and timeless passion. Now this hugely talented author offers us a new tale filled with her trademark blend of danger, adventure, and sizzling seduction.

The first time he laid eyes on her she had come to his rescue with a sword in her hand. Still Morvan Fitzwaryn had never seen any woman who aroused his interest and his passion more than the unconventional Breton warrior beauty. Anna de Leon took him into her castle and nursed him back to health, little knowing the spark of desire she was feeding with her caring ministrations. It wasn't long before Morvan had vowed to protect and conquer this unconquerable woman with all the sensual weapons at his disposal.

For her part, Anna de Leon had no interest in men as lovers or husbands. She was used to commanding men in battle. But she suddenly had the strange feeling that her well-fortified defenses could be breached by this dark-eyed, smolderingly handsome English knight. When her castle is besieged by an old enemy who claims both her and her lands, Anna finds she has no choice but to accept Morvan's aid — even if the enemy outside her walls is no match for the ally within, who with every tantalizing kiss and forbidden embrace threatens to make her a prisoner of her own fiery passion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Raging clashes for the protector-role! 5 Jun 2005
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Madeline Hunter's skill for the understatement of emotions to emphasise the depth and intensity of them is superb. The complete lack of "flowery language" in depicting the hardship and joys of the main characters makes for compelling reading. Once again rich in historical detail, this novel pleases with an even paced and well-crafted plot. Anna nurses Morvan through the 'Black Death' and this creates a tense awareness between them. Morvan swears to protect and help her to secure her holdings and people. Anna enjoys an unconventional independence, for the time-period, that she vows to uphold against all odds. She needs Morvan's assistance to conquer an old enemy, little realising that she is besieged from inside as well as outside the castles walls - the former siege being Morvan's desire to claim the lady as his own. The clashes between Morvan and Anna take them from Breton to England and back again, interwoven with an irresistible and sensual passion. They strategise and re-strategise before they manage to forge an understanding of the interchangeable protector-role that moulds and strengthens their love. The reader found it particularly satisfying that the author managed to spin this tale of clashing wills and a fight for independence, within the framework of a deepening love, without demeaning the strength and free-spiritedness of either of the characters. Madeline Hunter is a writer that hugely benefits the genre of historical romance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great read! 20 Mar 2010
By Loupop
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As I expected from Madeline Hunter, yet another great read. As ever Ms Hunter creates engaging characters set against a rich historical background with a compelling and ultimately fulfilling storyline. Morvan and Anna are a well matched pair and as ever the brief glimpse of David and Christiana from 'By Arrangement' is always welcome.

As always, I look forward the next book as soon as put down the previous one in the case of all Madeline Hunter's novels so far. A consistently strong romance writer whom I can't recommend highly enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best of her work, but a good read 21 Nov 2001
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This hero of this book is the brother of the heroine in By Arrangement, so you have a little 'catch up' with the 'happy-ever-after'. The politics of Brittany don't get in the way of a reasonable story, although the heroine gets a bit too annoying, and rescue of our hero at the end is a little .. strange ..
I found By Design a better book, but I'm not about to throw this one to the charity shops..
