5.0 out of 5 stars medieval magic, 7 Nov 2000
By A Customer
The young heroine is obliged to wed a "commoner" - David de Abyndon who is a merchant, due to an indiscretion that nearly results in scandal. He has his own agenda - he is a really complex character - cool, intelligent,sometimes devious and the love that emerges between the two overcomes their differences and is as believable as the well-researched historical context. I totally fell for David as a hero - quite apart from being gorgeous he just seemed grown-up - a real man who played the hand he was dealt rather than using a previous bad experience as an excuse to be emotionally stunted like some heroes! I have just ordered this author's next book "By Possession" and am looking forward to getting "By Design" when it comes out in 2001. This book has a slightly harder edge to it then some historicals (the fall of Caen is realistically brutal) but it has strong plotting, good pace, well rounded characters who develop throughout the novel...some toe curling moments, historical realism - basically - its got the lot!!! I loved it and would totally recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Series - Superb Writing, 26 April 2006
By M. Rondeau (West Springfield, MA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: By Arrangement (Mass Market Paperback)
Based on rave reviews I bought my first Madeline Hunter novel BY ARRANGEMENT -- her debut and the first book of her medieval series. I was not disappointed in the least as the series as a whole was fabulous, totally stand-alone yet connected by the main characters. This first book was an invigorating story, extremely well researched, and packed with enough suspense to keep you turning the pages way into the wee hours of the morning.

Lady Christiana Fitzwaryn, a nobly born young woman and ward of the King had been betrothed but not to the handsome Knight of the Realm she believed herself to be in love with. No, horror of horrors, her guardian King Edward III betrothed her to a mere merchant. Though with time she would discover David de Abnydon to be a most unusual merchant!

Christiana was livid -- insulted that her status would be devastatingly lowered by a marriage so beneath her class. Her brother Morvan was also furious, but without wealth, powerless to stop such an unusual arrangement made by his king!

David de Abnydon was an intelligent and very wealthy self-made man. He hadn't planned to marry, but if negotiating a bride, sight unseen was the price to get what he was truly after - so be it! He never thought that with Christiana, he'd be so lucky to have found a treasure in what he initially thought would be a liability!

The author injected a nice bit of intrigue here while this reviewer tried to fathom why the very handsome, very wealthy David de Abnydon would have 'bought' a bride with apparently nothing to gain. Christiana had no dower and the phenomenally high bride price - sight unseen - certainly piqued my interest. Now for a medieval period this was certainly an intriguing and very unusual plot line.

For this reviewer I found this to be a highly imaginative and creative debut that catapulted this author into the spotlight of the leading 'who's who' of the historical romance genre authors. The plot was historically well researched and the level of sensuality in the romance area was superb. Christiana was dealt with realistically. First as the insulted noblewoman, then by the author's deft touch she was gently brought around to realize her great fortune. It was such a joy to see her finally seeing David as the caring, gentle and divine lover, who was more than just a merchant, but a very real, devastatingly handsome and caring man! All the secondary characters as well as the leads were very well fleshed out, their motivations clear and the portrayal of life during medieval period perfectly rendered. When initially released this landed on my 'keeper' shelf to be re-read many times over! Lucky for the romance enthusiast that you now have a chance to snag a copy now that it is being re-issued. VERY highly recommended.
