Summary: Pretty good
Review: From back cover:"LADY GENEIEVE. Proud and beautiful, she vowed to save the castle of Edenby through a single, dangerous act of passion- offering her hand in marriage to the invading enemy she despised... LORD TRISTIAN. One of England's most fearsome knights, he realized the Lady was plotting his death. And yet, faced with her enchanting beauty and fiery spirit, he knew he must possess her, at any cost... Theirs was a destiny of love and war, passion and intrigue. Torn by the raging fury of a turblent age, and the searing desires of their own hearts, the Lady and the Knight dared to embrace the most treacherous love of all..." I enjoyed this book. Lady Geneieve tried to kill Tristian one night when she promised to give him sex one night. He was presumed dead, but wasn't, came back from the grave, literally, and held her captive in her own tower. There's a little rape involved, but an enjoyable read.

Summary: Different from her usual...but good
Review: I do admit that this is very different from the other books of hers that I have read and it might not be one her best, but I still enjoyed it. Tristan did treat Genevieve like dirt, but I don't think it was as bad as what I read on the other review of this book. First of all, He did not kill her father and fiance'. They were loyal to different kings and her family died in the battle for her castle, but it was not Tristan that killed them. second, He did slap her when he found out she was pregnant, but that was because she told him that she was gong to get rid of the baby (and no, I don't condone spousal abuse). Third, He did sort of drag her to the alter, but he did not bound and gag her, he just held her with his arms and put his hand over her mouth. I think the book was worth reading, but not in the same league as "Golden Surrender".

Summary: Um- is this supposed to be romantic??
Review: I don't really understand why Shannon Drake insists on writing semi-sadist romances. Yes, rape is a very real thing in the world, but what, exactly, was it that made Genevieve fall in love with Tristian in the first place? It seemed as if the characters just decided that they were in love because it is a romance and they are supposed to be in love. Tristian was so horrible that I wanted to kill him and Genevieve was a moron. I got tired of all the hair pulling and I thought the king was more apealing than Tristian. Really the only thing I enjoyed about this book was the names of the characters- very pretty, but the book was terrible.

Summary: Warning! Several Rape Scenes!
Review: In a nutshell, the hero, Tristan, invades the heroine's home, rapes her, and tells her she doesn't know the meaning of true rape? Okay so he didn't brutalize her but that's supposed to make it okay? And when she finds out she is pregnant and wants to rid herself of the baby, he slaps her. He forces her to marry him when the king threatens to take the home away that Tristan invaded. Later on in the story, he threatens to take away the child when he is mad at her. This guy is the hero? Fifty pages after meeting him, I wanted to jump into the story and kill him. This is not a contemporary novel, but that does not mean that all men in this time period were brutalizing rapists. This is the last time I ever buy anything by this author.

Summary: Awsome
Review: This isn't your usual romance. But it shows the true side of what whould have happened. Yes there's rape, and a treat of abortion. But welcome to the real life. I recommned this book to all who want a little more reality in their romance novels.

Summary: It may not have been the best, but.....
Review: Tristan and Genevieve did have theit little spats, I agree. I wasn't too high on her slap either, but she did suggest getting rid of the baby. Tristan had no choice but to take Edenby as they both served under different Kings. as with all Shannon Drake books, her two star crossed lovers were in great turmoil and it takes all of the 200 hundred and some odd pages to overcome this, but when I think about it, the only reason they were really fighting is because they loved one another! I enjoyed this book and am certainly glad to have it in my collection.

Summary: a mediocre read.
Review: Usually, I am such a big Shannon Drake's fan. However, I can't really enjoy this book. If you ask me what I think of Lord Tristan, I will say he is a biggest sadist. First, he attacked Lady Genevieve's home, Edenby Castle, and caused the death of her father & Fiancé. After he took the castle, he raped her and locked her up to prevent her from escaping. The couple of times, she managed to escape, he would capture her and drag her back to her imprisonment. When he found out she was pregnant, he slapped the hell out of her. After King demanded Lord Tristan to marry the girl, he bounded and gagged her to the altar. Don't mention the fact he loved to coerce her by pulling on her hair. The worst part is Lay Genevieve fell in love with this sadist, which I think is a beginning of an abusive relationship.
