Summary: The most compelling romance ever
Review: I feel that this book has talent and emotion all in one. I have read it at least 15 times, and every time it is like I have never read it before. I loved how Virginia has captured truth, and other fantisy in this book. Everthing from Robin Hood, to King John, and Young Arthur. The wemon in the book are wemon who could survive in todays world, with their firery tempers, and their sence of independence. I think any woman can agree that Falcon de Burgh could make any woman act the way Jasmine, Morganna, and the Countess of Warwick did. I recomend this book to anyone.

Summary: Very good, but a bit aggravating
Review: I have read several Henley books. I loved The Marriage Prize. As with that book, this one contained wonderful, fascinating historical facts and a story that I couldn't put down. My only complaint was that Jasmine was so unlikeable. As another reviewer said, she was a spoiled brat and I had very little sympathy for her. If you can put up with a herione like that, the book was well-written and the story comes to a satisfying ending.

Summary: Is this really a Henley????
Review: I have read several of Virginia Henley books and loved them, so I was quite surprised by how much I did not like this one. In fact I had to force myself to finish the book. I only gave it 2 stars based on the historic information and the fact that I have in the past enjoyed her books. And there is the fact that I have visited several locations mentioned in the book.I have read the other book in this series and loved them, in fact kept them on my shelf. The characters in this book were so hard to like. Especially Jasmine. What a little brat. Here she had a man that cared for her despite all of her faults. Her headstrong ways kept getting her into trouble and she kept hoping for Falcon to come to her rescue. Of course each time he came to her rescue what thanks did he get? More spoiled, selfish, and nasty attitude. In fact he probably should of just let her get a taste of what she deserved! Don't let this one book put you off Virginia Henley. If you want to read a good book by her check out "A Year and A Day" or "A Woman of Passion", and "The Marriage Prize". These books are worth the effort in reading.

Summary: Historical and romantic
Review: I love Virginia Henley's love for history, as I do. Her research for her novels in itself is enough to keep me reading to find out more about the outcome of the particular historical event she's penning. Her heroes are extraordinary. Especially the 'Falcon'. He was man enough to put up with Jasmine's undecidedness, and sometimes just downright childish behavior. He was patient, which in itself made him an extraordinary man. But once Jasmine fell in love, she was his most loyal supporter. She sacrificed herself for her family. Again, 'she did what a woman had to do'. One reader commenting the novels said the history was 'mumbo jumbo', but it is a fact that Virignia Henley is a REAL historical writer, in the true essence!

Summary: This is THE Greatest Virginia Henley Book
Review: I loved the characters and who could deny that Falcon is a great hero. I loved the plot and the characters are exquisite!!
Rating:
Summary: Loved this book!
Review: I loved this book! Granted, Falcon is full of testosterone and he is domineering, and even a creep, but I like them that way. I don't want a sappy, wimpy hero. I like them to take charge and be demanding. It makes for such a worthwhile romance. What fun is it for them to say "I love you and fall onto the bed in the first chapter. I like fierce resistance on the woman's part and "I'm going to take you anyway types on the man's part. That kind of book makes me squirm and I like it!!! Virginia Henley does not dissapoint.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: I thought this book was quite good. Although it contained a lot of mumbo jumbo about the wars and all, I still enjoyed the love-hate thing between Falcon and Jasmine.
Rating: 
Summary: abusive hero and flaky heroine, what fun!
Review: I usually like Henley, but I could barely finish this book. Not only does the hero rape the heroine repeatedly, but he is also physically abusive. He seems to be interested only in her body, and feels little or no guilt about his behavior. I will now think twice before buying any of Henley's older stuff and so should you!
Rating: 
Summary: eh its average
Review: i was expecting something more from the book. i knew that it was lacking something when i got half way done. so i was rather dissapointed
