Summary: Moving and sexy
Review: 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.

Summary: Not as I expected, but better!
Review: I love this book! Even the story's not like I anticipated before reading, but Ms.Becnel can make it far better. Rhys is a wonderful hero. I like him more than the heroes from the first two book, Rand and Jasper. He can show us his tender side along with his headstrong one. And Isolde is great too, They are perfect match.

Summary: thrilling to read
Review: I thought that the book was wonderful...it touched my heart...others who have read the book may disagree but my favorite part was when Rhys carried his "precious bundle" down from the cold tower and into his warm arms.....*sigh*

Review: I've read all of Becnel's and this is her BEST! . Pure, red hot passion consumes the hero and heroine. Becnel knows her history. The plot is well orchestrated, not a page to be skipped. If you enjoyed the first two books of Rosecliffe saga, this third is a must read! ENJOY!

Summary: She knows how to write mesmerizing historicals
Review: 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. Harriet Klausner

Summary: Yummy hero and intense story!
Review: Ms. Becnel has outdone herself this time. Rhys Ap Gawain is an absolutely luscious hero, and Isolde is his perfect match. They really spark off each other, in bed and out. I loved it!

Summary: Should Not Be Called Romance
Review: Rhys ap Owian and Isolde are a perfect match... they're both hateful people and deserve each other. No one but a ruthless, unredeemable character like Rhys, (although at some point in the book, we're told he's really a good man) could stomach a spoiled, immature woman like Isolde. Aside from having some artistic ability, she mostly cries, bemoans her wanton lack of morals, is rude to the servants and screams at Rhys. Oh, yeah. This reviewer forgot. When a man and woman constantly yell that they hate each others guts, it's called Romantic Conflict. With these despicable characters (not to be confused with a hero and heroine) at the center of the story, the plot is immaterial, and the conclusion is a who-cares. It also doesn't matter if the medieval setting was accurate. This reviewer was forced into scan mode much of the time and groaned in agony the rest. For a story with warmth, complex characters, good sex scenes and lyrical writing, READ ANY OTHER BOOK.

Summary: Love it!
Review: This is the first of the author's books I've read and I simply couldn't put it down. I stayed up all night just reading it. The transformation of the two main characters from fierce enemies to passionate lovers is amazing!
Rating:
Summary: Her Best Book!
Review: This is the one by which I rate other "Becnels". It's the third part of a trilogy but stands alone on its merits ( you don't have to read the first two parts ). I highly recommend this book, it's just great.
