I loved Betrothal, so I expected to love Betrayal as well.And I did.At least until I smacked face first into the back book cover and nearly broke my nose!Leaving me most disgruntled.My one and only complaint is that the book ended.This could easily be resolved by my reading book 3, but it’s not out until spring.Which leaves me uncertain of the future.Nor do I obtain great comfort from the name of Book 3:Beleaguered.Getting beyond that complaint, there is nothing about these books not to love.Jenna Jaxon delves deep into historical facts and shares details that imbue the story with character, but never bogs the plot in the process. I found the wedding night rituals most disturbing and am very glad they've changed.You may think me unqualified to review this book since I rarely read historical novels before the 19th century. However, these books transcends time. They are books of love in all its confusion, pain, and pleasure. So you don’t have to be a medieval fan to enjoy them. You just need a heart.
