I agree with the reviewer that said this book fizzled out.  The first 15-50% was intriguing.  It was an interesting time in history (Norman conquest), Lillyth and Alison seemed likeable, peripheral characters added a different perspective, and Guy, though he was at first not so likeable, seemed at least reedemable.  However, by the end of the book I didn't like Lillyth OR Alison, too many minor characters having their happy endings seemed much too contrived, and Guy was still unlikeable.  He started out as a jerk, and pretty much stayed that way.  Plus, the story with Wulfric could have been used much more effectively to add tension and drama, but instead it was resolved barely halfway through.  I don't even know why Morgan and Faith were thrown in for part of the first half.  The last half was an annoying look at the H and h's love/hate relationship, which was resolved much too rapidly at the end.I think this book had potential but it just became muddled and somewhat irritating to read.  Like the other reviewer, I do not think this is a keeper, but I will disagree with him/her that it is worth buying - only read if you can get this as a freebie.
