JESU.This is the first medieval story I've read (since history class in high school that is) - I cannot begin to explain how well written and thought out this story is! I will try not to list any spoilers here.Helena is a strong, stubborn, passionate woman, proving capable of not only taking care of herself, but everyone she loves at Lystanwold.Guy is - he is fantastic.  From the moment he climbs into Helena's bedroom with her uncle and she says 'Who are you?' only to be answered with 'He's your husband.' - I was in love.I adore the fact that these two were thrown together - that Guy didn't vie for her affections, he simply had to be himself and it all played out just as it should have.  Ms. Hegger did a marvelous job of giving us a feel for the time period this story is set in without distracting from the perfection of the love story she has weaved here.  She simply took my breath away with these characters.From Bess, who I never even met but cried for, to Geoffrey's sweetness - and Helena & GUY! I love them so much.  Such great, well rounded, interesting characters! And the hatred she spurred in me for Ranulf! PERFECT.  As far as the connection these two have?  You will be holding your breath when she gives him a bath, and yearning for your very own GUY when things finally happen between them.This story will suck you in from the first chapter - and you will not put it down until you're finished, medieval reader or not, this is a love story you HAVE to read! I promise you will love it and your heart will never be the same.THANK YOU for your words, Ms. Hegger! I'm looking forward to your next release!
