After fleeing marriage before, King Henry has ordered Lady Gaenor Wufrith to marryChristian Lavonne from the enemy family. It is with trepidation, she awaits her sister Beatrix’s marriage, where she is to meet the man for the first time. She wonders what will happen when he learns she is not the virgin he expects. In the meantime she is tightly secluded at the castle where her brothers train knights. When she meets the tall knight, Sir Matthew, she is drawn to him. Can she talk him into taking her away from the impending marriage.Christian Lavonne had been a monk before his older brother’s death, when his ailing father bought his way out to become baron and head the family. He came to the Wufriths to receive knight training, so he can properly lead his men. When he realizes his future bride is on the grounds, he connives to meet her again and again. Knowing the reception he will receive if he gives her his real name, he tells her he is Sir Matthew. As she seems to grow fonder of him, he keeps vowing to tell her who he really is, but he can’t bring himself to do so until it is too late. His obsessed half-brother has escaped the king’s prison, and Christian must ride to protect his holdings.I found myself at a disadvantage as the book opened. I had read THE UNVEILNG, but not THE YEILDING, and it was hard for me to understand all the characters or what was happening. At first I thought this one was not going to be a good as THE UNVEILING, which I loved, but it was. I would be hard-pressed to decide which I liked best. I found no errors here, and the story drew me in. I will be looking for the others in the series. This is clean, historical romance at its best.
