BetrayalBy Jenna JaxonBlurb:After a night of passion with her betrothed, Sir Geoffrey Longford, Lady Alyse de Courcy is eagerly looking forward to her wedding. But when Geoffrey is forced to marry another, a heartbroken and possibly pregnant Alyse finds herself in her own private hell. She must either gamble with her reputation or marry someone she does not love.A reputed connoisseur of women, Thomas, Lord Braeton, has dallied with many ladies of King Edward’s court, although he has favored none. However, as Geoffrey’s best friend, Thomas has sworn to serve and protect Alyse, an oath now sorely tested when he agrees to marry her—in name only—to guard her reputation. Yet, as they grow closer, and Thomas discovers Alyse’s sweet but spirited nature, he comes to desire a marriage in truth. Can he overcome her memory of Geoffrey or is Thomas doomed to burn with passion for a woman he can never possess?Review:Excited doesn’t begin to describe how I felt about reading this book. I loved Geoffrey. He wooed Alyse with his grand gestures yet when we left the first book, Betrothed, but I knew that something bad was going to happen. Ms. Jaxon weaves a tale that had me changing my heart. Thomas is also a wonderful and courtly man who cares for Alyse. I could see why Thomas might make a wonderful husband for Alyse. He also showed his caring and deep understanding of her situation. He didn’t force her but won her heart as well.Now I’m dying to know what will happen in the third book. I have a sneaky suspicion about what might happen and I won’t spoil your surprise with guesses…However, I want Alyse to be happy and I don’t know who I’d choose at this point. I do realize that someone must be removed from the picture which frightens me. Too bad I have to wait!! Get that book done Ms. Jaxon.  Please!
