I was looking for a new book for my Kindle, and My Lord Roland was one of my Amazon `suggestions', so I figured I'd give it a try because it had good reviews and was priced at only .99.  I'm so glad I read this book, it was great!  The story's heroine, Marguerite, is nave at times, but she's also very strong and resourceful.  The hero, Roland, is so enigmatic that I'll admit I couldn't put the book down because I was constantly on edge about his next encounter with Marguerite.  Marguerite knows little about Roland, save that he's known for his temper and many believe he killed his own brother, but if she doesn't marry him, she'll be forced to marry another man who she truly despises.  As Marguerite adjusts to life as Roland's wife, she tries to unravel the mystery surrounding his mother's death, his brother's death, her father's treason, Roland's ex-fiancé, and why more than one servant has told her "you're not the mistress here."  To further complicate her life, she finds herself falling in love with Roland, who seems indifferent to her feelings most of the time.Even though I usually don't like books written in the first person, I loved watching the story unfold through Marguerite's eyes.  There was a definite darkness to this novel because of the mysteries surrounding Marguerite as well as her despair over Roland's feelings for her, but her questions are answered at the end and she learns the truth about Roland and his ex-fiancé.Five stars!
