It is very good historical fiction. The feel for the times is right on, not just wallpaper history. I absolutely love William. He is a rough but kind man who is very aware of his bastardy and who wants a woman of his own and a family. Arabella is also a strong character. Much of the book revolves around her love for her son and what she'll do to protect him. William becomes her ally in this even though he thinks the boy is the result of adultry while she was with her first husband. William is basically incapable of cruelty to those weaker than himself. He is a wonderful example of a strong man who is constantly aware that he must be gentle to those less strong. His love for Arabella is very well drawn and believable. Arabella is strong but within the framework of what women were allowed to be at the time. Highly recommended. ( ) no reviews | add a review
A shocking scandal. An undeniable passion. A medieval Scottish romance from "an amazingly talented author who has few rivals" (RT Book Reviews). Arabella of Byrum's stunning beauty is a blessing and a curse. It drew the brutal Elias of Woolford to make an irresistible offer for her hand in marriage, and it fueled the jealous rage that made Elias break that bond--leaving Arabella with an infant Elias refuses to acknowledge as his, and a shattered reputation. Despite the slanderous rumors about Arabella, William of Dunashie wants her when no other lord will. In his arms, Arabella discovers what the true power of love is, and can only hope that power will keep her safe as she searches a shadowy labyrinth of evil intrigue for the way to clear her name.
