Chandra de Avenell might look like a golden princess, but she fights like a warrior, dreams a warrior's dreams, and wears a warrior's pride like a suit of armor. She wants to be strong, independent, and free. She has no use at all for a husband. Enter the man her father has selected for her. Jerval de Vernon takes one look at Chandra, and he wants her. After he saves her from a very bad situation, he sets himself to wooing her--not an easy task. How does a man convince a woman he coerces into marriage to become a wife? To give him her loyalty and trust? Love is something he would like her to consider as well. But what if the wife has no intention of cooperating? Does he break her or finally give up to her?… (more)

This is one of those bodice-buster books that's been reissued. I like Ms. Coulter's writing and wanted something in the medieval period, so I grabbed this book.
Chandra is an unlikely Medieval heroine. She's been raised as a boy and fights with her father's men, disdaining womanly tasks. Her father finally decides she should marry and picks Jerval as her mate. There's some drama, not necessary, in my opinion, but they wed and ended up going on a Crusade. The historical details are pretty good, but the story is somewhat unrealistic for that period. Chandra and Jerval both try to change the other and finally resolve to accept their differences. ( )

First in the song books. Good not great. Fairly typical historical romance. ( )

This book was disappointing. I like to be able to connect connect or feel for the main female character in a romance novel. I couldn't in this one. Although she was physically strong and prided herself on her ability to keep up with the male figures fighting in this book, she was a petulant child for most of it. I was also uncomfortable with the relationship she had with her father. Not only was it uncomfortable for me as a reader, it was uncomfortable to many of the other character's in the book. CREEPY is how I would describe it. I gave the book my best and read through half of it hoping it would pick up or change but it did not. ( )
