They were both outcasts by a harsh decree -- and on the brink of a shared destiny of passion! With her father murdered, her home burned, lovely Alyx Blackelt fled to the woods -- and sanctuary in the camp of Raine Montgomery, a nobleman outlawed by the king's edict. There she hid her beauty in the guise of a boy, and her sorrow in her work as Montgomery's squire. But how long could such loveliness as hers be hidden? How long could such a gallant man's desires be blind? And how soon -- even as a blood feud raged between the Montgomerys and the Chatworths, as angry swords clattered in the name of family honor -- one woman's love would make all the difference...one woman's love would inflame a hero's passion, touch a king's pity, and raise a song of praise in every English heart.… (more)

Maybe I'm getting burned out on this series, but each book has gone downhill for me. The constant bickering between the H/h for stupid reasons and the unlikeability of the heroine just made this book a drag. I wanted to see how the other Montgomerys were doing after the death of their sister, but this one was not for me. (

Jude Deveraux is an author I first read many years ago and while some of her books definitely do not age well I do think the Velvet Montgomery Annuals Quadrilogy books do continue to be basically enjoyable to read. I have always enjoyed the interactions her characters have had and the places she sets the story. The plot can be a bit thin but overall I think it's a good beach read. (

Since the first 2 books Raine has changed a lot due to the family tragedy and he is now "King" of the Outlaws living in a outlaw camp in the woods. Due to Alyx's own personal tragedies she has to be disguised as a boy and join the outlaws. Raine is a very prideful man and drove me a bit crazy at times but this was still a really great book. Alyx ends up having some crazy and dangerous adventures. Raine and Alyx and end quarreling a lot throughout the book and cause each other plenty of drama. But they fall very much in love with one another. There are a bunch of great side characters and we get to see previous Velvet Couples which is always great. The romance was steamy and the book kept me interested. A very good read. (

I love this actor. He has very good ideas about a honeymoon.

Dedication

First words

The little village of Moreton was surrounded by a high stone wall, the gray of the stones casting a long, early-morning shadow over the many houses packed inside.
