Bride of the Lion

Jocelyn Montagne was always treated as more of the black sheep in her family, especially when compared to the silvery blonde beauty of her step-sister. She was the product of a politically arranged marriage that her father was forced into. Jocelyn was capable and worked beside the servants, therefore when her father and step-brother were called away, she could assume the duties of chatelane.Arrogant, dangerous and blessedly handsome, Robert de Langley waited for the right moment and choose that time to re-claim the de Langley castle that the Montagnes had stolen from his family thru treachery. Robert reclaimed the castle and faced the daughter of his enemy, Jocelyn. Armed with a small dirk, Jocelyn, stood up to Robert with strength and determination and negotiated her and her sisters imprisonment. She may have appeared strong, but underneath she was not immune to the handsome warrior, Robert de Langley. They developed a friendship based on respect for each other that soon blazed into a most compelling and sensual love story.This was my first book by this author and certainly not to be my last if this is an indication of her taleny. The Historical details added so mych flavor to this stunningly beautiful tale. Definitely a keeper and not to be missed. The love scenes are wonderful!

I thought this book was the most wonderful read and I've reread this book three times. I just wish there were new ones!

I have read this book at least four times. Such a powerful storyline between Robert and Jocelyn. I highly recommend this book; but have trouble liking anything else written by Ms. Stuart. Guess that's why I keep re-reading this book. One hit wonder? Let's hope not.

I've read, no started to read more books than I can count from the "medieval" genre. This is one of the very best. Not only did it keep me up late turning pages, but next moring I made the mistake of picking it up to read a few pages. Uh huh, late to work.

I loved this book. Definately a curl up by the fire book. It is so touching how Jocelyn finally falls for the lyon. you can taste her disapointment when he ends up betrothed to her sister instead of herself. You must read this book to appreciate true love!!!
