His father will stop at nothing to keep the royal bloodline "pure" --even murder. But his sins have nearly destroyed Prince Philip and the future of his reign.

Forced into a political marriage, Philip tells his bride, "I will not lie to you, I will not be unfaithful to you, and I will not love you. My heart is pledged to another and I am not a man to break an oath."

His one true love is a lowly serving girl. When Philip refuses to set her aside in order to form a politically beneficial marriage, his father has the girl tried on false charges and executed. He then forces Philip to marry the beautiful and nobly born Lady Rosalynde. Devastated and embittered by his loss and his father's betrayal, Philip is determined to never love again . . . not his father, not his wife, not his God. Although Rosalynde adores him, he withholds his heart from her, refusing to let even death end his devotion to the love he lost. Despite his coldness towards her, Rosalynde is determined to love him and teach him to love her -- as determined as the God he has turned his back on. As civil war rages throughout the realm, Philip faces a greater struggle within himself. Will he open his heart to love again or let his pride destroy him and his kingdom?

DeAnna Julie Dodson is the author of The Chastelayne Trilogy: "In Honor Bound," "By Love Redeemed" and "To Grace Surrendered" and the contemporary mysteries, "Letters in the Attic," "The Key in the Attic," "The Diary in the Attic" and "The Legacy in the Attic." Writing as Julianna Deering, she is author of the 1930s Drew Farthering Mystery series which includes "Rules of Murder" and "Death by the Book," coming from Bethany House Publishers beginning in August, 2013.

4,0 su 5 stelle Review of the reviews plus my own take on the story
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 6 marzo 2015

Possible spoilers ahead. I'm one of those people who likes to read the negative reviews first. I want to know what others hated about a book, so I'm either pleasantly surprised or nodding my head in agreement. The one-star reviewer only skimmed because the book was boring. Though I won't argue that the reviewer may have been bored, I was drawn into the story from the start. The two-star reviewer said the book was depressing. No problem. I can handle depressing. I read Dostoevsky. (Sadly, though, if I had been looking for depressing, I would have been disappointed. I didn't find the story at all depressing.)

This is your classic "hurt and heal" story. The author hurts the protagonist horribly, so healing can come about through the power of love. Another reviewer objected to the formula, but that's just how these stories are written. Take it or leave it.

One of my favorite reviews gave the story three stars because of Rosalynde's eye-rolling "swift protestations of unfailing undying love" and Phillip's prolonged self-loathing. Yep and yep. But neither made me roll my eyes. Rosalynde has to realize she's been idolizing a man she doesn't really know. I love that aspect of the story because it's so often overlooked in modern romance. And yes, I do agree Phillip's rejection of Rosalynde might have been just a little too prolonged. I could easily accept his anguish over the loss of his Kate. I'd have felt the same in his place. But I also felt he carried his stubborn loyalty to Kate beyond the point where even Kate would have approved. What woman wants the man she loves miserable for the rest of his life in memory of her? I think Kate would have told Phillip to get on with his life and love his new wife much sooner than he accepts it himself.

Now for my own objections. I appreciate a well-rounded antagonist, and King Robert is excellent. Cruel, ambitious, and yet sympathetic and not entirely heartless. Prince Stephen, on the other hand, doesn't ring true. It seems to me, in her efforts to make him completely bad, the author bases him off one of those pagan kings in the Bible who belittles the God of Israel. But this story takes place in a Christian country. Stephen talking like a pagan king doesn't fit. It would have made more sense if he'd said something like, "Let's see whose side God is really on, Phillip! The rightful heir's or the son of a usurper!" Because that's what Phillip is. Despite Stephen's villainy, he is the son of the true king. Duke Robert stole the throne, and Phillip shouldn't have it at all. To her credit, the author does address this and works it out in a fair manner. I just don't like how she makes Stephen so thoroughly bad to ensure the reader supports Phillip.

I saw the deus ex machina ending coming from a mile off. While the turn of events might be easily explained from a human perspective and thus not entirely unbelievable, I'm not sure how I feel about writing God as a character in a story. And then the damsel in distress moment at the end. I'm sorry, but that just makes an otherwise good character look careless and stupid. This isn't a Disney movie. Phillip is a warrior. He's already killed any number of people on the battlefield. Give him the dignity of killing his rival outright.

Those were pretty much my only objections. I liked the story. I could see myself getting caught up in it again if I ever accidentally opened the book and started reading, and I wouldn't mind reading the sequels.

If you like adventure, romance, and regency-type books, I think you will love this one. I'd recommend it to anyone (guys or gals) from age sixteen up. It's a clean inspirational romance that will keep you reading past your bedtime. I know, it's a book released several years ago, but it is great.

For Rosalynde of Westered, it was love at first sight. Philip of Chastelaines's heaven-blue eyes captured her at the age of fifteen and would never let her go. Philip, on the other hand, has been assigned by his father the duty of entertaining his host's daughter, and he does for those few days the families spend on the Westered's land, further cementing Rosalynde's devotion.

But Philip later discovers his own heart's love rests on a servant girl, much to his father's dismay. As newly crowned king, he intends to wed his three sons to royalty only, and he rids his son of this servant girl by declaring her a witch and having her burned at the stake. Not the smart method to gain your son's compliance with your wishes, King.

3,0 su 5 stelle I really really tried. I really did
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 29 agosto 2014

I give it 3 stars solely for the parts of the book before Rosalynde became a prominent character.

I really did try to like this book as much as the others. I have it a God's honest try! I just could not get over my supreme annoyance of Rosalynde! If she had at least grown her love from a more deeper well knowledge of Phillip, I may have believed her love for him. But as it turned out, they met once, yes ONCE! When she was 14 or 15 and spent like 2-3 days hanging out and 4 years after the initial and only meeting, she was thoroughly "in love" with him based on nothing else other than a teenage crush.

Then when married she literally made me roll my eyes in disgust with her swift protestations of unfailing undying love from that first and only meeting 4 years prior?!? I mean come on!! And then I almost tossed my my kindle out the window hoping it would land under the tire of a speeding car crushing it into a million pieces when she cried over a pair of gloves!! I mean like openly sobbing! Ok granted she made them painstakingly for her new husband over 2 weeks but to openly cry about him ruining them in a hunt, then slapping his face with them, then made accusations about his past, all over a pair of ruined gloves!! Oh my gosh I about cried myself in frustration over this girl!!

And Phillip! All that self loathing got so damned tiring after an entire freakin book! I mean seriously, the whole book up until the last chapter or so. I mean I get the torment, I really do. But he was acting tormented once then kind, then unprovoked anger to crushing guilt...I mean I couldn't emotionally bare it after an entire book full of it!

The story of Phillip's mother and father was interesting, Katherine and Phillip's story was endearing, John's quiet acceptance was heart breaking, Richard's loyalty to his brother and even Tom's unwavering faith were all high points in the story. My only real problem was with Rosalynde and all her damn crying and "tear-filled eyes" UGH GAG!!

And finally, (Spoiler here): I really believed in Katherine and Phillip's love. It was sweet and unassuming and it ended so heartbreakingly violent that I really felt for Phillip. And then less than a year later he's forced into this marriage and quick as spit, when he sees Rosalynde it's an instant attraction. Then they consummate the marriage and although it's his duty he's stays to cuddle with her. I just find that after such a violent end to the love of his life, Phillip should not have taken such pleasure? Or comfort? In the arms of a woman he only just met for a second time in 4 years. It just was too fast of an emotional change for me after all his ranting and raving about Katherine being the only one for him.

Ok that's it for my review. I made it through the book but only so that I didn't waste money on a half consumed read.
