Product Description

Guy de Montgomery's Norman invaders sweep across the English countryside to claim Godstone Hall and its fairest prize of war, Lillyth. She is irresistibly drawn to this virile conqueror who woos her to surrender. Though treacherous friend and foe alike rise up to challenge him, Guy will never relinquish this bewitching woman who has enflamed his warrior's blood with a passion he is powerless to resist. Bold Conquest is a classic captor/captive tale of loyalty and passion that sizzles with white-hot intensity, written by "The Queen of Steamy Romance."

Bold Conquest November 28, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I love the historical part of this novel and was completely satisfied with the relationship between the hero and heroine. The Battle of Hastings is one of my favorite periods for historical romance. If you are a Virginia Henley fan you won't be disappointed.

Set in 1066 following the Battle of Hastings, and the Norman invasion of Saxon England, the story follows Guy de Montgomery as he (and his brothers) take Godstone, the family home of Lillyth, who he claims as his own. He is fascinated by her, and is determined to woo her, and secure her heart.

Virginia Henley's historical details are excellent, and her depictions of Medieval life at the castle, realistic. The sub stories were well done, dealing with Lillyth's mother, Guy's brothers, and the other women at the castle, and this helped provide depth to the story as well as moving it along. However, I found the "feisty" heroine far to "twenty-first century" to be believable. The relationship between Guy and Lillyth seemed to lack spark, and the end of the story was rushed. It was such a pity, because the setting was beautifully depicted, but was let down by romance between the main characters.

Is it worth buying? Yes. Is it a keeper? Sadly no.

More About the Author

New York Times best-seller Virginia Henley is the author of 26 lush and lusty historical romances and 5 short stories. Her books are published in 16 languages around the world. She is the recipient of a dozen awards including a Lifetime Achievement Award from Romantic Times, A Maggie Award for Excellence from the Georgia Romance Writers, and a Waldenbook Award for top-selling long historical for 1994.

The St. Petersburg Times calls Henley "The Queen of Steamy Romance."

Kathe Robin, RT Book Reviews says: "Henley's gift for bringing remarkable women to life in colorful, turbulent times is what turns her romances into keepers. Henley heats up the pages with her love scenes, and her skill at portraying actual historical personages with humanity while maintaining historical accuracy wins our minds. Henley knows what historical romance is all about and always gives the readers what they want."

Henley says: "My hero is always dark, dominant and dangerous. Then I create a woman who is a match for him...or more than a match!
Men come up to me at conferences and thank me for writing my books. One man said, "I don't read them, but I always know when my wife is reading a Henley!"

My next book The Dark Earl goes on sale September 6 and is the third in the series following The Decadent Duke, and The Irish Duke.

I have just turned two of my backlist books into Kindle ebooks. Wild Hearts and Bold Conquest are historical romances. My novella Hot As Fire, also available on Kindle, is my only contemporary. I have a short story up on Kindle called Letter of Love that is FREE.

Next month I will be offering a new ebook that is a Southern family saga.
MASTER OF PARADISE tells the story of Nicholas Peacock who is disinherited of his title and wealth in England. He sails to Charleston, South Carolina, and starts a cotton plantation just before the Civil War disrupts everyone's life.
