Book Description

Series: Harlequin Historical | Publication Date: June 1, 2005

No man would own her...

Elysia Rougemont swore, though she knew the vow to be mere fancy for a noblewoman such as herself. Now although Fate had spared her one unwanted union, she found herself bound to Conon St. Simeon by virtue of his valor, his chivalry-and the secret stirrings of passion all-consuming!

Conon St. Simeon, knight of legendary prowess, would pledge his heart and soul and strong sword arm to Elysia, Countess of Vannes, an independent beauty cloaked in secrets-if she could accept a man with mysteries of his own. For she was a woman like no other...and he wanted no other but her!

From Booklist

For Elysia Rougemont, marriage to the aging count of Vannes, Jacques St. Simeon, means the end of what little freedom she currently enjoys. But after her husband dies during their wedding night and she neglects to correct the misperception that the marriage had been consummated, Elysia is unexpectedly given the opportunity to regain a measure of her independence as a widow. But her hopes are quickly dashed when her guardian devises a plan--a tournament in which the winner will claim her as his prize--to find her a new husband. Now Elysia's only hope of escaping marriage rests with Conon St. Simeon, the new count of Vannes, who, despite his reservations about Elysia, has pledged to help his uncle's widow in whatever way he can. A sinfully sexy hero who knows what it is like to yearn for a measure of independence shows an all-work-and-no-play heroine how to enjoy life in Rock's latest expertly crafted, delightfully entertaining medieval romance.

This review is from: My Lady's Favor (Harlequin Historical) (Mass Market Paperback)

I picked up MY LADY'S FAVOR to read as I waited for my dad to come out of surgery. I couldn't put it down once I started it! I was completely transported into Ms. Rock's world and totally wrapped up in her characters. Which was exactly what I needed. This is a wonderful book that will sweep you away to far off lands full of heros and knights and castles. If you need to escape, here's your ticket.
