 King Henry would be so proud of how he was portrayed in this Historical Romance Medieval novel September 1, 2006

I have not been reading medieval novels long but I can say of all the ones I've read so far this is the best!
You know how you read some novels and either one of the protagonist is told something by a Villain just to drive a wedge between the Hero/Heroine and that becomes the basis of the book. You know those kind of matters that could be solved in just a few sentences?....well there were SEVERAL in this book and because I'm so used to the "big misunderstanding" I was so sure that this was where the plot of this book was headed. But boy was I wrong, and I'm so grateful that Ms Stuart has such an imaginative mind as to keep the syntax of this book moving without the major stupid factor as the plot.
I loved this very resourceful, intelligent and amazing heroine. I was cheering for her the entire way. I did start to get annoyed at her patience with her ever swooning older sister.
The hero to me was my type of Hero, strong alpha male with so much power. The loyalty of his men was another touching thing for me and he was a great leader in that essence.
Of course based on history we knew Henry would eventually be King and the way the book was written to bring the conflict between the Hero and the future King to peace was brilliantly written. I love when history is interwoven with romance.
(SPOILER) I even had a tear jerker moment when we all thought our Hero had died, and his men one by one fell on their knees in honor of their lady.....
I could go on and on, this book awesome!!!!!!!!!! 10 BRILLIANT STARS!!!!
 Love the history, very good book. March 13, 2006

It started out a little slow, but picked up once the King arrived at the castle. I love the strong heroine. I also love the description of history during that period of time. I got quite worried about how the H/H were able to survive because the hero was so royal to the wrong king. I am so glad it all worked out in the end.
I would have given 5 stars if not for the adultry the hero commited. What a senseless act, especially he's been so good to the heroine and he was falling in love with her. I never understand why he thought sleeping with another would help him stop loving his wife. I was pretty angry with him and her through the rest of the book. He never recovered in my eyes, such petty excuse. I also hate to see she ran into his arms after what he did to her. I would love to see her slap him a few times instead of cut the serving girl's hair. I would love to see him on the knees instead of her. He deserved some kind of punishment not the serving girl. He got off way too easy. Ok, that's my only regret. I am still fuming about it you can see.
Outstanding! September 30, 2002

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!
a very good touching story November 6, 2000

Bride of the lion by elizabeth stuart is about Jocelyn montagne who is left to guard her fathers fortress when Robert DELangley the original owner comes to take back what is rightfully his. Robert is known as the fabled lion of normandy and decides to hold his enemy's daughters hostage for his lands. This book was so well written I felt jocelyns pain, her father not loving her as much as her sister and brother who was also very mean. They would tell her she was ugly and abuse her until Robert showed up and admired her spirt when she did not swoon at the slightest threat. He also showed her she was not ugly but beautiful! Even in though he did not want to fall in love with her. this is one of the best books I have ever read!

This is the first of her books that I have read. I highly recommend it. The first couple of chapters are not up to the writing skill portrayed in the rest of the book. I was not able to put it down, once I got into the story. Strong characterizion and plot according to historical time frame. Good reading.
