"Darkly handsome and rich beyond imagining, the bold English conqueror was called Lyonfor for his lion like fierceness. He had no match among enemies, or women ... until he met Lyonene, the green-eyed beauty whose fiery spirit matched his own. Through a whirlwind romance and a stormy marriage, she endured every peril to be by his side... until jealousy and vicious lies drove her across the Irish Sea and into rave danger. One man could save her -- only the fierce Black Lyon had the courage to destroy the ruthless plot that had driven them apart and threatened the bond of love they had vowed could never be broken." ~ from Amazon.com.

This book is great for romance lovers. (As are all of Jude's books.) This one is a little less plot filled and more into the main characters relationship.

I really liked how clearly the relationship was shown between the main characters. They are at each others throats much of the time, but still their love shines through.

I felt there was less plot to this piece. I enjoy a good "story" with a good romance, however, I felt the plot was lacking.

I wanted to read more of Jude's books. She's got a fantastic selection.

This book made me feel heartbroken, but I got mended in no time.

Jude Deveraux is, again, amazing. She's extremely good at conveying the characters feelings and emotions to the reader. You can't go wrong with one of her romance novels.

I recommend this book because it is yet another excellent romance novel.
