My Gallant Enemy

By Rexanne Becnel

Book Overview

In this "delicious medieval love story," a noblewoman is forced to honor a long-ago betrothal to a ruthless warrior--who is now her family's bitter enemy (Romantic Times).
Lady Lilliane was betrothed to Corbett of Colchester at the age of fourteen, long before their families became sworn enemies. Years later, Corbett unexpectedly turns up to claim his beautiful bride and, by contract, her valuable dowry: Castle Orrick. Suspecting some royal intrigue lies behind Corbett's sudden desire for this marriage, Lilliane vows she will never lie in his bed. But what fate awaits Lilliane--and all England--if she resists him? And what darker fate if she surrenders?
This "sensual romance set in 13th-century England" marked the award-winning debut of this USA Today-bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).

Truly Unforgettable, a rare find

I thought this book was wonderful!! It is about a very strong young woman, Lillian, who was once in love with a man, William, that her father forbade her to marry. At that he, married someone else and she was betrothed to Corbett. Then something happens and a battle breaks out and Corbett's father and Lillian's cousin are killed fighting against each other. At that, Lillian leaves town. Upon her return three years later, to attend her two sisters' weddings, her father is very ill and his castle is to be left in the hands of Lillian's sister and brother-in-law when he dies if Lillian does not marry. Her father does not want this for he wants his home to be left in the hands of his oldest daughter Lillian. And Corbett needs Lillian to be his bride so he can have possession of both places. At that, he pays her father a visit and, in result, she is once again betrothed to him. And she hates him for she blames him for the death of her cousin. From there, this book is full of heartache, happiness, anger, loss, mistrust, and jealousy. I highly recommend it. It is one of the best Historical Romance books I have ever read. Not your boring typical romance. She is strong and he is fearless. They have each met their match and this makes the perfect book.

Some Things Were Just Meant To Be.

Lilliane never expected the unexpected; that she would have to honor her father's wishes and marry Corbett of Colchester. Ha! I loved the hero, Corbett had me in suspense. I never knew what he was thinking or feeling - definitely kept me on my toes. Aside from being her enemy - he turned her world upside down and gallantly made her fall in love with him!

Don't miss this book!

I was surprised at the previous bad review - I wonder if she has the right book because this is not a Regency! If you love Medevils, don't miss this sweet story. He is a wonderful hero and she was a spunky heroine. This book is a keeper that I love reading again and again!
