True Love

This book was amazing...it gives you a whole new outlook on what love is really about. The way it was then was so strong and today it seems asif it is nothing. This book is the best romance I've ever read. I've read it over and over just because I love to recapture the excitement. Trust me you won't be disappointed, maybe if you read it, you'll find it to be your favorite too.

This book is set in 1183 and based on myth and legend. It involves Queen Eleaner of Aquitaine and King Henry the 2nd. Anyway it is a lovely story that will keep you turning the pages. Personnally I think that Talshamar existed, as most legends start with the trueth and evolves. Prince Ruyen sounds sexy with a power hungry mother,who has his father killed to overtake the kingdom. She also arranges to have her son {the rightfull king} and daughter captured and sent to King Henry, who inturns wants to put them to death. Enter Queen Julliana, with the unknown help of Queen Eleanor , who clams that Ruyen is the father of her [imagined] child, so she saves their lives. I will not tell you more of the story, if you like stories with history, a strong love story you will not be disappointed in this.
