The lady and the commoner...
Lady Christiana Fitzwaryn was not opposed to marriage. But she demanded to be married on her own terms, not as punishment for a romantic indiscretion, and especially not to a common merchant. Yet she was in for a shock when she met David de Abyndon. For she was confronted by no ordinary merchant but a man of extraordinary poise and virility. He was unaffected by their difference in social status. And even less affected by her well-thought-out arguments against their upcoming betrothal. Instead, it was Christiana who felt uneasy in the presence of this naturally lordly man behind whose cool blue eyes she sensed the most uncompromising of passions.
David de Abyndon understood Christiana's dilemma, for he too harbored a secret pain. How could he tell her that there was more to this arrangement than met the eye? How could he tell her about his deal with the king--a deal that meant he had all but bought Christiana sight unseen?
What's more, now that he had seen this beautiful, spirited woman, how could he convince her that the love she sought was not in the callow knight she had romanticized but in the flesh-and-blood arms of the man who may have bought her body--but in the bargain lost both his heart and soul?

From Publishers Weekly
Outraged by her unwilling betrothal to a common merchant and infatuated with a handsome knight of the royal court, medieval Lady Christiana Fitzwaryn pleads with her fianc? to end this misalliance arranged by King Edward of England. For personal and political reasons of his own, David de Abyndon refuses to renounce the marriage and begins a gentle but resolute seduction of his innocent bride. As Christiana awakens to the painful realities of her first love and becomes a part of David's London world, she learns to cherish the husband she first despised. David tries to shield her from his old enemies and a mysterious French familial connection as he secretly assists King Edward in planning an invasion of France. This first novel in a planned trilogy intertwines the difficulties of David and Christiana's marriage with a subplot that contains both political and personal peril as well as a lively cast of secondary characters. Just enough historical detail of 14th-century England enhances a love story that culminates in the sacking of a French city and the revelation of David's true identity. Debut author Hunter begins this new series with a thoroughly satisfying launch that leaves the reader eager for the next episode in the lives of her engaging characters. (June)

A fantastic read!
By A Customer
If you enjoy historical romance, this is a must read! It's well-written and well-researched and it spins a fantastic variation on the "arranged marriage" plot. I also give Madeline Hunter an A+ for character development and plot. Her hero, the merchant David de Abyndon, is intriguing, textured, and complex. Her heroine, Lady Christiana Fitzwaryn, is intelligent and equally intriguing and complex. They evolve and surprise us over the course of the novel. As one of the other reviewers notes, many authors use a historical setting as "wallpaper" for romance. Not so here! Hunter takes great pains to render the social and historical world of 14th-century London in vibrant detail and it makes for a great read! I look forward to her next book.

This is one of my favorite books of all time and Madeline Hunter is one of my favorite authors. She is not repetitive like many romance authors and doesn't insult the intelligence of the reader.

A dishonest man.
By Mae Adamson
This story had a good premise, but did not work for me. My three biggest beefs were the dishonestly of the hero, the convoluted later half of the book and the uncertain conclusion. In my opinon, an important part of love in transparency. The heroine hit the nail on the head when she said that David remaind opague to her. I thought he remained opague to the reader as well. Maybe I would have felt better about David if he had completely come clean at the end. But, of course, true to his character, he did not.
The part after the kidnapping went on far too long.
Another reviewer mentioned that David and Christiana would be better understood after reading Lord of a Thousand Nights. Other than the three books already on my "to be read" shelf, I have no intention of reading another Madeline Hunter book. She is very knowledgeble and a very good writer, but I just can't stand the "up in the air" conclusions of her books. Will the Fitzwaryns regain their lands? Will Morvan survive the wars? Will David ever tell Christiana the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about his dealings with the king? Will David become his father's heir?
Real life is full of uncertainties. I don't read romance novels to be confronted with the harsh realities of life. I like my happily ever after. And for me, that does not include a lot of unanswered questions.
