Helpful Score: 1
I was disappointed with this book. Her stories tend to be more juicy and have more intrigue and I missed that in this book.
Another good one!! Great read!
Historical drama of star-crossed lovers. I found the heroine, Jory, rather naive but loyal and brave. Ok to read for a rainy day.
Pretty good story- historically and romantically. It dragged at some points...
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! NEW Condition.
AS always Henley writes a HOT historical romance that keeps you turning the pages of the book!
new release
Marjory "Jory" is a little stupid for my taste; she made me want to scream! But all in all it was a good book, just not my style of heroine; I like them less spoiled and more adventurous in going for the one that they love!
This book follows A Year and A Day and is Jory de Warenne's story. You might also want to read the Plantagenet Trilogy: The Falcoln and the Flower, The Dragon and the Jewel and The Marriage Prize, which are loosely related. It's told in 3 parts and is written in an overview style. I never felt like I really knew who Jory was as a woman. Overall, this book lacks heart and soul.
This is a very good book, I enjoyed it!
This is one of the books in a series.. This one is about Majory de Warnne.
A great read!
good story
ok. she has done better.
Attracted as much to the earl's rakish reputation as to his gorgeous body, Marjory de Warenne ignores the warnings to avoid Guy de Beauchamp heeding only the advice of her best friend Princess Joanna Plantagenet to go out and get him. She begins her seduction to lure Guy, who is used to women desiring him.
However, Guy finds this lady tantalizingly different. He sets out to stamp her as his. The siren is being seduced by the womanizer as much as the womanizer is being seduced by the siren. Both want more with neither satiated beyond the moment. Over the years as rebels constantly try to bring down King Edward's reign, Guy and Marjory find a love affair that supersedes infidelity, betrayal, and treason that engulfs the two lovers.
Few writers, if any, can mingle real historical people like Joanna with characters so that the historical figures come alive and in turn make the protagonists seem real as well as Virginia Henley consistently does. In INFAMOUS, Ms. Henley brings the late thirteenth century England vividly alive through the actions and intrigue of the real regal court as much as by her pairing of Marjory and Guy. As always this is must reading for sub-genre readers as Ms. Henley provides a compassionate historical love story that transcends the era it picturesquely depicts.
