Publisher's Summary:
Forced to wed the daring Norman lord Guy of Rivaux, proud and beautiful young Catherine de Brione vowed never to give him her heart. Catherine was sure she loved dashing Brian FitzHenry, who had held her in thrall since childhood. But she had no inkling of the fire her bridegroom could rouse within her. As the turmoil of intrigue and battle, danger and deception erupt around her in 11th century Normandy, Catherine finds that the daring and passionate man she was so eager to leave is now the man she can't bear to lose.

Stirring Second in the Fire Series!
Set in 1106, 13 years after LADY OF FIRE, this is the story of Guy, Count of Rivaux and Catherine, Demoiselle of the Condes, daughter of Roger de Brione and Eleanor (from book 1).
The story begins as William the Conqueror's surviving sons are at war. Henry is King of England and his older brother Robert Cuthose reigns in Normandy. Guy, Count of Rivaux has been sent to Condes to take Lady Catherine as hostage for Curthose to ensure her father's neutrality. Catherine has been promised to Robert of Caen, King Henry's favorite son but she's not enthusiastic about him. She would have another of the king's bastards, Brian FitzHenry. However, when Cuthose needs men and money, he bargains with Guy for men and money using Catherine's hand as the incentive. Guy marries her but as she is only 13, he does not take her, wanting to allow her time to grow. And then comes the war...
Like LADY OF STEEL, this tale is rich in the history of the time as England and Normandy battle for control. Caught in the middle are Guy and Catherine and their tenuous emerging love. The villain from LADY OF FIRE, Robert, Count of Belesme, is back and just as compelling a figure as before. If you loved book 1, you must read this one for a dramatic finish.
It has great dialog and exciting twists and turns--a fast-moving story that will keep you turning pages. Another great medieval in the Fire series from Mills.

Good Fluff
I love a great historical romance - unfortunately, this was not that great. The historical accuracy was acceptable, the visual details there for the most part, but the storyline was much too predictable. The main Heroine unlikable (smug, arrogant, very immature, 13yrs old was not young for wedding/bedding back then, but they were usually also acted much older, since most people never saw the other side of 30) It required very little thought or attention (from me) to any of it to follow and much of it dragged for pages. The author had a very annoying habit of constantly using "God's blood...(but you take liberties with my person!) and, "God's bones...(do you think me a fool?). I thought if I read either one of those ('God's blood/bones) again, I was going to hurtle my Kindle out the tower window and hoped it hit the Demoiselles bitchy little head! Affordable and not bad for those times you just want some nice 'fluffy' reading to relax to...
No 5 star but almost
When I started reading this story it was so boring but I saw all of the 5 star reviews and knew there had to be something to it. At the 36 percent mark I started enjoying the story and it became very good.
