Like a pagan god, Rolfe the Relentless rode into Castle Aelfgar to claim it as his prize--and Lady Alice as his bride.nbsp;nbsp;Lauded for his bravery in France, in England he was the hated enemy.nbsp;nbsp;Once ensconced in his new domain, Rolfe became determined to tame the Saxon beauty Ceidre, Alice's illegitimate sister, whose spirit and sensuality make him risk treason to have her--not Lady Alice--in his bed... Mysterious and seductive, she was no lady but a spy for the rebel cause of her noble half brothers.nbsp;nbsp;Refusing to bow to this arrogant warrior who ignited her forbidden passion, Ceidre was swept into a dangerous liaison tied to the fate of England and kings.nbsp;nbsp;Yet with his kisses on her lips, his skillful hands on her body, she would have to struggle not to surrender to...

This is a medieval love triangle involving a masochistic, self-absorbed and completely deranged heiress, a hot blonde chick with a lazy eye who happens to be accused of witchcraft, and the biggest asshole that has ever lived....what's not to like???
I thought i would hate the book, I really did but I would up liking it at the end. Plus I finally got the perfect answer to why did they keep women virtuous in those days. They would keep them so ignorant that the poor girls just had no choice but to fall for the first guy they hook up with no matter how high does he score on the useless, pitiful excuse for a man scale.....
Alice treated her sister like shit all her life, and the things that she continued to do to her were just godamn wrong. Ciedre has the biggest pair of balls on a chick to go trough so much evil from everyone and her continuous suffering was even more wrong. Rolfe should have been castrated at birth but someone overlooked it and we got our anti-hero loverboy. Everything about him was wrong.....
This book had so much wrong layered in it, that at the end it made it right... I liked it.... It was so much better than expected and i just LOVE when that happens. :D ( )

The Conqueror is dedicated to: My mom, truly special and even more wonderful. And my dad, one of those guys who move mountains. Friends always said that one day it had to happen, because of my constant creative visualization, a man just like one of my heroes would sweep me away, and finally, it did! For Eli - a real hero. With a special thank you to Maggie Lichota
