Claudia Dain
The Barnes & Noble Review,Temptation wrestles with restraint throughout Claudia Dain's historical romance set in mid-12th-century England. Meet Elsbeth of Sunnandune, a young noblewoman who is determined to live a life of prayer in the convent. It seems to be the only alternative to dying in childbirth, like her mother and, later, her stepmother. When her father marries her off to the handsome and noble Hugh of Jerusalem, the cloister seems far away, unless she can avoid his touch -- but Hugh is equally determined to awake passion within his new bride. Fans of medieval romances will enjoy the war of wills that ensues between these two fiery characters. ,Ginger Curwen
