Amber Promise by Margaret Abbey

I really liked this book a lot. I wonder if I will be able to find another book by this author. I thought Margaret Abbey did a good job writting in the time period that this book took place in. And it had all the things that I love in books, nice story that is well written with action, adventure, and a little bit of love thrown in. It was rather fun reading a book in this time period because you don't come upon them that often.

Wealthy heiress to Birlstone castle, Lady Alys possessed a rare and golden beauty, hidden since childhood by the mark of her father's wrath. When Prince John approved her marriage to handsome Baron Geoffrey de Courcelles, the young groom showered Alys with lavish gifts and freed her from the single blemish that denied her loveliness. Yet Geoffrey remained strangely cold and aloof, withholding the affection her virginal heart craved. Then a rival suitor publicly insulted Geoffrey at the Royal Nottingham tournament, and Alys was plunged into a drama of rebellion, secret treachery, and awaking desire.

Here is a romance of England's proud knighthood, of daring outlaws, and a valiant noblewoman held hostage for love, awaiting the passionate fruits of an Amber Promise.
