review 1: A Rose for Lancaster by Christine Elaine Black is an historical romance with a Tudor theme. Forced into a marriage contract to please King Henry VII, Blanche Langley, a York woman, and Giles Beaufort, a Lancaster man, struggle to maintain their identity and family loyalty.The author adeptly portrays the personal conflict and mental anguish that each undergoes. We get into Blanche's mind, understand her conflict and loyalty to the York faction, and watch her slowly fall in love with Giles. From the moment Giles sees Blanche, he is stricken with love and relieved that this forced marriage has coupled him with a young and beautiful woman. Will he be able to win her heart?The story is fast paced. Mystery, intrigue, and romance prevail. I really enjoyed the character developmen... moret of the leading couple. It was difficult for me to decide which I preferred; though, as a woman, I leaned towards Blanche for her strength and family loyalty.If you are interested in a light read, I recommend this well-structured story.
review 2: Just experimenting on how it would be like to read a historical novella. This is surprisingly good and the author has managed to capture the essence of that time period within the first few pages. Historical details are entertaining and the love story engaging. The author has managed to add everything required of a historical novel within the 71 odd pages. It has intrigue,action, treachery and romance. A complete package. less
