But Rose is not going to be ousted, and Gervase, a warrior to his fingertips, is not going to meekly withdraw. Instead he’ll claim his castle – and just maybe a bride!

I enjoyed the book and the interaction between the H and h. I did think their story dragged on a bit too long and wish it had all ended a bit sooner. The h was a bit ridiculous to keep refusing the H since he offered everything she wanted.Product details

Conquering Knight Captive Lady Mills Boon MB edition by Anne O'Brien Romance eBooks Reviews
Lady Rosamunde de Longspey has fled with her mother to Clifford Castle. This property was left to her as part of her dowry, in her stepfathers will. Her stepbrother has arranged a marriage for her to a man most objectionable. He is older than her stepfather was, and Rose is determined not to marry him no matter what. Safe at Clifford castle, Rose and her mother settle in. All is well until Lord Gervase Fitz Osbern invades and claims the castle is his, stolen from him by her late stepfather. Refusing to leave and give up, Rose stands firm against Gervase not giving an inch.
Rose is not the sort of woman Gervase likes she is too stubborn and wilfull, he prefers them more biddable. Rose thinks Gervase is an uncouth oaf, and doesn't hesitate to tell him. But underneath there is a spark between them that neither can resist.
Set in the reign of Henry II this is an enjoyable medieval romance. The tension between Rose and Gervase is made even worse by their attraction to one another, which both try to deny. I liked the sub plot between Rose's mother and Lord Hugh their romance was rather more civilised and gentler. Which was a bit of light relief from the two leads constant battles. All in all a good read with a likeable characters. I think Rose might have been a little too stubborn for me. But I did enjoy it.
After the death of her stepfather, Lady Rosamund de Longsprey thought to avoid an arranged marriage with a repugnant man by taking to her newly inherited lands. Despite the deplorable conditions and neglected lands, Rose is determined to make it work because the alternative is not something she is willing to do. Unfortunately for Rose, Lord Gervase Fitz Osbern is just as determined to take back his lands that were stolen from his family. Fitz Osbern shows up and quickly takes control of the castle much to the chagrin and annoyance of Rose. Both are convinced of sole ownership, and both are obstinately trying to oust the other. Neither one is willing to give any ground, nor will either one submit. Will anyone survive? And who will lay claim to the lands?
I absolutely LOVED this story. I happened upon this prize quite by accident as I was browsing the shelves of a local paperback exchange bookstore. The blurb on the back caught my attention, but it was a while before I opened it. I was quickly caught up in the story and the characters; I soon found myself racing to read to see how it would all end. Both Rose and Gervase are strong and dominate characters. Happily, they stayed true to those qualities throughout the story and still had a very satisfying end.
The first scene we read is of Gervase taking over the estate. It comes across rather brutally, and I found myself asking the question "how am I to like this man?" Then, the story flashes back 2 weeks and we see things from the beginning and WOW. I was hooked.
What I enjoyed
1. Lady Rose--she is amazing! She is opinionated, determined, cunning, proud, and smart. She is also compassionate and brave. I loved that she grew as the story progressed. Yes, she was innocent of many ways of the world, but she wasn't overly naïve and stupid about it. She was headstrong, sometimes to her detriment, but always for a cause.
2. Lord Gervase--what a hottie! He was robbed of his lands and stole them right back. Even though he is an honorable knight, he plays the role of a rowdy brigand in hopes it will send Rose running. His attempts are rather funny since he betrays himself with acts of generosity and civility at times. And once he cleans himself up...all his natural charm really shines through.
3. Contess Petronilla and Lord Hugh de Mortimer--Rose's mother and Gervase's friend added a nice touch of sanity to balance out the bullheadedness of both Rose and Gervase. Also, I loved Rose's mom for just being there and being a mom. She wasn't controlling, but supportive.
4. The Undermining of Authority--I loved the subtleties (and not so subtle ways) used by both Rose and Gervase to gain the upper hand. I also appreciated that it wasn't always one that came out on top. In fact, it always seemed even handed. It's infuriating to read stories where the woman is so naïve that she is must be rescued by an all knowing man. Here, we had a well-balanced clash where no one ever seemed to truly be in control of the situation.
5. The Romance--with two such headstrong people, there's bound to be sparks when they meet. They both slowly and thoroughly fall in love with the other. And it was easy to see why they loved each other.
6. The Ending--with both determined to be the conqueror, it was nail-biting to wait and see how two stubborn people would come together without submitting. It was well done. I loved how Rose put to use the unorthodox advice of the Queen.
What I didn't like
The only thing that I didn't like was the several flashbacks it was a bit confusing at times. Am I reading something going on right now? Or did this happen previously?
All in all, I really enjoyed this story. It was a highly entertaining story with believable characters and an emotional romance. This is one I'm going to hold on to and not send back to the paperback exchange store.
very good glad I ordered it. have not read yet will order more when I finish this one good reading
I enjoyed the book and the interaction between the H and h. I did think their story dragged on a bit too long and wish it had all ended a bit sooner. The h was a bit ridiculous to keep refusing the H since he offered everything she wanted.
