I can't put them down. Ms. Markland has created true to life characters. They are real people struggling with real problems and dangerous challenges.""The book's scenes of intimacy are well written. Set in the tapestry of ongoing conflict and politics in the 11th century, this sensual, bittersweet love story is beautifully written.""The research in this book shone through every page. If you like history, you'll love Defiant Passion.""Anna Markland weaves a fantastic tale of love, passion, raw emotions and inner conflict. Ms. Markland has obviously studied the medieval period well. The characters become real people and I was transported back to 11th century Europe, with all their trials and tribulations. The historic detail wound into their love story is simply brilliant! A fantastic read!"If you enjoy the historical richness of Ken Follett, you'll love Anna Markland's books. Follett with a woman's touch!” DRIVE
