Uncommon Vows Mary Jo Putney 9780451210685 Books Reviews

This is my second book from Mary Jo Putney and it didn't dissopoint me. This is a beautiful medieval story. I like that both are very religious because that is how it was in medieval time. Church was very important. Despite of that this was also very sexy read and love scenes were very beautifully written. Hero has an obsession about the heroine and the heroine is very stubborn to not to surrender to him. A lot of things happends but finally they find they happy ever after. This was very emotional read and sometimes it made me teary. I would really recommend this book. Mary Jo Putney is very talented author. Unfortunately she hasn't written any other medievals.

English is not my first language so sorry if my grammatic isn't perfect.
What a well-written Medieval times romance, I could barely put the book down. There were unacceptable themes by today's standards that were written with care. So most people would not be put off and done so well that it added to the story. Well done! I love these characters.
Love everything by Mary Jo Putney, and that is a very long list of books! Discovered that I had never read this one so was delighted to find it! It's wonder! Set in Medieval England with lots of historical background and a love story that is very complicated, to say the least! Two very strong characters at war with one another, but also desperately drawn together! Have not finished it , so I can not spoil the ending! Very hard to put down!
This a perfect mix of history and poetry. I am not a fan of Mary Jo Putney, but I am a fan of this book. It is rich enough in detail that one is quickly submerged in the world of knights and their ladies without being bogged down in details. The romance is beautiful and although I wanted a little more description of the intimate scenes because that's just me, it wasn't a full face to black novel. Five stars from me and I admit, that is a rare thing!
Wow. I've loved many of this author's books but this is the first time I've read something of hers that is this horrific.

It's the story of a girl who is abducted by a man, who repeatedly asks to leave, and who is abused through isolation, solitary confinement, deprived of occupation, and finally when he attempts to rape her (this is explicit) she commits suicide.

When she fails to commit suicide she loses her memory and becomes his "willing" sex slave. He makes a big show of resisting but eventually both has sex with her knowing that she would consider this rape and marries her, again knowing that with her memory she would never have agreed to this.

Finally there is a scene where she "wakes up" with her memory back and finds that she has been raped. Again, this is made explicit.

Is there more? Can there be more rape in this book? Oh yes.

I honestly can't believe this book was published, much less that it was in the romance novel section.
Not many readers of historical romance may know that Mary Jo Putney wrote a medieval, but she did, and this is it! Set in 1143, when England was torn apart by the war between King Stephen and Matilda, King Henry I’s only legitimate heir, it tells the story of Lady Meriel de Vere, a high spirited young woman who loves riding fast and training her falcon. Convent raised, she is considering taking the veil until a vision of a mounted knight blocking that path warns her from it.

Adrian de Lancey, Baron Warfield thought to become a priest, but the death of his father and older brothers at the hands of their enemy, Guy of Burgoigne, gave Adrian the title and a reason for vengeance. Adding to that, Matilda names Adrian Earl of Shropshire and King Stephen bestows the same title on Guy.

One day when Meriel is hunting with her falcon, she strays into the royal forest where Adrian and his men find her and accuse her of poaching. Meriel fears to tell him she is a Norman from her brother’s holding, Avonleigh, because they support King Stephen and she knows Adrian supports Matilda, so she lies and tells him she is a Welsh commoner. Adrian takes her back to his castle at Warfield and forcibly holds her prisoner in a small stone chamber, telling her she will remain there until she agrees to become his mistress. Meriel vows never to give in, preferring death to dishonor.

Adrian is her knowing his perfidy by her amnesia…which renders her a docile female, hardly recognizable from the strong-willed beauty she had been. Of course, Adrian takes full advantage.

This one will definitely keep you turning pages. Though it did bother me a bit that Meriel could have been free any time if she but told Adrian who she was. Alas, she does not and remains Adrian’s prisoner. For Meriel, who loved her freedom, it was a horrible fate. Adrian apparently buys her tale that she is common born, though her speech must have been that of a lady. And, though he realizes she is an innocent, he prays for wisdom to seduce her. (The word “cad” came to mind.) I so wanted him to grovel in the end.

The falconry aspects of the story are fascinating and Putney has done her research to present the noble sport well. The historical background is rich and surrounds the romance. I quite liked that. This story has it all history, a great romance, vengeance, treachery, deceit, amnesia and, at one point, near rape. Oh yes, the ending is an exciting one!

A worthy medieval romance, I recommend it!
