Publisher Description
Astride her white palfrey, surrounded by a nimbus of silver-blond hair, Jasmine was a vision to strike a man mute with desire. But the violet-eyed love child of King Richard's half brother had vowed that no man would ever rule her heart. Until she saw the face of the Devil himself in her crystal ball--the dark, brooding knight who would kill to make her his own. She would risk a dissolute court and a maddened, lustful king to keep destiny at bay, anything to keep her from the hypnotic eyes and burning caresses of...The Falcon.
A wickedly handsome warrior who lived by blood and the sword, Falcon de Burgh wanted to wed no woman--until he laid eyes on the exquisite Jasmine, and he vowed to possess her, to teach her all the wondrous ways a man could love a woman, no matter what it might take to conquer her fiery, unyielding heart. Falcon knew only blind, reckless passion as he swore to tame, at the risk of his life...The Flower.

The falcon and the flower
One of her best
Just eh..
While entertaining enough (eh) to finish reading, I found the characters highly lacking in depth. I don’t feel like I ever truly got to know ANY character fully, barely learn their thoughts/history, and many intimate conversations were breezed over and the reader given an explanation of what was discussed instead of the dialogue itself. Semi-spoiler ahead - there are multiple occasions where Jasmine is literally and fully raped by Falcon and I found it extremely uncomfortable to read to the point that I was having to skip ahead. While I understand that may have been historically accurate, I purchased this book for its romance story, definitely not for a history lesson. And the way that Jasmine’s demeanor/feelings towards Falcon changes is flighty/flippant to say the least.
