Summary: The greatest adventures story and romance ever told
Comment: After reading "A Knight in Shining Armor" and "The Duchess", I was ready to to give up on Jude Deveraux because I thought the above-mentioned books were bad and did not enjoy them one bit. Then, I got my hands on "The Conquest" and became Ms. Deveraux's fan forever.
From previous reviews, I noticed that readers loved the character of Tearle but were less enthralled with Zared. I feel just the opposite. I loved Zared. Sure, she was a brat but she is unlike any other romantic heroine. She was instantly refreshing and even touching when she was vulnerable. Tearle, on the other hand, seemed a bit boring at first. I don't dispute that he is right for Zared, but he is not the typical dashing romantic hero. Even so, I grew to like him an couldn't wait until he and Zared got together for good.
My second favorite character, after Zared, is Anne. She also got spunk and I wish that she could have been given more to do or even a whole book devoted to her story.
I adore this book, but it still can't compare to the book that I consider to be the most breathtaking romance: "Wishes".

Summary: disappointed
Comment: Zared, the books herione, has grown up with a family fued against the Howards. For protection, her brother's have dressed her as a boy and trained her to fight and hate the enemy her whole life. Tearle Howard has grown up in France away from the fued and when he meets Zared he's immediately interested in her for the woman he sees beneath boys cloths. The feud complicates their getting together, but in the end Tearle finally breaks through Zared's barriers to win her love.
I've liked Jude Deveraux novels in the past (The Duchess, Knight in Shining Armor) but I have to admit I was disappointed with this book. The story never seemed to [pull] me in and I found myself reading just to know how it ended. I even wondered why Tearle liked Zared at all. She was so filled with hatred and seemed incapable of showing him even the slightest bit of kindness.
This is a book to skip.
