Product Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Ransom comes an exquisite tender tale of love, adventure and passion!In feudal England, Elizabeth Montwright barely escaped the massacre that destroyed her family and exiled her from her ancestral castle. Bent on revenge, she rode again through the fortress gates, disguised as a peasant...to seek aid from Geoffrey Berkley, the powerful baron who had routed the murderers. He heard her pleas, resisted her demands, and vowed to seduce his beautiful subject. Yet as Elizabeth fought the warrior's caresses, love flamed for this gallant man who must soon champion her cause...and capture her spirited heart!

 A Must Read for any HR fan! 4.5 Stars November 30, 2008
When I first began reading this one, I thought it might turn out to be just like a lot of Garwood's other historicals, which are often somewhat similar (even though I pretty much like all of them), but this one just got better and better. This tough guy hero really loves this tough girl, and his love takes over and he will do anything in his power to protect her. Typical in that, but a great story and worthy read. Garwood just does characters so well.
 Ok, not up to the author's usual standards November 19, 2008
This book was steamy at times, but was not as romantic as the other Garwood books that I've read. Thus far it is my least favorite of her books.

Gentle Warrior (Tapestry Romance) This was a fantastic read. I love Julie Garwood. It is the type book that once you pick it up, you don't want to put it down until its finished. I highly recommend this book and this author if you truely like romance novels.
Great Garwood! June 27, 2008
I really enjoyed this book (there are not many JG books that I have not enjoyed) and didn't want to put it down. I will have to say, if you like bantering, this is the book for you! Garwood pushes the envelope with the bantering between Elizabeth and Geoffrey, but I never felt "get over it already". Their clash of wits is comical, but in true Garwood style, she tailors her readers a fine story where you fall in love with both hero and heroine who are damaged goods. Definitely recommend!
Not as good as her later books but... June 19, 2008
I actually read this book years ago when it was first released. It was Garwood's first book and although it isn't as good as some of her later ones, it IS worth picking up. I throughly loved the story of Geoffrey and Elizabeth. He is ONE stubborn man but then Elizabeth is just as stubborn and for the time, extremely independent. She can take care of herself, which, for Geoffry, is extremely irritating since he expects her to act like other women of the time period and be "helpless".
I have to comment that the ending was rather flat for me. I just expected more to happen with one of the the villains in the novel and other than a final confrontation within the last few pages of the book, I felt there could have been MORE that could have been added. Which is the ONLY reason why I gave this book four out of five stars. Otherwise I enjoyed it very much and couldn't put it down until I'd finished it.
