Henry's Spare Queen Trilogy #3
Lady Margaret's Future
A Stranger Changes Margaret's Future
King Henry I is determined to blend his Norman and Saxon subjects into one people—the English—and he is willing to do so by force. When summoned to Court, Lady Margaret expects to marry a Norman lord of equal or higher rank.
However, Henry’s queen has her own machinations in store for Margaret. Unable to refuse the queen, Lady Margaret marries the recently elevated Saxon squire, Alfred. But Alfred’s ascension from squire to lord creates enemies on all sides. With rival plots to take his lands, his title, his life, and now this stranger to whom he is married, Alfred must battle to keep all he has fought to obtain.
Will Margaret and Alfred have any peace to come together as a couple?
Their story is the emotional, action-packed conclusion to Henry’s Spare Queen Trilogy.
Note: This novel contains a scene where Alfred must consummate the marriage during dire circumstances, which may be a trigger for some readers.

I read all the books in the trilogy. I enjoyed the fictional characters and liked learning about how life was lived during medieval times. The characters aren't realistic in many ways and there isn't a lot of depth involved in them. Every character is very basic. Sometimes during my reading I thought this series would be better suited for young adults as a way to get them interested in this period of history.
One of my biggest problems with the series is the inordinate amount of typos in each book, with the first book being really terrible in the amount of errors and the next two only a little better. I wrote to the author twice and mentioned the typos being a big problem but she never responded. Maybe it was not important enough for her to respond. I thought she might appreciate the input but I was wrong. For me, so many typos on almost every page were very annoying and I took off one star because of it.
All in all, if you are looking for some easy reading about the medieval time period, you might like this series.

historical love story
I read and enjoyed the series. Margaret got away with a lot for a woman in those times. She lived in constant expectation of the worst. Ultimately she was loved.
The editing was lacking in this version as well.

Loved it
I loved this complete trilogy. The first book was not edited very well but books two and three seemed better. I don't read many books from this time period and enjoyed it not being a "court" book.
