Medievals #3
Stealing Heaven
Marcus of Anglesmore was not at all happy about being betrothed by the king to a woman he’d never laid eyes on. So when the brooding English knight accidentally came across her in a moonlit garden, he was both surprised--and delighted. Intelligent, charming, and beautiful, she was the most captivating woman he’d ever met.
But the magic of that enchanted moment is soon shattered by cold reality: Nesta is not the woman he is to marry, but her sister. Of all the women Marcus might desire, none could be more dangerous than the wild and tantalizing Welsh witch with secret ties to both rebellion and king. For Nesta, no one could jeopardize her plans more than a man who would know the secrets of both her heart...and her body.
Yet the course of their lives--and the destinies of their two nations--will be forever altered as they defy everything to surrender to the most daring seduction of all....

Marcus, who we met in the previous book, Joan's brother, is all grown up.
He already rules alone, without Addis as his mentor, although he still consults with him.
He has a wedding scheduled at the behest of Edward (the King of England), without having met the bride, Marcus is curious, and decides to go to the gardens at night, to see who she is, as she has been hiding from him.
Finds Nesta in the gardens, thinking she is his bride, and takes liberties.
The surprise comes the next day, when he demands to see his bride and realizes that he fell in love with the wrong sister.
More plots, betrayals, espionage, he fights to conquer the lands of Wales and Scotland, the eternal fight for separation from England.
We get a bit of Rhys, Joan, Addis and Moira again.
It is always an added value to continue to show the evolution of characters from previous books.
David also appears again, who went from apprentice to master and continues to be Marcus's best friend.

When she's a hit, Madeline Hunter tends to be a HIT. She has quite an odd writing style - 'dry' is the best descriptor I can think of - which can tend to bleed the passion out of her books, but somehow her first series, the Medieval sextuplet, is dripping with UST.
That's certainly the case here. It's the 14th century, and widowed Nesta ferch Llygan is a Welsh noblewoman whose younger sister Genith has been betrothed to Marcus of Anglesmore, a marcher lord and the King's man. But when Marcus comes by one night to inspect his property, he falls head over heels for Nesta instead. Too bad she's an untrustworthy Welsh loyalist - and rumoured to be King Edward's mistress.
The history here is really interesting, and I can't imagine why the book has fewer ratings than the one after it (not something you usually see in a series). Nesta's nationalism is explored well and I'm glad that any sacrifices she makes are portrayed believably. We did sometimes stray into overly emotional prose - I kept eyerolling at Nesta and Marcus's dramatic recognitions of their conflicting loyalties - but I have to admit that at the end of the day, they really were on opposite sides and it was a life-or-death matter.
There's no OW drama at all; Genith and Marcus never care for each other, and never even get formally betrothed. Marcus is gone for Nesta as soon as he sets eyes on her, and she for him, but somehow the insta-lust wasn't jarring or irritating. Instead the book is drenched in UST. I
It's a shame that Hunter doesn't write like this any more, or in this setting; her early 2000s books are chock-full of mild dubcon and deliciously domineering heroes. Then we hit the 2010s and her slow slide into respectability.

So, after my teenesque righteous rage flame out over Phantom Waltz last night (I've since washed off the eye makeup and restyled the emo hair out of my eyes,) it was a relief to grab this bad Larry and enjoy it thoroughly. I wavered between a four and a five, and still do, so it's absolutely a 4.5.
Marcus of Anglesmore has been ordered by King Edward to marry the heir to an important Welsh estate as a way to stave off any rebellion from the restive Welsh marches. Nesta meets him by accident one night when he sneaks into the garden of the London home she and her sister are staying in. They share a long kiss, some words, and he leaves feeling much more excited about the marriage. Nesta, however, neglects to mention that he's kissed her, the king's former dalliance, and not her sister, whom he's meant to be betrothed to.
The book's action then centers around Nesta and Marcus fighting love and duty in equal measure. Pretty much every allegiance either has sworn to uphold - Nesta to the Welsh rebellion and Marcus to the king and England - stands in opposition to their attraction.
The book's strongest quality is its historical details. Hunter's voice and dialogue is pitch-perfect for the period in diction and syntax. Attitudes and values match the century. As head over heels as Marcus is for Nesta, his duty is to marry her sister, and he doesn't reconsider that duty at all in the face of romantic love. He doesn't consider marrying Nesta until any chance of marrying her sister fails, and then only pursues it because it fits his plans. This is not an anachronistic story about two lovers who toss everything away to be together, but instead a story about two strong-willed people working to stick to their principles while getting what they want.
Now, I consider this a strength, but I can see where other readers would find this frustrating. For the entire book, neither gives up their plans. While Marcus is working to deflate any rebellion, Nesta is working as hard to build it up, and they're quietly betraying each other the whole time. This doesn't end until one legitimately outwits and defeats the other.
What saves this from being exasperating is that Hunter makes both causes sympathetic, though you know which way the wind's going to blow, and their efforts in earnest, while having them openly acknowledge both that they want and love each other but won't be swayed from their causes. Nesta was a strong heroine, but she could admit her feelings, as could Marcus. It was honest deception, somehow, and I appreciated that she got to be a worthy adversary to Marcus.
This might be my favorite of her medievals. I'm a sucker for a strong, proud heroine who never backs down. YMMV.

They’re very passionate with each other. When they’re together, the page sizzles with their chemistry. Loved it, but don’t love politics in romance, which this book is full of. Bleh.
Spoiler
My other complaint is how politically correct this romance is, considering its period - medieval.
There are no rapes, force seductions, murdering, hitting, etc…
The heroine betrays the hero over and over to help her people, and he does absolutely nothing to her.
He timidly locks her up almost at the end, before helping her flee, because she almost got everyone, including himself killed, when she sent a message to the other side asking them to invade, which meant to kill HIM and his people…that’s a huge betrayal…if this had happened in the beginning, I’d understand, but after 80%… wtf
how can you send a message like this about someone you love? Is there a betrayal worse than this? This is completely unforgivable!
and H does basically nothing when he learns of her betrayal. Instead, he helps her flee knowing he could be called a traitor and lose everything.
If roles were reversed, and it was the H requesting her assassination everyone would’ve given this romance 1 star, and said wtf, and yet everyone seems to be fine with this plot. 🤷🏻♀️
He’s not only nice to her but to everyone, even to his traitors, he is kind.
To me, he was too much a beta and that was a turn off.
Worse, the h didn’t deserve someone as gentle as him.
- safe
- no cheating
H is engaged to the h’s younger sister - who is considered more beautiful than the h - in the beginning (MoC), but nothing happens between them.
They’re both not attracted to each other, even though the H thinks the sis “the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life” (why did we have to read this, gross). He doesn’t feel any desire for her.
- h is a widow, also beautiful with an “interesting” face. H is completely obsessed with her.

As far as romance novels go, I was incredibly impressed by this one. She's not as funny as Johanna Lindsay, but still has excellent dialogue as well as believable and smart - really clever - characters. The intrigue of the plot was as good as the romance of the plot, making it a well-rounded story about pre-Elizabethan plotting and highly sensual people. Rather than making the main characters' attraction to each other the entire action, she uses it to heighten and push the action. A really nice surprise.

Een man die echt alles doet om de vrouw waar hij verliefd op is voor de consequenties van haar acties te behoeden is voor mij een romantische held .
Na 2 boeken van M. H. gelezen te hebben snap ik ook waarom ik niet meer boeken van haar 2e hands aangeboden zie worden , de meesten belanden bij iemand in de kast om x op x herlezen te worden .

I have been loving this series and the way Madeline Hunter brings 14th Century England alive. However, this is my least favorite of the three books I have read so far in this series (the first two being By Possession and By Design). Ms. Hunter is a terrific writer, and creates compelling characters with great depth. However, I didn't find the characters as compelling here as in the first two books. Part of it is that the story is told mainly from the point of view of the heroine, Nesta. So, we don't get as deep an insight into the hero, Marcus, as I would like. Also, Nesta is sworn to continue her father's crusade to free Wales from English rule. Although a lot is made of her commitment (and is the explanation for her actions throughout the story), I felt the background of the Welsh oppression by the English was not flushed out enough. I wish there had been more of this background to explain and justify Nesta's repeated betrayals of her love for Marcus in favor of her commitment to the Welsh cause. As a result, at times I found her repeated choosing of the cause over Marcus irritating. Finally, I just found it hard to warm up to Nesta as a character, despite all the explanations given for her actions.
However, Ms. Hunter is such a good writer that I can still rate this book higher than I usually would when I don't particularly like the hero or heroine. It's was actually more of a 3.5 star read for me, but I'll round it up to 4 stars because of the high quality of the writing, and wonderful use of history.

Ms. Hunter did a good job establishing the time period, with what seemed to this amateur reader to be historically accurate details and setting. Her research into the Welsh rebellion was well done. The writing was fine, with well-written dialogue between the two characters.
However, this book severely fell short for me with the main characters. First of all, I'm unsure how two people so diametrically opposed politically and continuously determined to undercut and betray the other could sincerely fall into a romantic partnership. Secondly, it was very irritating to me that Nesta's every thought, objection, opinion, and action was overridden by Marcus's magic P. He seemed much less affected, which left her looking spineless and weak. Perhaps this was also historically accurate but it was hard to read. I probably rolled my eyes at least twice a chapter. Then there was Marcus: who, despite being a self-avowed righteous and honorable man, had no qualms about .
I hate to give such a low rating to a book written by an author I very much enjoy, but I just couldn't stand either character, and that really ruined my enjoyment of the novel in general.

Nesta's heart is caught between loyalty to her homeland, and Marcus, the man who holds her heart. If her treason is discovered, Marcus could easily hold the sword that ends her life.

Estes livros de época são deliciosos. Todo este jogo de amor / ódio leva-nos a ler as páginas como curiosidade pelo que vem a seguir. Ambos entregues a destinos que não escolheram vão em conjunto encontrar o seu destino em comum. Vou continuar a ler esta série 💚

I totally loved this book! I loved Marcus, especially now that he's all grown up and sexy and masculine!! I really loved Nesta too, I loved her fire and determination and sex appeal in a time when women weren't supposed to be as brazen as she was!! I thoroughly enjoyed the passion the author created in this book between these two, it was amazing and it kept me coming back for more just to see what would take place next! I couldnt put this book down because I was dying to see how the seemingly impossible situation that was between Marcus and Nesta could be overcome. In the end I was completely happy, and even more so that like the last book, previous characters made appearances. I love how the author ends one couple's story, but doesn't make them "disappear", so its like the series is a continual thread of all their lives together in this ever growing extended family. Marcus and Nesta's story takes place 10 years after book 2. I am about to start the 4th book in the series, and I am extremely curious to how much time has passed. I strongly suggest anyone reads this book!

This is a fun chase novel with lots of moment of outwitting each other on the part of the hero/heroine and the fun is trying to figure how they will make it together in the end.

A história começa cheia de mistério com personagens com tracos de personalidade peculiares contudo a história torna se chata
March 27, 2022
Leitura agradável em que o mocinho luta com unhas e dentes pela mulher que ama, uma mulher famosa por ter sido a amante do Rei, cuja vida é cantada pelos menestrel. É com esses ingredientes, de história de guerras entre galeses e ingleses que a autora constrói este romance, cheio de paixões, intrigas, com personagens que me cativaram. Nesta!!! é uma mulher forte e decidida a lutar por um sonho, um sonho que não é dela, mas do pai e mesmo correndo o risco de perder o homem que ama ela vai em frente. Mas primeiro terá que vencer a obstinação de Marcus, que lhe ensinará que o amor ainda é o sentimento mais importante de todos sentimentos.

A beautifully told love story during the tumultuous history of Wales and England. Marcus was wonderful yet in a modern perspective Nesta's self destructive loyalty to revolution can get a little wary (as some reviews got board with her) yet understandable given her status in Wales. As always, MH delivers a great read- smart, very sexing with a wonderful ending.
March 2, 2011
As in Hunter's BY ARRANGEMENT, much of the plot depends on the hero totally deceiving the heroine, something that I find quite annoying. At least in this book, the the reader is made aware of the deception, and the hero isn't doing it just because he doesn't want to share with the heroine, or thinks she's too fragile or stupid to understand. Still, not my favorite trope...

Marcus and Nesta
Hunter knows how to write a classic. The history, romance, plot all melded together to create a wonderful, well written story. I like Hunter’s methodic writing style, not excessive in action or dialogue but still moving. The characters are solid and the rustic dialogue sweet and not excessive.

I've become a big Madeline Hunter fan. She always delivers. In Stealing Heaven the author not only entertained me but enriched my understanding of the British Isles in the fourteenth century. Bravo! An all around great historical romance.

I'm not sure why I haven't read a Madeline Hunter book in a while. The ones I've read before were really good (except for one). After DNFing a rather blah medieval, I thought, 'Why not try another of Ms Hunter's medieval books?'
This book is rather subdued and quiet for a medieval story, but it makes up for it with lots of romantic tension (the pining and longing!) and conflicts. It's hard to see how Marcus and Nesta can end up happily together. They're on opposite sides of a war (she's Welsh, he's English). The story is unpredictable, and that's what kept me interested.
The last 15% was meh to me. I think Ms Hunter wanted to show lots of sweet moments between the main characters. Unfortunately, that made their conversations sound weird and forced.
You can still enjoy this book even if you haven't read the others in the series. However, reading the first two books in the series before this one might help you understand better as the characters in the previous books make an appearance here.
Even with its problems, I still think this is one of the better books I've read. It was still an enjoyable read despite the issues. I'd give it 3.5 stars.

As always, this was beautifully written. Powerful, rich with history and complex characters. But it didn't blow me away like her two medieval novels I have already read did. I think I just wasn't a major fan of the plot. I never truly warmed to Marcus, either. He made me feel uneasy at times. There were at least two occasions where he thought about physically harming the fmc, which left me deeply unsettled. Loved Nesta though. Madeline Hunter always writes such fierce and strong heroines – especially considering this was written in 2002.
Not every book can be a 5 star read, even by authors I absolutely adore, and that's ok!

Sobre este livro....
Demorei muito mais a ler este livro do que é habitual. Apesar das personagens serem "cativantes", a história não me prendeu (e até gosto de História!!).
Faltou-lhe qualquer coisa... Faltou-lhe aquele "je ne sais quoi" que me prende aos livros e me faz perder horas de sono pela noite dentro por não os conseguir pousar!

Mistaken identity, lust, seduction and love in Medieval Wales.
Madeline Hunter has a deft touch when it comes to her characters coming under each others' spell.
I had a hard time finding this book in my library system. It was worth the wait.
