Grays Hill (Cerny)

Book Reviews
Duke’s staff, his estate and his children, there will be blood.  Blood boiling, curdling and pumping at the rapier speed of desire. A rapier, as fans of armed combat will recall, is a thin sword, used in fencing, thrusting attacks, and in this novel, courtship. The two will feint, stab, lunge, and add insult to injury—while trying valiantly not to fall for and over each other. Kudos to Cerny for creating a female protagonist who can match wits and parry with the best of them. Grays Hill turns romance into a fun sporting event where you find yourself cheering the opponents onto victory. Score, love.

Cerny writes wonderfully, capturing the realities of her chosen time and the constraints of a stifling system, which she does with unimpeachable expertise

I liked the relationship development. Many books are weak on that. This is not immediate lust and sex. Rafe and Oksana have interesting interactions and conflicts for a long time before that happens. What I liked best was how they "desired" each other.
