This was the first book I ever read from Jude Deveraux. It was recommended to me by my high school librarian.
Book Description

At the flower-bedecked altar, the first touch of their hands ignited an all-consuming passion. Gavin Montgomery looked deep into her golden eyes and burned with desire for her...but his heart had been pledged to another.
Humiliated and alone in a strange castle, Judith resolved to hate this husband who took her body but rejected her love...never admitting her fear of losing him.
But destiny held another fate for Judith...a fate that would keep at last...The Velvet Promise.

This book is full of intrigue. I was very captivated by it. The web of deception weaved by some characters was rather interesting.
Judith our heroine is a spirited woman even though she lived a sheltered life. She is beautiful, smart, and does not back down. Though she is used to violence in her life, she seeks love more than anything.
Gavin our hero though handsome and strong is very naïve about people. Having not been a normal teen for having taken on the responsibility of his family estate and brothers his only connections to love and women are those of the court and Alice.
When these two are married they both want love and happiness but getting to that point will take a lot of growing up. Both need to learn to communicate, forgive, and most important trust. This book was good. It was like a spy movie you never knew for sure who was playing what part and who was good or bad.
I enjoyed the heated arguments the couple had and the attraction for one another was intense. I thought they really did well together and I look forward as the series continues to see them grow as people and as a couple.
