Love Letters

Conquests, Book 2

By: Emily Murdoch

Narrated by: Katie Bunn

Anglo-Saxon England.

Having built a rich empire and keen to win the favor of the royal court, Hilda and AEligard have little time for their daughter, Catheryn.

But one man, Selwyn, is intrigued by the intelligent and high-spirited girl.

Selwyn sends Catheryn a love letter as a joke, disguising it as though it is from one of her father's thanes. Catheryn is fascinated by the letter, and cannot imagine who would be capable of sending a poem of such imagination and beauty.

When Selwyn offers to help Catheryn identify the mysterious suitor, she accepts, and they start to realise that they have more in common than they thought.

Soon, Catheryn finds herself falling in love with Selwyn instead....

But the strict hierarchy of Anglo-Saxon England stands in their way.

Selwyn, a steward, could never be considered Catheryn's equal, let alone an eligible suitor.

Will they manage to stay together despite the odds?

Or will duty tear Selwyn and Catheryn apart?

Emily Murdoch is a medieval historian and novelist. She is also the author of Conquests and Captives.

Loved listening to this story.

This story gives back the emotions of a young couple trying to establish their feelings for each other now that they are no longer children but young adults at a time in history when it was practicaly unheard of to break through class bounderies and decisions where made by the parents.

I ❤️ clean romances

Looking for an light enjoyable book to curl up with? I definitely recommend this book. And if you can listen to it on audiobook, the narrator has the perfect voice for this book. It’s a sweet read about a young medieval teenager, Catheryn, trying to become a woman in her own right. Enter Selwyn, her childhood friend who seems determined to remind her not to lose the carefree youth he knew her to be many years ago. However, before Selwyn realizes it, he is in love with who she has become in his absence. The rub of course is that now he is just a lowly steward and she is the Lord’s daughter and heir. How could she ever return those feelings?

Loved it

This book by Emily Murdoch was wonderful. Very well written and engaging. I loved the humor in it too. I highly recommend it in the Audible form.

Is it love?

Selwyn and Catheryn are from different social classes so they aren't suppose to fall in love. I really didn't like how he toyed with her feelings. Loved the time period and thought the author and narrator did a great job of switching between these two main characters. Thought the author did a great job of making me feel like I was there.

A Prank Gone Awry

As a result of a prank, two childhood friends discover they have deeper feelings for each other. Good characters and good storyline.
