Though I suppose if I had been given in marriage at age 13 to someone three times my age, I wouldn't exactly be looking for love there either.

Marriages were business deals and the bartering goods were the offspring.<br /><br />There are instances of love between marriage mates, but of course the allure of courtly love addressed the business of marriage not the possibility of love within that business arrangement. They were a wild group back then, lol!<br /><br />Be sure to stop by Over Coffee, where your review is up and you have comments.~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-68532931537312145342010-02-22T13:05:39.508-05:002010-02-22T13:05:39.508-05:00I knew some of this, but certainly learned somethi...I knew some of this, but certainly learned something new today!<br /><br />AshHot Ash Romance Novelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10633691302884163101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-78042468020982766892010-02-22T11:59:28.907-05:002010-02-22T11:59:28.907-05:00The serious trailer peeked my interest but the fun...The serious trailer peeked my interest but the funny one got me to buy the book when it comes out. Great blog too, very interesting! It's too bad how greed, it's the only word I can come up with, tarnishes the marriage between two people. I can't imagine having sex with someone who is my 'husband' because of land or money or power. I wonder if the rich still look at marriage like that, or are they all like Paris Hilton, anybody and everybody?Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611630330433014861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-25351650622144530562010-02-22T11:39:11.107-05:002010-02-22T11:39:11.107-05:00See, this is what I love about this blog -- so muc...See, this is what I love about this blog -- so much interesting info!<br /><br />I enjoyed the book trailers, especially the first (the funny one).

And here I thought the Regency was a tad harsh in matters of love! Yikes!! It sure must make writing a romance novel in that era extremely difficult, which is probably why it isn't too popular of an time period for romance novels. Kudos, Amanda, for cleverly taking it on! Now I am VERY intrigued! <br /><br />Thanks for a great post. I LOVE these history lessons, naturally.

I read once a talk between a married countess and a knight about courtly love at a party her husband was giving and it was so much fun. So formal, but they were talking about which part of a woman they preferred, the upper, or the lower and in such a way that both sounded completely chivalrous. LOL!
