From Publishers Weekly
Medieval England provides the background for Coulter's latest spirited romance, a tale that pits willful young heiress Hastings of Trent against her new husband, doughty warrior Severin of Langthorne. The union has been decreed by Hastings's dying father, the Earl of Oxborough, to save her?and the castle and estate?from the evil depredations of Richard de Luci. As de Luci's forces advance on the castle, Severin consummates the marriage with practical dispatch. He explains away his harsh commands and brutal deflowering expedient behavior (if Hastings is no longer a virgin, de Luci cannot claim her as a bride), but Hastings feels she has been raped. Seeking counsel from several older women, she is told she must change her attitude and try to please her husband. She takes their advice and, to her surprise, Severin's behavior toward her changes dramatically. Then, just as the relationship begins to grow, beautiful Lady Marjorie, Severin's long-lost first love, arrives at the castle, perhaps, Hastings fears, to try to win Severin back. Compounding her worries is her discovery that the earl had maintained a mysterious second household at Rosehaven, a keep on the English coast. After an angry confrontation with Severin about Marjorie, Hastings sets out alone to find Rosehaven. The secret of the secluded castle is part of the requisite happy ending, but Coulter's (The Valentine Legacy) portrayal of an abusive husband as a romantic hero may leave some readers less than pleased. Although it is presented in the context of the era, her suggestion that a woman can, by changing her behavior, alter the pattern of abuse in a relationship is frightening. The notion that a physically brutal man can be tamed by an intelligent wife is difficult to accept. Major ad/promo; Doubleday Book Club main selection; Literary Guild featured alternate; author tour.

From Kirkus Reviews
To her usual successful mix of romance, humor, and spicy sex talk (think Wife of Bath with a pinch of dominatrix), the author of the Legacy trilogy (The Valentine Legacy, 1995, etc.) adds a rather substantial leavening of Disney-esque animal characters to a story set in 1277 England. They include Gilbert the castle goat, who gives milk and eats gauntlets; Edgar the Wolfhound (to whom Severin of Langthorne ties Hastings, his young wife, when he wants to humiliate her); Alfred, the huge housecat and familiar of Hastings's teacher, a recluse called the ``Healer'' who hates all men until she's smitten with Severin's man Gwent (``that lack-witted oxhead''); and Trist, the cute marten who cuddles beneath Severin's tunic. Besides comic relief, Trist's loving presence signifies to Hastings that the fierce-looking stranger to whom she's been betrothed isn't the scary warrior she first imagines. Severin has just returned from the Crusades to find his brother dead, his mother mad, and his estate penniless. With the blessing of King Edward, he has come to Oxborough Castle in East Anglia to wed Hastings, an heiress. He wants a sweet submissive wife who will give him an heir and leave him alone. Instead, he finds a strong-willed young woman well versed in self-preservation and herbal healing. (Borla root in ale makes a ``manhood'' flaccid; mugwort and primrose heal a swollen nose.) Beneath the usual conventions of the genre and some spirited good humor is Coulter's standard grim underpinning of domestic violence and marital rape--though this time, while not dispensing with them, she does suggest that men are not as deadly as they seem, especially if skillfully handled. Standard bawdy fare, Coulter-style, though the violence may offend the growing number of romance readers who are dissatisfied with rape in any form.

Great Medival Read!!
By J. Brennan
Perhaps those that criticize this book do so not understanding the difference between the sexes during the medieval period and later regency times. I am not as fond of earlier period books but Rosehaven is to me an exception. I loved Severin and Hastings and found their romance very intriging and interesting - certainly not in any ways boring. For a couple that was thrown together in an arranged marriage - they both certainly came together in the end in such a loving and compelling manner - for that period of time it was a true love story. Catherine Coulter is one of the few authors that seems to have great loves stories both in modern times and in the past. She wins again for me with Rosehaven!!

Wow, it really was that bad
By constantjoy
I saw all the horrible reviews and thought to myself "it can't really be that bad." But it was. This book is in no way, shape, or form a romance and I can not believe a self respecting woman (who based on some of her other work, is a very talented writer) actually wrote this. I can not write a review of this with out mentioning the rape, no not coercion, actual forcible rape, and the so called hero was never repentant about it, in fact he seemed to be quite proud. If that wasn't bad enough the "hero" continuously degraded and humiliated the "heroine." I understand it's a historical and at the time it is set, it was seen as perfectly OK for a man to treat his wife this way, but this is fiction. The author didn't have to make it this way. Not all romances have to light and frothy, there can and should be conflict, but this was ridiculous. This book is a feminist's nightmare. After the heroine is abused physically and emotionally by her husband, she finally gets a backbone and decides to leave, but every other female character in the book get together to convince her that not only is all of this her fault, but also that she should correct it by initiating sex with this man. Reading this book was like watching a train wreck, you know its bad and you really don't want to see it, but you have to keep looking anyway. I made it to the end of this book because I kept hoping that somehow these characters would do something to truly redeem themselves (although some things are unforgivable). Instead all we got was a fake HEA, there was no change of heart, no understanding of things done wrong, no admittance of guilt or remorse, just a near death experience and an abrupt I Love You from both parties. I have never in my life seen a character less deserving of a happy ending that Severin. Unless you want to be upset and disappointed I would not recommend reading this book, at all, ever, because yes it really is THAT bad.

Disturbing
By Susanne C.
What worries me with books like this one, is what impact they have on young women reading them and is given the impression that this is love.
Severin is a clear cut psychopath. When he rapes Hasting, he tell her she forced him to do it and he finds him self considerate that he use some cream so he don't rip her totally open. Note, nothing is ever his fault, no matter how bad he treats her, the clear mark of a psychopath.
Regarding Hasting, well is that really love or Stockholm syndrome? Her ladies is naturally a product of their time and enablers for Severins abuse. Only one with lick of sense is the Healer. And the most charming creatures are Trist the marten and Severins mother.
The two second in command Gwent and , also seem to have way more sense and respect for women then their commanders Severin and Sir Richard. No idea why Gwent is described as lack witted. He seems to have a EQ mile above his master.
Some of the rewires criticize Hastings attempt to harm her husband and her rebellion against him. Personally I wished she bashed his brain in with a mace every second page.
