A wonderful novel that is full of adventure and love. I was hooked from page one and was enthralled throughout the entire story. Author, Barbara Bettis, has written an awesome novel with plenty of adventure and loads of romance. I highly recommend this novel to anyone that has a lust for adventure and a romantic twist!

Now this is what I call an amazing and wonderful medieval romance story! It has everything you would want in a historical romance and I must say that Giles and Emelin have quickly become one of my favourite couples!!! He is the handsome mercenary knight and she is the "warrior nun" as he likes to call her at first. The story contains intrigue, twists and turns, romance, heartbreak, love, mystery, as well as humour....I'm still giggling at Missy's cat's name! lol I very much recommend this book and even though Barbara Bettis is a new to me author, I will definitely be checking out her other books!

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in return for an honest review.

As a fan of Medieval stories of Knights and their Ladies in the time of King Richard, this book hit all the right notes for me.

It had everything I wanted in it, adventure, betrayal, love, and a good dose of romance. I moved quickly and I enjoyed everything about it.

Emelin of Compton is a true lady. After the disappearance of her betrothed and five years in a convent, she’s been ordered by her brother to marry. On the way to Lord Osbert, a man in need of an heir, her escort happens on a stranger who has killed three attackers and frightened three more away. She takes care of the injured man during the final portion of her journey.

This begins the entwined lives of Giles and Emelin. He’s a mercenary and will never find the comforts of wife, children, or land. He’s also honorable, loyal, kind, and determined that Emelin will be treated like the lady she was born to be, not sold with less regard than a horse.

This book was everything.
