I knew from previous reads that Ms. Cosby is an amazing writer, but I think this is my fave so far. I loved that Lathir is determined, stubborn, independent, and not in an insufferable way either, she is courageous and can take care of herself knowing the use of a blade. As I read the story I fell in love with her more and more. With Ronan was insta love for me, his quiet command, loyalty, powerful without being overwhelming, his soft heart. They are quite a match, but their road to HEA is hard and life threatening. The ending though steals the show, I can't tell you because it would be a spoiler but... Many wrongs are righted leaving me with a happy heart. WOW I am still grinning even hours after it. It was perfect.

Now that I've got my emotions under control, I can write a review! Wow, what an ending to this story, I was bawling but in a good way! lol I've always loved reading about the Knights Templar so this book has that added bonus.

I thoroughly enjoyed Ronan and Lathir's story, it's quite an adventure they find themselves in and there's never a dull moment. My heart just ached for Ronan and the more you learn of his past, the more you want to just hold him!! In spite of his childhood horrors, he's grown into such a wonderful and caring man who will do anything to help protect those he's told to protect. Lathir is my kind of heroine, so strong and has a mind of her own, as well as being very stubborn as Ronan learns! lol The two of them together are just so perfect but of course nothing ever goes as planned so be prepared to find yourself unable to put the book down!

I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Found the read too historically technical. I did think it would be more of a medieval romance. The author seems very knowledgeable of English/Scottish history.
