This was my first time reading a book by Jo Beverley and my first time reading a book set in the 12th century. I absolutely loved it. It wasn't so "smushy" as I call some romance novels and I will be reading the rest of this series and more of Ms. Beverley!

Generally 16 year old maidens are a bit too "dithersome" for me. But Beverley did a great job of creating realistic characters. Plus I love those ancient tales of love and drama.

Jo Beverly is an excellent writer. This is a reissue of an earlier work from 1993 when she was writing Midievil rather than regency romance. As always, an entertaining story of passion and adventure.
