Helpful Score: 16

Possibly the best book Karen Ranney has ever written, and definitely in the top 5 medieval romances I've ever read. Too few medievals really draw the reader into the period, and show the hardships & brutality of daily life. This one does so most convincingly. Sebastian is truly a tortured 13th Century hero, and has probably the mother of all dark secrets for this period in history. Unlike far too many other romance "dark secrets", when Sebastian's secret comes to light, the reader isn't left sitting there wondering why these people are letting such a silly little thing get in the way of their HEA - the situation really DOES look hopeless and completely beyond their control. I chewed a few nails and shed a few tears getting to the happy ending, but the payoff was well worth the wait. A keeper & VERY highly recommended.
Grade: A+
Sensuality Rating: PG-13
