Summary: A true picture of England in the 12th Century.
Review: While most historical romances make the Middle Ages almost TOO perfect, I liked the fact that the Love Knot didn't. It portrayed a knight that wasn't always shining and a lady who wasn't always dressed her very best and making great heartfelt choices. The hearth knight was a poor knight, who didn't have his own castle to live in. I really felt I was dropped in the Middle Ages without all the glamour, just the plain truth. They reminded me of everyday people. Thank you Ms. Chadwick!

Summary: I couldn't even finish it...
Review: Whilst some of the period detail is well researched I found the plot predicatble in the extreme. The characters very one dimensional, so much so they might have said "Hello, I'm the evil villan", "Hello, I'm the handsome hero" and so on. As the heroine is supposed to be a herbalist and healer being taught by a "witch", why didn't Chadwick do research into medieval witchcraft? She appears to have read a Wicca 101 book and taken that as historically accurate. A Saxon (yes, SAXON) witch babbling about the Maid, Mother and Crone? Come ON, you don't even have to do a LOT of research to be able to tell the difference between Saxon beliefs and modern Wicca!!! Very poor as far as I got (and that wasn't very far).
