The Lady and the Knight (Highland Brides)

Rating:
Summary: A beautiful story!
Review: I confess I only bought the book because I was curious that Boden had such an odd name. Well, after reading ten pages I couldn't put the book down. Louis Grieman's writing was witty and wise, and had just the right amount of heartache in it. Not only was this a wonderful romance novel, it was a beautiful book as well. Congradulations on a masterpeice Louis Greiman!

Summary: Constant Trouble
Review: I'm surprised Boden didn't die during some of his battles. The poor guy probably has more slashes than a cutting board. I enjoyed this book very much but I didn't give it 5 stars because I had trouble with all of the evil encounters. There were plenty of very amusing parts that made me chuckle but many that were also frustrating. This couple attracted trouble like magnets. For a knight who constantly felt he was a coward, I would sure like this "coward" on my side. I'm not much into sorcery and amulets, etc. but had I known how the story would go before I read it, I still would have purchased it. It is worth the read.

Summary: A Romantic "Romance"
Review: This was the first of Lois Grieman's books that I ever read and it was wonderful. The characters were funny and real. They made sense, which is more than I can say for most romance novels.

I actually bought the book because of the hero's name. Boden is not what one would expect from a typical hero, where usually the hero is named after some fierce beast (exp: Lyon or Griffyn) However, I'm glad, whatever my reasons, that I bought the book.

Sarah and Boden were wonderful. They were funny and they didn't hate each other on sight like in most romances. Each of them had a good reason for doing what they did, and Sarah had a beleivable reason to keep her secret about the baby. Boden was gentle and kind and his dealings with the Tilly the goat were hilarious.

The plot is the weakest part of the book, it is somewhat jumbled and wanders off quite often on its own little course; but it is followable and in no way distracts from the lovability of the book.

I always know when a book is truly romantic because my heart squeezes and I get all happy feeling, and this book made me feel that way. The hero and heroine falling in love made sense, and for once their love wasn't based around their mutual lust for eachother.

In all, The Lady and the Knight was a lovable, fun, and very romanitic novel. I enjoyed it greatly.

Review: Those of you unfamiliar with Lois Greiman's previous works, her "Highland" trilogy in particular, are in for a wonderful treat with The Lady and the Knight. Not only will you laugh and sigh and cry, you will be searching out the rest of the Forbes clan as quickly as you can!! Let me be of assistance--Highland Jewel, Highland Flame and Highland Wolf.

Ms. Greiman has a sense of humor that will leave you smiling long after you've turned the pages and an extraordinary gift for breathing life into all her characters--from the swaggering hero and determined heroine to the wary children and a mischievous goat. (You'll have to read it. I'm not telling. <g>) Have fun!!!
