Summary: A true to live mideavil romance!
Review: Rowanne Vaudry is on her way home for the first time in years, after watching her family slaughtered and being kidnapped those many years ago, to marry the son of her tormentor, sealing his hold on her lands. Thomas De'Lucy continues to hold a close friend captive, insuring Rowanne's obedience, but what he doesn't count on is the party she travels with being attacked while en route to Irthing Brandt Le Revenant has finally returned home to his native soil, after many years of fighting in the Crusades. He's been deeded a holding by the King-Irthing Castle. Imagine his surprise when he comes upon a party being attacked on the road, lends his help, only to find out that the party claims that they are escorting Rowanne Vaudry to her family holding, Irthing. He knows there must be trickery about, as no Vaudry had survived the attack on the family and it's holding so many years ago-wasn't his proof in that the King has awarded him the land? Brandt thinks Rowanne nothing but a charlatan, but cannot help but be drawn to her. Her beauty, and her innocence make him want to know what she stands to gain from this deception. Rowanne is drawn to the strong savior, even though she knows he thinks her nothing but a liar. They soon find that they are on the same side, and Brandt becomes her protector, and her love. But how to overcome the hold De'Lucy has on Irthing? And how to get the King to reward him the hand of the woman he now loves, Rowanne? Miss Castle has spun a wonderful, deep tale of love and treachery in medieval times. The story comes alive, with plot twists that continually surprised me! Her writing was so true to life, you can see and smell the passages she's written. If you're a fan of medieval romances, this one is not to be missed!!
