Definitely a great romance novel! I enjoyed it from beginning to end. I love when an author brings "new" characters into historical fiction novels. So many hist. fict. books are about well known people in history (not that it's a bad thing!!) but it's cool to hear from the perspective on the time period from the eyes of someone new, even if they are a completely fictional character.
I was immediately drawn to Chloe. She's a strong, intelligent woman who is able to make it through several sticky situations. The hero of the novel, Alexander, is the perfect romance novel hero. He's strong and also has an angry, devilish streak in him that makes women want to tame him, and those are definitely MY favorite kind of romance heroes-no one wants a pushover.
The connection between Chloe and Alexander is pretty intense. How they hold out as long as they do is beyond me! The author, Eliza Knight, went into some pretty steamy detail about the love scenes between the two of them.
This novel was not just about steamy sex & knights in armor, it also has a great story line, and two characters that you really want to root for, did I mention the steamy sex scenes?
I would definitely recommend this book to any historical romance novel fans. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
I give this novel five out of 5 stars!

Unfortunately after the initial attack on the keep I struggled to stay focused . However, once Alexander saves Chloe about 100 pages in, things finally picked up and I started to feel more of a connection with the characters. The remaining two-thirds of the story held some unexpected twists and turns which were a complete shock. Kudos to Ms. Knight because I never saw them coming.
The Rebecca angle however was a bit discouraging. I kept waiting for her to make good on her "promise" but apparently she was all talk and no action because we never heard from her again. I realize we hear third person that she hooked up with Maude but I expected Rebecca to try something herself at the very least. We don't even find out if she remains at the keep.
Overall, once I got beyond the initial 100 pages or so I found myself interested in the story and looked forward to finding out what happened between Alexander and Chloe.
