BELOVED HEART is a wonderful completion to the saga of the family of Michel Faurer and Madeleine de Courtnay first told in Ms.Burgess's BELOVED KNIGHT. BELOVED KNIGHT, the first in the trilogy, sets the stage for future books; set in a back drop complete with Templar Knight betrayal and the struggles of Robert Bruce's fight for Scotland's freedom. Next in the saga came the story of son, Rene and his struggle to capture the fiesty Cat Douglass, while struggling with a legacy his father left him. BELOVED HONOR is filled with page turning conflicts rich in anguish as both Rene and Cat find a way to to secure their love and Scotland's future. Lastly the third book in the triology is possibly the best of the first three books. This is the story of Anne Faurer, the daughter, who has her mother's beauty and her father's determination to fight for Scotland's cause. However, she loses her heart to the English Lord who now owns her parent's home. Yet their lives are interwoven as she races to save a brother she loves and possibly lose the only man she could ever call her BELOVED LORD. The ending of this last book leaves the reader wanting more and Ms Burgess doesn't leave her faithful readers hanging. However, she jumps the story up 400 years to another time in Scottish history where admist the turmoils of another fight for freedom, a love is born in the home that was built of Faurer love. BELOVED HEART is a cherished PS to the BELOVED saga. All four books are not to be missed by those who love a tale interwoven in a tapistry that reflects the rich details of Scotland's history where love for one's country is as important as love for each other. Mallory Burgess is one author not to be missed by serious historical romance readers.
