This book was an easy read, but mostly in was unremarkable.
The love that 'grows' between the hero and heroin to me seemed to just, happen. It didn't seem to grow at all. He thought she was hot, she though he was hot, so they love each other. I didn't enjoy that aspect of this book so much.
The plots and intrigues were interesting, though predictable. The dialog was good, but not exceptionally so until towards the end of the book. My favorite character in the novel was King Richard, who doesn't come in until the last thirty pages or so.
I gave the book a B because it was well written. It wasn't very original though.
Allis is a dutiful daughter who is to marry a rich titled man, but one she set her eyes on Sir Connor her heart is lost. Connor has nothing to offer her except his love.
