Reviewer: stacey renee (rochester new york) -
Medievil history is not my fav genre so when the story opens with
young Taylor's mother being burned at the stake for infidelity, my "rating" dropped some. This was, of course, a natural way of punishment in that era so is true to the story. 13 yr old Taylor is made to watch this horror by her unforgiving father but runs away from home the same night. 8 yrs later we find the 20 yr old Taylor is a beautiful, swashbuckling, mercenary with a sassy attitude. She is so charismatic and really terrific. Slane Donavon, our honorable knight, is under an oath of allegience to find Taylor and bring her back to marry his brother, thus aligning 2 castles. The rest of the story is based on Slane's efforts to get her back safely, since others want her dead. Lots of dueling with this robust pair with each other and against their enemies. One lovely love scene which creates a moral dilemma for our knight of honor. And a surprise ending when Taylor herself is about to be burned at the stake for refusing to marry richard! A nice story with great, great characters.
