jessbookishlife's review against another edition
4.0
Every one probably knows by now that I love fantasy/paranormal and I love historical romances. This book is a historical romance in the medieval times, which is a subgenre I have read many stories.
There is this cozy and escaping feeling about reading a book like this. And for me, it's fun and enjoyable when done right.
I'm not a historian and I don't know if the facts are correct or not. Plus they aren't about the story I learn in school, since they are set in the UK. And it's a translation which changes things... but it doesn't matter really.
I love these book because of the characters' past, their needs and goals, about the interactions and the secrets and of course the drama. And that's what I found in this story.
We have a knight and a lady. We have a mission. We have drama and secrets that we get to uncover as we read the story. We have family relationships and we have disabilities.
Sir Blaidd and Lady Becca... two characters I absolutely loved from the first time they are introduced. Blaidd is a loyal knight, very charming and lovable. Becca is a strong woman, smart and witty, and despite her injury, she never seemed to amaze me.
Reading about them made my heart warm and it was just what I needed. And let me tell you, as soon as I finished reading this book I immediately wanted to read another one. That's how addicted I am to this genre. Plus, I now want to know about Blaidd's family.
Overall, it had all that I wanted in a historical romance and it even surprised me at one point, which was fantastic. I may have to check out the other books written by this author, because I need to see if she wrote more about other characters that are introduced in this book.
