Catherine Kean has
created a beautiful, well-written medieval romance that will entrance
you from beginning to end. The handsome, emotionally tortured Knight
Geoffrey de Lanceau lives to clear his father's name as traitor to the
king. He finds a way to take his vengenance on Lord Brackendale, whom
he believes is responsible for his family's downfall - his beautiful
daughter, Elizabeth. Geoffrey captures her for ransom. He soon finds
that Elizabeth is as beautiful on the inside as on the outside. It is
not only her silkly black hair, blue eyes, and sensual figure that puts
him in a spell, but her kindness that captures him, and he finds
himself thinking of her, more than his quest to clear his father's
name. A sensual dance between them begins which entrances the reader.
Their love grows and becomes the strength and answer to finding the
truth. I found the book hard to put down. Ms. Kean's writing style is
flawless. The characters are so believable and the story so
descriptive, that you feel you are there. As you become enthralled with
the sensual relationship and love building between Geoffrey and
Elizabeth you ask - Who is the real evil? Who is the betrayer? And this
is another enjoyable surprise about this story, as it will surprise you
at the end. The reader doesn't have it all figured out before you
finish the book. This is a book Medieval Romance fans need to put on
their next read list. I look forward to many more wonderful stories by
Catherine Kean.
