After reading the first book in this series, I was anxious to see what happened to the second child of Adlard de Blays who was deemed a traitor. This is the story of Landon who was raised alongside his cousin, the future King of England. Can you imagine having to prove yourself and try to offset what your father had done?
Landon does prove himself and is rewarded with a title and estate which he has wished for over the years. As well as being named the new Earl of Briargate while taking charge of the estate, he is to marry the daughter, Cassiana Campton. Cassiana was the only one left after the death of her five brothers and father and she was really shocked to learn she was to wed the new Earl.
But as fate would have it, the two actually fall in love almost instantly which was so heartwarming! Of course it could not be that easy and they are challenged to stay together when danger lurks on the horizon! Will they have their happy ever after?
When I see a new book by Alexa Aston I know it will immediately capture my interest and keep me pulled into the story until the end!! I highly recommend and looking forward to the third book!
Landon de Blays who’s father was convicted and hanged as a traitor has spent his life proving he is an honorable knight. When he was just a small boy his cousin the prince saved him and since that time has done everything he could to untarnished the de Blays name. When he saves his cousins life now the king he grants Landon something he never thought he would have, land, a title and a wife. When Cassiana found out her last brother has been killed in battle and a new Landon is going to be the new Earl she is devastated. Not only has she lost her family she has now lost the home she loves, until she finds out that she is to marry Landon. I really enjoyed story and loved the characters. Both Landon and Cassiana have lots to learn and I loved their journey. This is the second book in this series but it is a stand alone book. I loved the first one so recommend reading that one to.
Landon, a landless knight, but favored cousin of the king, is awarded a title, property, and marriage to the beautiful
Lady Cassiana, who the last in her family. She has lost her parents and siblings to various tragedies and she is all that’s left of her line.
Cassiana is lovely, intelligent, and brave and although both she and Landon are both hesitant to trust the other, each begins to believe that the other has the other’s best interests at heart.
The two decide that it may just be that the king’s decree that they marry is truly a blessing for both of them.
But interference from outside forces attempt to destroy their future together just as it is about to begin. Will they be able to fight the forces that are attempting to destroy the life they have planned?
This is the second book in this series and I enjoyed it very much. I am looking forward to the third in this series as Landon has one more sibling who seeks his future as well.
Another great book by Alexa Aston!
This one was about Landon de Blays and Cassiana Campion, daughter of the Earl of Briargate.
King Edward has made him Earl of Briargate and told him to wed Lady Cassiana. They learned to respect and love each other.
Evil forces tried to put an end to their love but Landon was not going to let that happen!
This is a story that any one would enjoy, I know that I did!!

A marvelous story full of great characters. Our author always gives us a very good insight into the lives of her characters and the times they lived in. This is part of a series. You could easily read this on it’s own but if you want to read the full series it would be best read in order.
I have loved both books so far and can’t wait to read the next.
