Sir Elric Gadot is the Commander of the Homme du Sang, they are soldiers of the church. At the moment they are serving a Cardinal that has proven himself untrustworthy. Unfortunately that doesn’t relieve them from duty, unless it’s proven that the Cardinal is acting against the church.
Minnette Calleaux has been sent by her mother to England. She is to stay with her uncle until he finds her a husband. That is not something she is prepared to do. She will run away to an aunt she has never met, that way she can live life on her own terms.
We have a particularly nasty villain in this story. He is a killer who takes great pleasure in what he does. When he gets an assignment from a man of God , he knows he is on a Holy mission. That means he is as immortal as he has always believed.
This is a historical romantic suspense with lots of danger and intrigue. There is also some naughty romantic scenes. The characters are complex and obviously form a series where each book can be read alone.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Sir Elric Gadot is a skilled swordsman, a womanizer, and a murderer who’s possessively protective and loyal and vulnerable to the right woman. Minnette Calleaux will not be sold off to some weak-chinned lord, she has other plans of her own trying to escape at every turn. Elric is given orders to escort Minnette to her cardinal’s niece through enemy territory to her betrothed. I loved this story of two head strong characters and their witty banter, sexual tensions and their misunderstandings leading to a roller coaster of emotions. This is an action packed book and the chemistry is smoldering as they journey to into enemy territory to discovery their hearts desire. A great story you’ll love! I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
1414 AD An edge of your seat story that will keep you in an emotional roller coaster until the end! A hero who is almost broken in spirit finds the brothers of the Homme du Sang and becomes the commander, although he does not feel worthy. As he watches he friend Tristan marry Belle Heather and sees from book 1) the love they had for each other, his thought was “If only one such woman existed for him.” His new assignment is to take the cardinal’s niece, Minnette Calleaux through enemy territory to her betrothed.
Well, Minnette is not happy to be forced to marry someone not of her choosing and tries to escape.
Wow, these two need each other desperately and the sparks are flying all over the place!
Rosamund Winchester has written such a visual tale that you can see the landscape and feel the emotions rolling off the characters. Seriously, I felt happy yet tense as to what would happen next! Be prepared to get lost in this story, only to find yourself sighing at the end!! Amazing!
