Diana Winslow went to Castle Bannaster
on a mission; she did not know that an act done under the
cover of a servants costume would change the course of her
life. Viscount Bannaster is now dead and his brother Thomas
is now the Viscount. When word comes that Thomas will be
coming to her home to court Diana’s sister, the Bladeswoman
plots to find out if he has discovered who she is.
Viscount Thomas Bannaster, once
destined for the priesthood is now looking for a wife. When
his cousin, the King of England, suggests that he court the
younger Winslow sister he heads right to her home only to be
kidnapped on his way. Even though Diana swears the
kidnapping is to protect her sister, he knows something else
is up. As soon as he escapes, he intends to find out what
that is.
Secrets of the Knight is smart, funny and
sexy. Julia Latham does an excellent job writing these
unusual lives and does so in a way that is believable. The
dialogue feels natural and the characters are intelligent
and well written. I especially liked the opposite
upbringings of the two main characters, the woman trained to
be a fighter and the male punished if he touched a sword.
Not many can write a character that does stupid things once
in a while, but is still smart enough to know that it was
stupid. Secrets of the Knight is the complete
package and that is why I Joyfully Recommend it. |
