Book Review and Giveaway - Knight of Pleasure by Margaret Mallory

From the Author's webpage:
Travel back in time with a medieval knight for a dramatic tale of romance and adventure. Follow our warrior-knight as he meets the heroine—and faces his toughest battle yet. Sparks fly but danger follows, for this is a woman who is willing to spy for a prince, lure an enemy to save a friend, or use that dagger she has hidden under her pillow.
A cast of medieval characters—wily royals, charismatic rebels, unlikely spies, and traitorous relatives—raise the stakes for our knight and his lady. Together, they must face the dangers… and discover the true meaning of love, honor, and loyalty.

My Opinion:

This is the second in the author's All the King's Men series but I didn't need to have read the first book to enjoy the second. I will be honest - I had the flu last week and couldn't do much for three days so I haven't quite finished this book. I am about half way through. I AM enjoying it though. It's a light and easy read; just what I like in between my heavier books. I tend to switch off from weightier books and then lighter books. As with most historical romances the female heroine is strong minded and not typical to the time but that is what makes these books so much fun. She does bow to her father's wishes early but finds ways to butt at the men directing her life after that.

I am sure there will be a happy ending - it wouldn't be a romance without one and that is part of the fun. That and the boy meets girl, boy and girl keep away from each other, boy and girl keep getting thrown together until they ultimately realize they were meant to be.  So Boy and Girl have met but are still struggling but I know TRUE LOVE will out.  As I said, I am enjoying the book; it's a time period I like - Henry V - and right now we are in France. I suspect I will pick up the first one and look forward to the next in the series.

Knight of Pleasure is available at Amazon.com
