All four of these novels are wonderful. It was a nice surprise to see that the characters from the first book were incorporated into the second one.

The first two stories are suspenseful and mysterious, which makes it difficult to put down the book.

This is the perfect book to read if you want to enjoy the medieval time period; the land of maidens, knights, and castles. Even though each book is somewhat short (little over 100 pages each) it didn't seem to affect the story. This is a great read for vacations or at the beach, or if you have a few afternoons free.

This book has four different stories of brave woman who meet their knights in shining armor.

The first girl,

Arianne:She finds love in an arranged marriage made by her cruel father, but her new husband's past may cause some trouble.

Helena:Runs away from her cruel family and finds love in and safety in the arms of her knight.

Mary:She watches her father die, and continues on with the hard life she feels she has been given. Will love work out amidst all the sickness?

Jeanine:She is being forced to marry a cruel man to save her family from ruin when her life is in danger sill her knight rescue her in time?

This is a good book a bit unrealistic but a relaxing read.

This book is my favorite book ever (second only to my Bible)!! I read it straight through--it was impossible to put down. The best part is that the book is quite thick and the print is smaller than usual, so it's nice and long. Unlike some other books I've read, I wasn't left with lots of questions at the end. My favorite story was the first one about Arianne...this is an especially good one if you like mysterious twists mixed in with the romance. Another reason I liked it was because her husband really represents Jesus to her, even to the point of shedding his blood so that she won't have to. The second story is really good too, because it involves the characters from the first story with some new twists and new people. My cousin is borrowing the book at the moment, and each time I talk to her she is oohing and awww-ing over whatever chapter she has just finished. I plan to read it again as soon as she gives it back!

I absolutely loved this book! My niece saw the title in a book catalog and thought I might like it so my sister ordered it. I loved it! The characters are so real that you can put yourself in their place and feel the emotions of the story. It is as if you are the character in the story. This book is amazing! Tracie Peterson is a wonderful writer!

I enjoyed this book and it's four separate stories. Great CHRISTian romance. Excellent period descriptions.

Very good book. Christian morals, scriptures, enjoyable characters, sweet stories. I loved the first two stories the best. Only wish all of the stories had been a "series" in one book. Started reading it on Monday, was finished by Friday! (Would have probably finished by Thursday, if I had been able to read it in the evenings as well as the during lunch times!) I am reading Tracie Peterson's "Harvey Girls" series; if you have not read any of her books, start with this one, I'm sure you'll agree she makes history come alive!

I thoroughly enjoyed all four of these stories.I just wish there were more Christian historical romances with this theme.Especially if they were also full novels.Each story was very different.

I absolutely loved this book. One of the best books I've read thus far and I read as often as I can. I adored the first story but I also very much enjoyed the rest of the book. I will be sure to read it again one day and recommend it to any one.

This is a really good book by Ms. Peterson of the romantic times of Medieval times and life. It really has four beautiful stories that are romantic and Christian. I highly recommend it.

Tracie Peterson will never be my favorite author.While I was reading these books I felt like I was reading short stories. I did like some of the characters, but I did not especially like Mrs. Peterson's writing style. I am seventeen and read many different styles. Even though I love Christian books I would prefer to read non-christian books like Rosemary Sutcliff's, or the Count of Monte Cristo over this.
