This review is from: My Champion (Knights of de Ware) (Paperback)

This book is a great read. Much more action and adventure than the usual "gee, does he like me" fare of the genre. Solid lead characters, with well-integrated deWare siblings hinting at even greater adventures to come, surrounded in an authentic, well-researched atmosphere of castles and moss, empowered heroines and gallant heros. True, if you like the slower, plodding plotlines of Roberta Gellis or Marsha Canham, then this book might not be for you. But if you want the double dose adrenalin rush of an espresso with a Chantico chaser, the deWare brothers deliver!

This review is from: My Champion (Knights of de Ware) (Paperback)

I loved this book! Read it in almost one sitting and was sorry to see it end. Duncan and Linet are a match made in heaven. Can't believe this is a first book for this author. She writes so very well, with humor and sensitivity. Look forward to "My Warrior", Ms. Campbell's second, I guess?!

This review is from: My Champion (Knights of de Ware) (Paperback)

In 1332 Dorwich, Duncan de Ware and his brothers observe the guildswoman waiting at the dock holding letters of marque signed by King Edward. When Spanish Captain El Gallo, a notorious sea reiver, arrives, the woman challenges him for his cargo since his country stole her wool. Seeing the de Ware brood nearby, an irate El Gallo gives the woman his wine. She simply spills her new cargo out on the ground.

Duncan worries about the woman Linet de Montfort and decides to keep an eye on her in order to protect her from El Gallo. In spite of an immediate attraction between them, she wants Duncan to leave her alone feeling the gypsy is bad for business especially for a first year "sole femme. " However, when the Spanish abduct Linet, her only hope for rescue lies with the gypsy.

MY CHAMPION is an exciting medieval romance that provides readers with an in depth look at the fourteenth century. The insider's view enhances a non-stop action plot that engages the audience from first page to last. The squabbling but charming and brave lead couple adds alight touch to a powerful historical romance that deserves sequels starring other de Ware siblings.
