Book Description

Publication Date: July 10, 2011
Lady Evelyn Gisborne desires to be a proper young noble-woman, but independence runs strong in her blood. She follows her heart as well as her head, and temptation soon beckons her in the form of a handsome rogue. René Jean- Bastien is clever, bold...and forbidden, for she has been promised to another.

Simon Jean-Carré, Marquis of Laroque, is a born soldier. His life is commited to the pursuit of battle and the honor of the knight's code. When he journeys to the Gisborne estate, his only intention is to meet his promised bride. But he soon finds himself entwined in the life of a most unusual family...and falling in love with the woman he has sworn to keep at a distance.

Evelyn is torn between two loves. Will she choose the man to whom she is promised...or the dashing thief who has stolen her heart?

Charming Love Story August 11, 2011
Format:Paperback
When I heard there was a sequel to Charlotte Hawkins book "The Tempest," I jumped at the chance to read it. THAT story was hot and spicy. It was all about the passionate physical relationship between the two main characters, which is what I like in my romance novels. This new story has a much softer tone to it, but I still enjoyed it.

In "My Lady Gisborne," the love scenes are few, but there was plenty of sexual tension and loads of romance. It's a sweet story, and what makes it great are the characters. There are a lot of names to remember, but I didn't get lost because the author gives each character a unique personality, and they all play off of each other perfectly. There is a lot of humor and conflict exchanged, and it's wonderful.

The heroine, Evelyn, is the typical "Good girl." Some readers might accuse her of being a Mary-Sue type, but I liked her. She's only fifteen, which might seem a little shocking to some. But this is a story set in the 13th century, so it's right for the time. Evelyn is betrothed, like other women of her time. Her intended is a Marquis named Simon, and I have to say, it took me a while to warm up to him. He's a soldier, and good-looking of course. (What kind of hero isn't good-loooking, right?) But he's kind of cold at the start. His life is the knighthood. That's what he does. A warrior can't be all smiles and hugs, right? But of course, there's another side to him...

Enter...Rene, the third part of the love triangle. Rene was by far my favorite character. I love a rogue, especially one as delightful as Rene Jean-Bastien. He's naughty, he's charming, he's clever. Sometimes, I wanted to slap him silly. But I couldn't help but adore him, despite his sometimes bad behavior. I won't give anything away, but I'll just note that not every rogue can be entirely reformed.

I gave this story 4 stars out of 5 because I was hoping for more details about certain characters, but that's a minor quibble. This was a charming and lovely story. Two days well spent.

a great book! July 16, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
this is a great historical romance, and held my interest start to finish. i was given a review copy, and enjoyed the whole book. i chose which man i thought she should marry, then the other, and then the first,and then the second. i peeked ahead 1000 locations, and then went back and continued reading, and changed my mind again. masterful writing! sigh...it all came out right at the end. now i have seen there is a previous book in this series, so i need to put it on my wishlist, so i can find out what led up to this story.

like father, like daughter? can't wait to see!

Surpisingly good! August 19, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I was not expecting a lot from a free book, and an author I had never heard of. But I am very glad I downloaded this book and I enjoyed it a lot! The story is interesting, romantic, and alittle bit different. In different I mean it is not your typical "boy meets girl, conflict, big misunderstanding, truth revealed, boy and girl get together" romance novel. But in this book, that is a good thing! There are a couple of different storylines that go on and both are enjoyable. My only advice....don't be impatient and skip ahead a couple chapter to find out what happens. I did this and wish I hadn't (I can be am impatient reader). You will be happier just to go with the story and you will not be disappointed!

My romantic works are purely for fun. They aren't meant to be pulitzer prize winners, so if you're looking for simple escapism with a few hours of stirring romance, I think you'll find it with my writing. If you would like to join me on Twitter, you're welcome to. My tweets are private, but just send me a note and I'd be happy to connect with you!

My latest story is the third in the Gisborne series, and it's called "The Baron's Lady." You can follow the progress of this story by heading over to my blog at www.fromthequilltip.blogspot.com

Happy Reading!
