Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
After fighting the French for England's king, Lord Senet Gaillard is awarded the return of his ancestral lands, on condition that he marry Lady Katharine Malthus, daughter of the man who received Lomas Castle when Senet's father was executed for treason. Senet arrives at Lomas with his band of knights, and Katharine appears to accept her fate--until night falls and she flees, hoping to locate a distant cousin to beg his protection. After Senet forces Katharine to return, the couple discover their mutual attraction and resolve to work together for the sake of the villagers. Though the supporting characters add lively secondary love stories, and Paul (a.k.a. Mary Spencer, Lady's Wager) provides intriguing details of 15th-century castle life, this promising romance misses the mark by meandering to its ending. (Aug.)

4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining story, August 14, 1999

By	Elaine Davis (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews

This is an enjoyable story about Senet, whose father died a traitor (we never know if he was guilty or not or what he was guilty of doing). His childhood home, Lomas, is now held by Lady Katherine. Having proven his loyalty to the crown in battle, he is given Lomas back if he marries Katherine. Well, Katherine wants no part of a marriage, her father was nothing to brag about and her betrothed, Lord Hanley, hasn't been seen in years and she hated him when he was around. The marriage takes place and though there are more than enough misunderstandings, the only big obstacle to their happiness turns out to be Kieran, Katherine's rogue cousin, who shows up impersonating Hanley. The ending ended to quickly. I wish more detail would have been provided, I think I would have been able to identify with the characters better. I hope that Kieran shows up in Ms. Paul's next story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story in this Saga of Brides, June 27, 2002

By	M. Rondeau (West Springfield, MA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is another good story that follows the Bride series that Susan Paul Spencer has written of. The hero Lord Senet Gailard has been off fighting and proving himself as an honorable knight after the shame that he had borne because of his father being condemed as a traitor (unfortunately, it was never proven in either this novel or in the Bride Thief, where Senet was first introduced. After proving himself loyal after 10 years of fighting, he is given a boon, the chance to reclaim his family estate, provided he wed Lady Katherine who now rules over Castle Lomas.

Senet arrives at Lomas with his band of knights, and Katharine pretends to accept her fate--until night falls and she flees. Senet of course,finds her and forces Katharine to return. Senet proves to be a fair Lord and they both discover their mutual attraction, but of course never mentioning to each other that it exists.

The secondary characters, provide good background and the story flows quickly. The introduction of Katherine's cousin Kiernan who she had posing as her long lost betrothed, does give some very good humorous dialog. The story is good but did end awfully quickly. Deadlines perhaps, otherwise would have rated a 5*.
