Resumen del Editor

Lady Isobel Hume is an expert swordswoman who knows how to choose her battles. When the king asks her to wed a French nobleman to form a political alliance, she agrees. But that's before the devilishly charming Sir Stephen Carleton captures her heart-and tempts her to betray her betrothed, her king, and her country.

Sir Stephen Carleton enjoys his many female admirers-until he dedicates himself to winning the lovely Isobel. So when a threat against the king leads Isobel into mortal danger, Stephen has a chance to prove that he is more than a knight of pleasure...and that love can conquer all.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Mallory has an amazing ability for creating a riveting story, intertwining adventure and history overlaid with great depth of emotion and laced with a constantly increasing level of sensuality. Such depth and sensuality are a rare treat." ( RT Book Reviews)

Knight of Pleasure

Another great story, just love the strong woman in her story. Love having the audio and enjoy his voice!

Read many of this author's books - enjoyed all!

I always am able to stay engrossed in this writer's tales. Although she takes some creative license to increase interest in the story, there is still some history woven into her work. I also like that she never slams the bedroom door in your face so there is some steam in the romantic scenes. Overall, I think she is a good writer and I am never disappointed in her publications.

Loved it!

Very good balance of story and love story. I just enjoyed it. Epilogue was informative.😁

Enjoyable To Some Extent

I guess you would have to live during that time period to truly understand the restrictions put on women. They had no control over their life. They were at the mercy of men, and especially men with power. I did enjoy the characters and the supporting characters as well. Some parts made me ask Why? However, I enjoyed this book.

Meant to be

The series continues with the next couple. I will say that I feel for the women during this time period. Yuk yuk yuk marrying old men to save your family or to make alliances. Yuk yuk yuk, but the one good thing is that people didn’t live long so if you married someone old hopefully you would be a widow soon. This is where this story begins. A widow and a rogue. Such a wonderful story.

So Dumb

Another heroine that runs out into a patch of villians for absolutely no good reason, denies the man she loves out of complete stupidity and acts like every basic girl in every romance novel written. I am not sure why I read this.

Such Weaklings!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

This is the second book of such weak, silly heroes and heroines! Is it an English thing? If so I will stick to the Scottish Highlanders. There is one more book in this series. I will see if it gets any better. The quasi history lessons, sword fights and Derek Perkins' performances are all that save these books.
