They're who you call when you want pleasure that lasts. A collection of three short stories by Shelly Laurenston, Cynthia Eden, and Noelle Mack.
Rhys, a knight with neither land nor title, cannot win the hand of Gwennelyn of Segrave, but he will always have her heart. Then Gwen is betrothed to another man, and Rhys fears he will lose her forever. Until a surprise offer comes his way - bringing Rhys and Gwen a second chance.
I really enjoyed this book. For anyone who appreciates the writings of Lynn Kurland, this is the story of Rhys and Gwen who, for the most part, are the progenitors of the individuals upon whom the rest of her stories are built. I LOVE that Kurland builds romance without revealing the more private and intimate moments which are better left to the imagination. A strong story with excellent narration. 5 stars for sure.
