Just Perfect

Tim Gerard Reynolds does one heck of a good job!
Loved this one. Wulff & Christiana aka Julia are one good team. She is wise and witty and he is the real hero who comes to her aid.

A Tender Hearted Wulfe

This second book in the series The Champions of Saint Euphemia, was a delight to read! It always warms my heart when I find a book where the hero is valiant, yet tender hearted. I like the way this author seamlessly weaves together several stories that occur at or around the same time without seeming to miss a beat. Oddly enough, the way she described how Juliana became Christina, was in fact an often seen, factual occurrence, of the times. It wasn't like she made her choice lightly. For all of Wulfe's bluster in the first book, you might be surprised to discover the reasons behind his actions and how similar the two lead characters actually were. Since I am not Catholic, I am not familia with all the Saints, though have often been intrigued by their stories, so I was amazed at the amount of research that had to have gone into this book. I also bought and listened to the audio version, narrated by Tim Gerard Reynolds. I love listening to his narrations as he seems to bring heart to an already well written book with his gifted ability to pull you into the story. If you enjoyed her series The Jewels of Kinfairly, you should be very happy reading this series as well. I would easily recommend both book and audio to all my friends!

enjoyed even more than the first

although this book rehashed many of the situations from the first book 'The Crusaders Bride" we see them from the perspective of Wulfe & Christina. They were a wonderful couple. I wish Audible had the rest of the series (unsubtle hint)

A great way to travel back to Templar Times

What did you love best about The Crusader's Heart?

The stars of this show are not as opposite as you might at first think and the beautiful ending and the courage and endurance of her heroine make this a real stand out.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Wolf because of his noble character

Which character – as performed by Tim Gerard Reynold – was your favorite?

Wolf

this crusader captured my heart

I thought the first book in the series was awesome, this second story is even better. I didn't really like Wulfe in the first book, but did he change my opinion in this one! He is more than lovable and I admire the way he made his way in life keeping his integrity solid, his tender heart, despite the hardship. And Christina... more than meets the eye, and her story is equally heart wrenching. As usual Ms. Delacroix takes us on an adventure to remember and gives the characters the HEA they so deserve.
Really enjoyed Mr. Reynolds telling of this story, he made me forget that I was actually listening, it felt like I was there watching the story unfold. Thank you!
