Lady at Arms

He was the vilest of men.

Lizanne Balmaine has spent years honing her skills at arms, determined she will never again be at the mercy of any man. When she comes face to face with the one who stole her future, she seizes the opportunity to exact revenge. Soon he is her prisoner, at her mercy. But something is different about him, something that makes her question her purpose. Is it possible a man can be so changed? More, can she right the wrong that could lay ruin to her family?

She was a question never before asked of him.

Ranulf Wardieu does not seek a bride, nor a settling of scores when his mission for the king places him in the path of a beguiling, raven-haired maiden. But fascination turns to fury when she imprisons him. Accused of wrongdoing, the nature of which she refuses to reveal, he discovers the lady is as skilled at wielding a sword as she is at verbal sparring. When he bests her at her game and his jailer becomes his captive, he is determined to learn what wrong he has done her. However, as they engage in a battle of wits and wills and he glimpses her woman's heart, he discovers Lizanne is a question never before asked of him - one his own jaded heart refuses to answer.

really enjoyed it all around

I enjoyed this book. It is fairly predictable but still enjoyable. Apparently, it is a clean remake...so U appreciate that too. I will be reading /listening to the next in the series!

She’s a 10, but…

She’s a little crazy! But I really liked the ending and the values upheld: chastity and honor.

A female tomcat meets her match!

This is one of my favorite fictional period pieces by Ms. Leigh. A strong hero and heroine in a medieval setting with simple splashes of romance and daring bouts of swordplay and intrigue. It has the right mixture of dialogue and action to keep your attention, along with an excellent narration by Mary Sarah. The narration adds such grace and dimension to the reader's enjoyment. So, if you enjoy a thrilling clean medieval romance, don't miss your opportunity...buy this audiobook.

We'll researched, well written...

The narrator is awesome! I love her voice/s and her telling of the story. The book is well written and stays clean (THANK YOU) and lovely. Great plot, great use of period vocabulary, and historical rettoric.

Feminine & Fearless

When I read the description before purchasing the book I was very intrigued. The mystery of the hero and the confusion of the heroine. The book is fun, serious, extremely interesting, well written, and well performed! You won’t want to put it down. I finished it too fast. I’m just grateful Tamara Leigh has so many midevil tales. I can’t wait to start the next series.
