Her Blushing Hero

Sapphic Lady Knights, Book 3

By: Mariah Rae Birch

Narrated by: Kimberly M. Wetherell

A runaway witch makes a deal with a retired lady knight…

After a career-ending injury forces Sir Hildith into a reluctant retirement, she retreats to a secluded cottage in the woods to recover, not at all looking forward to peace and quiet. But what she discovers instead is a beautiful baker who fills her belly with butterflies as well as bread.

Escaping a dark past, Lola settles in a small village, eager to be forgotten, make good food, and keep her illegal magic hidden. The last person a witch should let close is a handsome older lady knight, no matter how tempting her blushes are.

When a family secret brings danger to Lola’s door, she and her three-legged pet rabbit turn to Sir Hildith for protection. The woman who could destroy Lola might be her only safety, and they both risk more than their hearts in the bargain.

***
The third in a series of stand-alone stories set in the same world, this cozy, steamy queer romance is inspired by classic fairy tales. It can be enjoyed alone or in combination with the others in the Sapphic Lady Knights series: Her Pretty Knight and Her Lovely Champion.

An absolutely fantastic story

Just a beautifully written and performed story, I have finished the entire series, and each cook just got better and better. I'm hoping the author continues to write story's. The series is severely underrated and deserves more hype. I highly recommend the series.

Heartfelt Romance

I'm writing this review to encourage Mariah Rae to keep writing more of these! And if this review helps more people read them, then that's great, too.

The characters are full and the romance is heartfelt. The world building is light, introduced narratively, and intriguing. The book is short because it stays firmly focused on its objective- a romance between a knight and her lady. I want to say more but I will refrain from spoilers.

Kimberly Wetherell is an excellent voice actor. She has a good range of tone and accents so that every character is easily distinguishable. Her voice is energetic and it feels like she was as enthusiastic about telling the story as I was about reading it.

Overall, Mariah Rae Birch and Kimberly Wetherell are a fantastic team and I hope that they keep producing these!

Sapphic romantasy for the win!

I have read all of the books in the series and they are all amazing!!

sweet love story, lots of yearning

I usually dont like romance, but this series is a very sweet, longing type of romance.

Not what I expected

I really enjoy the riches to rags and back to riches. Loving people for who they are.
