⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Jessamine De Montfort is the youngest of six siblings. Although she has always been treated exactly like the rest,  she knows she was adopted and maybe that's why she hasn't found love like all the others.  If love can't find her,  she will just have to go and look for it.  Returning home from two years at war for the King,  Sir Marcus de Harte finds everything changed.  He also knows if he stays he might kill his own father.  He needs time to come to terms with it all,  so he leaves. 
Our strong and independent heroine really enjoys her adventure.  She finds out a lot about what she is capable of and who she is.  Will she find love???
Our hero is a good man with a lot on his mind.  Pretending to be just an ordinary man instead of the son and heir of a Baron let's him relax enough to face what he has to accept. 
A very romantic and at times emotional story.  It's part of a series but each book can easily read on it's own.  Every one of them will tempt you to read the rest.  I have loved them all.

Tristan Therolde,  the Earl of Leventhorpe is trying desperately to rebuild his home.  The peasant rebellion cost him nearly everyone in his family.  Once he finds a good husband for his sister he will have nobody left to worry about.  The horses he is about to buy will help him make something of his estate. 
Nan de Montfort is helping at her cousin's keep.  She is training his archers.  As a de Montfort she has had a very liberated upbringing,  full of love and trust. A lot of men think a woman is only good for breeding with. Respect is something she is used to earning. The cold,  but handsome Lord  attracts her,  but his attitude repels her. 
Our hero is terribly sad and has no idea how to change it.  Our brave heroine demands her life will be just like her parents. 
More wonderful strong characters to add to a fabulous family.  I have read and enjoyed every book in this series.  They are all exciting, action packed and sometimes emotional stories.  

I loved it.

Two outcasts come together . . . and find the gift of love . . .

1387 A.D. – As a royal guardsmen to King Richard II, Sir Hal de Montfort places duty above all else. When a royal rebellion threatens the king’s power, Hal is caught up in a political game and winds up losing everything dear to him. Broken in spirit and stripped of all knightly possessions, he begins the long journey to Kinwick, his parents’ home.

Because Lady Elinor Swan wasn’t the expected male heir, her unforgiving father exiles her from Whitley after her mother dies in childbirth. Elinor is taken in by the estate’s falconer and spends years training to be a falconer herself. She rescues Hal when he is injured by highwaymen. As he heals physically and she teaches him about working with raptors, Hal regains his confidence and becomes a better man than the charming, lighthearted knight of the royal court he’d once been.

Will Elinor learn how to fit into a world she’s never been a part of—especially after she fears she will be blamed for the death of a noblewoman who bore her a grudge?

Join Hal and Elinor as they learn about each other and what counts most in life. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lady Elinore Swan was banished from her family home as a child.  The estate falconer took her in and taught her all he knew.  Her memories of her early childhood remain and ensure she has no confidence in herself. 
Sir Hal de Montfort finds himself on the wrong side when the young King Richard faces rebellion.  Feeling shamed and being completely unarmed he begins the long walk home. 
An emotional story about a brave and independent young woman making the most of a very hard life.  Our hero comes from a large loving family , and he knows exactly what he had found. 
This is a book easily read on it's own but it's linked through family ties to the rest of this great series.  Once you read one of the books you will be totally hooked and want to read the rest. 
I have loved every one of them.

1385 A.D. – Knighted on the battlefield for extreme bravery, Edward de Montfort accepts an invitation to serve in King Richard’s guard at the royal court. When the king sends him on a covert mission to Canterbury, Edward hopes success will allow him to win his freedom so he can return home to a quieter life.

Lady Rosalyne Parry loses her parents when she is an infant and is raised by her uncle, an artist of some renown. Due to his failing health, Rosalyne takes over Templeton Parry’s commissions, painting in secret while permitting him to receive the credit since she believes no one would accept a woman as an artist.

Rosalyne meets Edward while he is disguised as a peasant working on Canterbury’s wall, and they fall deeply in love. When Edward reveals his true identity to Rosalyne, he convinces her to come to London—and step out from the shadows in order to become recognized as an artist in her own right.
Join Edward and Rosalyne as they navigate the political waters at court and find a deep, abiding love.

Lady Rosalyne Parry has been brought up and trained by her uncle. He is an artist who is quite successful,  painting portraits for the rich and famous and several works for the church.  Unfortunately he has a health problem that puts their livelihood at risk. 
Sir Edward de Montfort is a member of the King's guard.  He has been sent to investigate a problem in the cathedral city of Canterbury.  Someone is lining their own pockets at the expense of the Crown.  That is definitely not allowed. 
Our characters are young adults that have been forced by circumstance to grow up quickly.  Our hero comes from a large loving family that have been in service to the Crown for generations.  Our heroine has nobody except her beloved uncle and a big secret to keep. There are a lot of very interesting historical facts about the painting process to go with the lovely romantic story. Wonderful characters you can't help but fall in love with. 
This is from a series of books that can each be read on their own,  but are better read in order.  I have read and loved all of them.

Bold in Honor (Knights of Honor Book 6) by Alexa Aston, Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Welcome to Book 6 in the bestselling KNIGHTS OF HONOR series!

1381 A.D. – As the Peasants’ Rebellion spreads throughout England, King Richard counts on Sir Ancel de Montfort to restore order in Kent and Essex. The king commands Ancel to secure Highfield, an estate near London, and houses royal troops there to defend the area. 

Lady Margery Ormond flees Highfield as the uprising begins and members of her noble family are slaughtered. Sir Ancel rescues her in the midst of battle and returns Margery to her home, swearing to protect her. Margery loses her heart to the dashing knight and is thrilled when the king decides to reward Ancel by gifting him with Highfield and marriage to Margery.

But Margery’s stepbrother, Thurstan Vivers, escaped the peasants’ onslaught and arrives unexpectedly to claim his inheritance—and control of Margery’s fate. Can Ancel find a way to wed the woman he loves, despite Vivers’ plan to sell Margery to the highest bidder?

Join Ancel and Margery as they seek an answer that will allow them to unite in holy matrimony.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

When the young King Richard the second came to the throne he needed the most trustworthy men for his personal guard.  Sir Ancel de Montfort was honored to be given the duty. 
When the peasants revolt takes place many of the nobility are killed by the rebels. 
Lady Margery Osmond is little more than a slave in her stepfather's house.  He and his sons are vicious bullies. This behaviour will seal his fate. 
This is an exciting journey into a troubled time in English history.  Our wonderful hero has got a lot of travelling and organizing to do.  Luckily he is well equipped to deal with it all. 
Our heroine is a lot braver and stronger than she would ever have believed.  She needs to be. 
You will be pulled into the lives of our characters and enjoy every bit of it. 
This is part of a series,  but each book can be read on it's own.  They are linked by the family involved in each book.  I have read all of them and they are all marvellous books.

While traveling to her home at Kinwick Castle, Kit is accosted by a band of highwayman, who beat and rob him, leaving him to die. Fortunately, an escort party comes across him and Lady Alys insists they take the stranger home so she can use her skill in the healing arts to save his life.

Alys does what she can to jog Kit’s memory, even as she struggles with her growing attraction to him, knowing Kit was betrothed and must now be wed. Kit also finds his desire deepening for Alys, but he doesn’t know his own name, much less if he has a wife or family. Until he recalls who he is, he refuses to commit his heart to Alys. 

Once Kit regains his memory and realizes he is free to pursue Alys, their road to love is anything but smooth. 

Join Kit and Alys as they overcome events that continue to tear them apart and threaten the love they have for one another.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

At just twelve years old Lady Alys de Montfort is the most sought after healer in the royal court.  Unfortunately even she cannot save her beloved queen.  It's time now to go home to her family. 
Christopher (Kit)  Emory has come back from the disastrous war in France.  He finds there are a lot of the most important people in the land, and his family extremely ill.  There is one person he remembers from his time at court a few years before,  maybe she can help his mother. 
Our incredible heroine suspects who her latest patient might be, but if she tells him, it might slow his healing and she would have to share him.  Our hero has always been very impetuous,  throwing himself into things before thinking about the consequences. 
This is part of a series, but easily read as a stand alone.  If like me,  you have read the previous stories, you will recognize the family.  They are all wonderful and strong characters.  I like to think this really was what life was like. A thoroughly enjoyable historical romance with lots of action and excitement.  Who do we get next,  Ancel maybe???
I loved it.
