Love's Sweet Sting (The FitzRam Family Dynasty Book 2) by Anna Markland. Historical Romance Release. My Review.

Add To


Aidan FitzRam joins the monastic community at Lindisfarne to atone for what he perceives as his role in his parents' drowning. But he quickly realizes he cannot ignore the plight of Nolana Kincade, a Highland lass who is fleeing an abusive stepfather. Their growing attraction to each other bears out the reality his sister has always maintained—he's just not cut out for the religious life.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Aidan FizRam is devastated by the death of his parents and feels the need to atone for what he sees as his guilt.  Giving up everything and becoming a monk is obviously what he needs to do.  His siblings certainly do not agree.
Nolana Kincade is being sold to an old man by her horrible and abusive stepfather.  She desperately needs to escape.  Traveling on her own is not possible so maybe the Church can help.  
This is a fabulous historical romance that gives us a real idea of the way life was back then. The beekeeping of the monks was particularly fascinating.
The characters are all strong,  brave and loveable. I can't wait to read more of the stories from this series. 
 If, like me, you've read this author's work before you might recognize some of the family names. Each book can be read as a stand alone but will tempt you to buy the rest.

I’m a Canadian author with a keen interest in genealogy. I write medieval romance about family honour, ancestry, and roots. My novels are intimate love stories full of passion and adventure.

Passion conquers whatever obstacles a hostile medieval world can throw in its path. My page-turning adventures have earned me a place on Amazon’s All-Star list.

Besides writing, I have two addictions-crosswords and genealogy, probably the reason I love research. I am a fool for cats. My husband is an entrepreneur who is fond of boasting he’s never had a job.

I live on Canada’s scenic west coast now, but I was born and raised in the UK and I love breathing life into the history of my homeland.

Dieter Von Wolfenberg burns to rid his homeland of the tyrannical Holy Roman Emperor. A plot to kidnap the Emperor’s wife goes awry and her English lady in waiting is stolen away instead.
When the daughter of King Henry I is betrothed to the Holy Roman Emperor, Blythe FitzRam is forced to travel to the foreign court to serve her mistress. Isolated and disdainful of all things German, she is nevertheless drawn to her captor.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Dieter Von Wolfenburg is a Saxon nobleman engaged in the fight against a tyrannical Emperor. This is a war torn episode in European history.  The Roman empire is still trying to regain control.  Our hero is just trying to protect his people.
Lady Blythe FizRam is one of the ladies in waiting to the child betrothed to a foreign noble who sees himself as the next Emperor of Rome.  Our heroine didn't want to follow her mistress abroad but couldn't get out of it.  
There is a lot of of political intrigue and adventure ahead for our characters.  The nobles of the time often had no say in what they or their families had to do.  Betrothing children to a foreign noble was common. 
This story is as usual for this author, full of fascinating history and believable characters. If you have read any of her books before you might recognize the family a the heart of this one.  A marvelous story that will draw you in from the first page to the last.  
I loved it.
