A romance-genre for teens, thinly veiled as historical fiction, with a Christian focus. Evangeline's thoughts and attitude were entirely modern, there was no attempt to portray people as they were in the 1300's. Historic veil: we are told the appropriate clothing, and there is mention of the peasant's revolt of 1381. Yet the landlord's son (at least 17 yr old)spends his time fishing & running errands for his mother.
Heard as an audio book. I did not finish it. (

I bought this on impulse after reading the first chapter. So glad I did as it's a very satisfying medieval romance with depth in both characters and plot. I'm now interested in reading more by the author. (

Good book.

This was a good book. However, it's just not my favorite. I didn't feel much of anything for anyone. I like to cheer for the hero/heroine and wonder how they will get from point a to point b. The set-up of the story was okay but I just didn't see much in terms of character development. (

Medieval romance with a fairytale flair, this is a quality romance, which is something I do not find often. Excellent characters, a not too predictable plot and a beauty who knows how to throw knives and use a bow and arrow–i personally could not ask for more. Appropriate for all ages but definitely written for an older YA audience. (

“Westley leaned down and pressed his lips to hers. “What is this?” Evangeline pulled away. The priest was giving them a horrified look. She hadn’t known his eyes could open that wide. “Are you kissing in the Lord God’s chapel? There is no kissing in the chapel! Unless it is to seal a marriage vow.” Westley stood and kept hold of her hand. He did not apologize. He only nodded at the priest as they left, and he led her down the steps. “I’ve never been asked to leave the chapel for kissing before,” he said. “Are you sure? Because you don’t seem very embarrassed about it.” “Why should I be embarrassed for kissing the woman I plan to marry?”

“A world without a kind young man who wished to help a servant girl read the Bible, who smiled often, and who bandaged a servant’s blistered hands would have been a sadder world.”

“They hurried away, Westley’s hand on her elbow as he ushered her away from the house. “As I was saying.” Westley cleared his throat. They were walking across the grassy area in front of the castle, headed back to the road that would take them to the meadow and the festival. “Yes?” “Would you ever consider marrying me, a man without a title, if it meant defying the king?” “Yes. I would consider it.” Did he say what she thought he said? It was not exactly a proposal of marriage, but very nearly. Her insides seemed to go numb at the thought of being so close to her greatest wish coming true. They stared into each other’s eyes.”

“She shouldn’t long for his kiss. She did not know what the future held for her. But she did long for it. Her heart ached with longing.”

“Her smile was captivating. He actually stumbled as he walked away. Evangeline hid her amusement behind her hand as Westley stumbled. He was nearly as clumsy as she was.”
