5 STARS, MEDIEVAL ROMANTIC HISTORICAL DRAMA

Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

5 STARS Historical Romance Drama that is well written & interesting. There are accurate descriptions of war fighting during this era with the description of what the warriors/Knights wore. A really good accounting of a Knight fully dressed in his armor, while in the midst of fighting falls in a lake; of course, he sinks to the bottom & would have drowned as was the usual happenstance of this situation during this period. However, I stop at what has been said because I don't want to SPOIL the story event any further than I have.
Stephen, is the Lord in charge & due to the tragedy that happened to his man, Thomas, he married his daughter Elizabeth. Going on the fighting between the couple, the tension, it was plain to those who knew them best more than duty was being done. For the Reader there are laugh out loud moments with the tender love or highly explosive anger times.

If you love Historical Romance Drama & especially Medieval, then this is a must read.
If you love Historical Romance Drama & haven't ever read Medieval, then this is a must read.
If you love Romance & haven't ever read a Historical Romance Drama, Medieval, then start with this must read.

If you are expecting the perfect gentleman who kisses hands & stands when a Lady enters a room; then treats Ladies like they are made of fine crystal & might break wrong book. Going on, you are also expecting a Lady who simpers & never raises her voice. Definitely, wrong book. Hahaha, thank goodness this book is filled with characters.

Good book

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2014

I love Julie Garwood's historical romances. These are her best books. This was a wonderful story of Geoffrey & Elizabeth and how their love for each other grew. She was a great character built around the knight. It was a nice, relaxing read and of course, finished in one day. These are a great diversion for the highly charged trilogies I have read. It's a story built on the events of feudal England and how she was going to avenge the murders of her family. It will take you away from all the worries of the day and take you to an interesting time and place.

Romantic at Heart

Gentle Warrior

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

I love most of Julie Garwood's historical romances. I have not read her modern day ones. This is one of my favorites, along with the Prize, Saving Grace, and The Bride. Elizabeth and her brother saw their parents murdered. She is convinced the uncle did it, and is hiding in the woods by herself. Geoffrey sees Elizabeth right before he reclaims the castle, but cannot find her so thinks he imagined it. Then he is wounded and is going to die without help. Elizabeth treats him, and he wakes up and sees her again, but passes back out. She is gone by the time he wakes again. He finds her and marries her the same day. The rest of the book is them getting to know each other and Geoffrey finding out who was really behind the murder of his vassal and most of the family. Geoffrey is the typical harden warrior who thinks that love is not something a warrior needs in his life. Maybe when he is older he might love her then. Then he realizes his true feelings after she almost rides into a dangerous situation. It's a great book. If you like Julie Garwood I would recommend it.

Sexual content medium.

In the end ... love conquers

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2023

Verified Purchase

Geoffrey, a hardened warrior, had to learn to be a "Gentle Warrior." Elizabeth lost most of her family except her youngest brother in a terrible attack on the castle. Geoffrey and Elizabeth meet. She wants to ask him for his help. They marry soon after. Elizabeth's grandfather comes to Elizabeth's home and wonders about the fastness of the event. Both Elizabeth and Geoffrey had a lot to learn about each other and of love. The author is good at putting together the story of the times, interweaving a warrior's loyalty to his king and his men, with a woman and her family and the people in their lives who serve and love them. I really enjoyed this book. I laughed out loud at the end. Thank you, Julie Garwood.

I have this book in paperback, ebook and also a boxed set and I love it. I’ve actually read it three times and I highly recommend getting this book. I don’t really read historical romances except for a few authors. It’s really fantastic and I highly recommend this book.

Love the author ambivalent about the book

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is my least favorite of Julie Garwoods books. The dialogue vacillates between sappy and shaming . I think I had to hand in my women card to read this book. I love most of her collection . Please check out her others books they usually have a fun mystery , humor, steamy romance and well devolved characters.

Julie Garwood hasn't disappointed me yet!

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2022

This might be a little more sexy than some of her other books, but it's an excellent, fairly straightforward Saxon/Norman romance. Intrigue, danger, romantic tension, it ticks all the boxes.

A Must Read for any HR fan! 4.5 Stars

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2008

Verified Purchase

When I first began reading this one, I thought it might turn out to be just like a lot of Garwood's other historicals, which are often somewhat similar (even though I pretty much like all of them), but this one just got better and better. This tough guy hero really loves this tough girl, and his love takes over and he will do anything in his power to protect her. Typical in that, but a great story and worthy read. Garwood just does characters so well.
