I want to preface this review by saying that Historical Romances are not normally at the top of my reading list. It' not that I don't like them I just have other preferences I prefer to read. That being said I am glad that I got a chance to read this one.I am going to admit this story started out a little slow. I really had to push myself to keep reading through the first few chapters. It was about chapter 5 I think that story seemed to suddenly pick-up and I was hooked. I love the interactions between Rowena and Jonathon, and the intrigue surrounding the Grey Knight just kept me reading. A couple of times I thought the romance was playing second fiddle to the intrigue but it wasn't completely over powered by it. The sexual interactions between Rowena and Jonathon were scorching but in a totally appropriate middle ages manner. My favourite thing of all in this book is the jousting tournament.I love a book that keeps you guessing and this one certainly did. Though I did figure out who the Grey Knight was never did I expect what he reveals at the end.The one downfall for me was - as I find with most self-pubbed pieces - it feels like it could use a good proof read. The thing is, though it was a little disruptive to the story flow, it didn't really detract from the reading experience.Overall I would give this a 4 out of 5 and I totally think with a little polishing it could be a five star book.
