I felt like when I started to read this and the heroine introduced herself I knew immediately how it would go. I prefer a bit of mystery with my books. I don't want to be able to guess exactly what's going to happen next. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened. There were a few small spurts of surprise but nothing major. I did find an excerpt from another book, Master of Surrender, that definitely peaked my interest.I was confused by why Mercia would just accept that her father had no dowry for her and just succumb to the nunnery? (sorry, I forget what it's called in the book.) She just kowtowed around to her father and let him dictate her entire life. I found it sad. Although, that could be the time period. Maybe that happened more often then not. She was pretty loyal to her family, although she may have admitted to knowing something and acting on it anyway. Regardless, it was an alright story. I wish it had been less predictable but regardless it was still alright.
