This boxed set the knights of valor is a lovely collection of four full length novels for a great price by some wonderful authors Ms. Denise Domning, Ms. Catherine Kean, Ms. Eliza Knight and Ms. Laurel O’Donnell that I will purchase more boxed sets like this again. I have purchased several books separately and read them from Ms. Domning, Ms. Kean and Ms. Eliza Knight.  The only one I have yet to read and buy any books is from Ms. O’Donnell but I will purchase some more after reading a knight of honor.  Here is my brief review of the books separately and what I would rate it individually overall I rated the entire box set four stars.A knight’s victory by Ms. Knight was a fairly good story there were quite a few spelling errors though but maybe that was a formatting issue.  The meek and abused heroine Alana despite being abused for some reason didn’t endear me to her character.  Yes, she eventually grew a backbone as the book progressed but it was all because of the almost perfect handsome knight and hero Michael.  I did like his character more than Alana.  He made mistakes and unthinkable things would happen but he would fight the odds.  I rated the book 3 stars.I really enjoyed the knight’s reward!  Both characters Gisela the courageous and brave heroine was amazing despite the torment and abuse she suffered from an abusive husband she managed to leave him and find love that doesn’t change from the chivalrous handsome knight and hero Dominic.  There was lots of action, tension, evil villains and plot twists that I kept turning the pages wondering what was going to happen with all the characters plus all the endeavors each of them were facing.  I rated the book 4 stars.I did like the story a knight of honor there was a lot of action, adventure and constant threats that it did get almost tedious to read and unbelievable at times to the heroine Taylor.  Taylor was a pretty admirable character after running away from home she becomes a warrior fighting to stay alive and for survival.  Taylor would attempt to act impassive of most things but really felt very deeply about them and made mistakes.  I found Taylor easily relatable and quite human.  Slane the hero on the other hand was just a little too perfect it seemed in being a knight, his feelings and pretty much everything.  He didn’t want anything or anyone to question his strict code and honor that I wanted him to stop being so rigid in his beliefs break his oath and act human.  In fact I was cheering him on and was actually glad when Slane just couldn’t fight his desire for Taylor and made love to her.  I rated the book 3.5 stars.Summer Storm was also a very good read.  I just loved Temric the guilty hero is who is a bastard due to his feelings of unworthiness refuses to be a knight.  Temric despite not being a knight still follows a code of honor despite fighting his feelings for his ultimate downfall his sister by marriage and another’s wife the heroine Philippa.  I did at first think Temric was silly for not accepting himself a knight even though everyone thought him one anyway!  I admired him yet was yelling at him for being so stubborn in not accepting it but I still couldn’t help but like him.  Philippa I didn’t really like in one sense she acted so strong but then became frightened of her choices.  As the book progressed I did start to like her character more but it just took a while.  There is a lot to love in this story an evil villain, betrayal, family issues, church interference and forbidden love that I rated the book four stars.
