I was so excited to read this latest story by this author, and it was more than I expected! The poetry used at the beginning of each chapter was perfect. Maddoc remembers Adalind as the skinny, buck-toothed girl who followed him EVERYWHERE! She first proposed marriage to him at age 5 (if I'm correct)and after seeing her all grown up and gorgeous, he decides to accept her proposal. Maddoc is captain of her grandfather's guard so it's up to him to boot out all suitors that go their castle to ask for her hand in marriage. It has always been Adalind's dream to marry Maddoc and she was finally getting her wish.This story was so well-written. It flowed seamlessly in its narration and sequence.  The author even made you feel sorry for the antagonist, because even though he didn't emanate evil, he was still a decent knight. He had just one flaw that overrode common sense. I kept hoping throughout the story that he would come to his senses and leave Adalind alone and marry someone else because he truly was a good person when he wasn't infatuated with Adalind.I'm so glad Maddoc gave Adalind everything her heart dreamed of, love, to be cherished, and to be his wife.  This book also has some great battle sequences for any man interested in reading this story.This story has it all - romance, great battle scenes, and the best epilogue I have ever read! The author's story-telling history comes into play and one of the most romantic poems I have ever read is included.Count this as one of my keepers on my Kindle!
