This is the first book I have read from Ms. Tamara Leigh and it sure was such a joy to read!  The characters are very well-developed and seem almost real.  I just loved the courageous heroine Annyn who dresses as a boy to be a squire secretly to enact revenge on the fairly spiritual and noble hero Wulfrith.  Yes, Annyn can easily pass as a boy but in my mind she didn't seem like a woman trapped in a man's body plus Annyn seemed pretty whether she was playing a boy or a woman.  Annyn also grows as a character becoming less vengeful towards Wulfrith and opening her heart to forgiveness and love.  Wulfrith was hard for me to like at first seeming almost impossibly harsh to Annyn making her go through so much physically and mentally that I at first wondered what made her like him in the first place?  As the story moves along both Annyn and Wulfrith both become better people and learn to love each other too.The book has more than just a love story in it there is intrigue, deception, action, horrible royals, interesting plot twists, politics and more information on squires becoming knights than I have read than ever before that Ms. Leigh really seemed to do her research.Yes, God and prayer are mentioned a lot but the book never seemed preachy to me and appropriate to describe Wulfrith.  Also the book does not have over flagrant sex scenes described in it there is an implied love scene between Annyn and Wulfrith after they get married but that is the extent of it.  I rather liked the sexual tension the heated kisses and so forth more than the descriptions and play by play of the sexual act.  I was a little disappointed with the ending though but maybe I didn't want the book to end that is why I rated the book four stars.  I still would recommend the book and would get more works from Ms. Leigh.
