Joyce continues her prowess with sweet medieval romance. Dangerous Favor takes us into a world of knights, castles, customs, clothing, sword fights, tournaments, treachery, lovely clothed women, history and the list goes on. All this serves as a backdrop for the love between Etienne and Mathilde, the hero and heroine.I appreciated the purity of Etienne and Matilde and the value of marriage. The obstacles in their path, preventing them from being together, kept me turning the pages. The passion,Probably more like 3.5 stars, but I'm bumping it up to 4 because I'm always so impressed with the research that the author puts into these medieval stories. This book wasn't my favorite of the three I've read -- I just didn't like the main character that well. I also got a bit lost at times with all the characters (who often are called by different names), although having the character reference chart certainly helped. It's interesting to get a bit of political history from the 12th century and
Although I'm not a huge fan of medieval literature, I really enjoyed this book! The characters were real, without being modern. I would have loved a pronunciation guide at the beginning, so I knew how to pronounce things in my head, and a prologue connecting the books (a reminder of sorts) would have been fantastic! Either way, I enjoyed watching this romance develop and seon the edge of my seat at seeing how things turned out! I was absolutely on the edge of my seat at several points in the
I recently learned about Dangerous Favor on LDSWBR. Their review and the sample chapter online grabbed my attention. It's a story with lords, knights, queens, mistaken identity, plots to overthrow kings, traitors, and mysterious "favors". I didn't love the cover, but if you feel the same way, don't let that stop you from giving the book a try. The story is quite engaging.I really enjoyed the interaction between Mathilde and Etienne. Mathilde is young and naive, but she is extremely loyal to her
(Genre:Fiction/historical romance/middle ages) Despite a cheesy cover, I really did enjoy this book. I feel that DiPastena's strength lies in her ability to bring to life the political setting and intrigues present during King Henry II's reign (the 1100's, I believe). She totally shows how precarious court life can be and how the rulers schemed for more power, authority, and riches. This is her 3rd book in the series, and while it helps to have read the previous ones, it is not a must. Each
Joyce is very good at taking a mystery, a romance and a piece of history and mixing it all together for a fun book. I wish I knew a little more about this part of England. I always feel a little lost but now that I have read all three of her books I feel like I know a little more. We even got a little glimpse of the characters from past books. This love story was fun to read and I really had no idea where this book was all going. You know the two will end up together you just don't know how.
Mathilde, a lady whose father has been accused of stealing from the king and is now impoverished, needs a champion to clear her father's name. She accompanies her brother to a tournament to look for one. While there she meets Etienne, a younger son who doesn't have the means to help her. Etienne,charmed at first sight, begs to wear Mathilde's favor in the tournament. The only thing Mathilde has is a ribbon in her hair, which she is keeping safe for her brother. Before she knows it, Etienne takes
