Aug 30, TJ rated it liked it Shelves: Rhys and Gwen are soul-mates of the love-at-first-sight-never love-another kind. He is merely a knight, however, and she is betrothed and must marry another.

That "other" just happens to now be Sir Rhys' Lord and Rhys is ordered to be her 'man at arms' and forced to watch all the atrocities her husband deems to afflict her with. As the catastrophes and pages mount to keep the lovers apart, I just wanted to get to the end of the book so someone could be happy and find some peace! With 50 less p Rhys and Gwen are soul-mates of the love-at-first-sight-never love-another kind. With 50 less pages and almost that many fewer hardships, the book would have been great.

Sep 25, Carolyn rated it it was amazing Shelves: I usually read this wonderful series every couple of years. I see I have been remiss and need a sighworthy series that will put that smile back on my face. This is it for the next couple of weeks.

Going home to visit old friends. Rhys and Gwen de Piaget are the beginning of an amazing English family dynasty. I just love it. Guar I usually read this wonderful series every couple of years. Guaranteed to make me smile, despite these particular characters' trials and tribulations. Jun 26, Bridget Vollmer added it Shelves: I found this too unexciting and dull to continue. Very clean G-rated romance. Cute simple chivalrous tale of true love over coming all obstacles, but it drug on too long in spots. May 20, Diane rated it it was ok Shelves: This is written more like the traditional, historic 'romance' tale, not the taudry term it has become.

Spoiler This is a tale of almost-unrequited love. Unfortunately, Gwen is empty-headed, daydreams whenever Rhys kisses her, and is headstrong just enough to give everyone troubles and not to do anything constructive or helpful. She's totally not worth the years of toil, fighting and stress Rhys puts in to get her. If not because of a whimsical Grandfather who withholds information a plot device This is written more like the traditional, historic 'romance' tale, not the taudry term it has become. If not because of a whimsical Grandfather who withholds information a plot device I abhor none of Rhys's suffering would have been necessary.

Certainly not Rhys and Gwen having sex, then her going to her wedding bed with her husband the next night and having several of his children. The plight of the poor, especially the women, whom the bad guys rape, is looked over. As is Rhys illegitamate son Nicholas, found by accident, fathered on a village girl abducted for the bad guy's pleasure, but used by Rhys instead on Gwen's wedding night. How chivilrous is that?

A flawed book, and not as good as many of her others. I read Kurland as a stress-reducer between other books. She's funny, the characters aren't usually cardboard, the women aren't usually stupid. She's the only romance author I read. She has a great imagination, and is usually satisfyingly happy in this unhappy world. This book, however, wasn't my favorite.

Dec 22, Brooke rated it it was amazing Shelves: I loved this book, but it was damn angsty. Gwen and Rhys went through hell and back I truly expected Robin to turn out to be Rhys's I was waiting for the reveal, but it never came And Nicholas, does she never intend on letting Rhys know he fathered him? There journey was heartbreaking at times, Most of the time actually Rhys has the patience of a Saint They all added so much to this story I am sa I loved this book, but it was damn angsty. I am sad I can't get more of them, but I am exciting to continue with the de Piaget's stories Rhys and Gwen had a million obstacles thrown in front of them and still managed to end up together.

There were a few things I felt were left unfinished that should have been addressed, namely view spoiler [ the question of Nicholas's father I don't think it was Rhys. I think it was Rollan using Rhys's name hide spoiler ]. Without a doubt, this author knows how to write a truly romantic story that made my heart do flip-flops. Kurland is now one of only a handful of authors who write in this less-explicit style that I can genuinely say I thoroughly enjoy.

de Piaget Family Series

Rhys is a prince among men, exactly the kind of hero who can make me swoon. Rhys takes his duty as a knight very seriously, deeply prizing the knightly virtues of honesty, gallantry, and most of all chivalry. It was so sweet that he even saved himself for her, not wanting any other woman in his bed. Beyond loving Gwen, he also loves and accepts her children as his own, treating them the way a father should.

How could a romance reader not fall in love with a hero like that? Gwennelyn was a headstrong lass from a very young age. When she meets Rhys at the mere age of nine, she demands that the vaunted knight champion her against her enemy, another young man who locked her in the pigsty. When he did as she asked, she fell in love with him on the spot, giving him her favor like any good lady would. But Gwen giving voice to her tender regard for him is what set Rhys on his determined path to earn enough gold to bribe the right people into giving him land and perhaps a title so he could marry her like they both wanted.

She was a fierce protector of her children as well. Stars in Your Eyes. The last thing she expects to discover in the peaceful Scottish countryside is a pristine medieval sword…or to suddenly find herself facing its very vintage owner in a far too authentic castle.

Phillip de Piaget has run out of patience with his recalcitrant Scottish betrothed and is determined that she will join him, once and for all, in front of the altar. Only the lass he captures fleeing his would-be keep seems more interested in running away from him than talking to him. In fact, she seems to have no idea who he is.

But taming his reluctant bride is the least of his worries; it seems someone else wants him at the chapel…in a stone box. As for Imogen, how can he let her go, when she holds the key to not only the castle, but his heart?

But instead of making a surprise visit to her brother there, she winds up shipwrecked on the French coast with no memory of who she is or how she came to awaken in the dark and forbidding castle of an equally brooding lord. Gervase de Seger rescues—very reluctantly—the bedraggled urchin he finds on the road and puts her to work where he can ignore her. Unfortunately, he soon realizes that her brother is an intimidating lord who is going to be absolutely furious when he learns that his beloved sister has been laboring as a scullery maid.

Finding the truth propels Gervase and Isabelle from the buried secrets of half-ruined keeps to the glittering French court, and to the realization that love can blossom in the most perilous circumstances—and in the most unexpected places of the heart. Stephen de Piaget, a stuffy medieval studies scholar who seems determined to get in the way. Stephen de Piaget has been leading a double life: Medieval studies scholar Tess Alexander is thrilled for the chance to live in a medieval castle.
