Touching Love Story (B+ Grade)

Spencer writes a touching story dealing with two semi-tortured characters but is still able to have some lighthearted moments. This story is one of her most distinctive medievals and a sequel of sorts to her earlier book "The Vow". The reader now sees Thomas grown up but with some faults, as being too gruff and insecure around women. He is not even sure how to kiss the right way let alone make love to a woman. Amica has much more pressing problems by dealing with an obsessed madman who wants her for his own pleasure and tyrany. Amica is rescued by Thomas, who is the adopted son of Eric, the former hero from "The Vow". Amica at first comes across as a timid and scared soul, but underneath she is strong willed as she tries to deal with the pain and death that has followed her throughout her life. When Thomas and Amica meet, sparks and some laughs fly as Thomas has no clue on how to deal with this woman. He can hardly think when he is around her, but still wants to be with her. He constantly blames her for his "sickness" as he calls it. But Amica, gives it back to him. Through Thomas, she grows her courage and willingness to speak her mind without any reprecussion. The love between these two grows slowly and will make the reader smile at both their antics. The villian, Duncan is truly horrible and sadastic. There are also many secondary characters that round out the story including Eric, Margot and their children. Start with The Vow and then with Honor. Both are very nice romances with a touch of intrigue and the basic knowledge that good will win over evil. Katiebabs The Vow (Harper Monogram)

What a Fabulous Story

This was not one of your run of the mill medeival stories. Yes, the Lady Amica of Lancaster was divinely beautiful. She had escaped a cruel and evil baron and the King, her cousin had ordered Thomas of Reed to find and rescue her - to guard her and bring her back to Thomas' Lord Eric of Reed as swiftly as possible guarding her with his life. Thomas of Reed, however, was not your typical male hero. He had the finesse of a bull in a china shop when he finally got around to courting Lady Amica. He was a real 'in your face' kind of guy who was absolutely precious! The part where his liege Lord Eric was trying to instruct him in how to court a Lady was so funny. Here was a grown man, a Knight feared by most all of the army of Reed, having to be instructed in how to speak and court this lady. Priceless, absolutely priceless!The tenderness, the awakening of love - what a story! This was a fabulous book. It will hold your attention and you will not want to put it down! Hard to find but well worth the search. Terrific - a medieval Beauty and the Beast!
