The Devil's Lady

By Deborah Simmons

Book Overview

Was she under a spell or truly the Devil's Lady?

Bid by King Edward to marry one of his knights, Aisley de Laci hopes to avoid the altar by choosing Baron Montmorency. She is certain none will agree to the union, especially the baron, who is rumored to practice the dark arts from his isolated keep.

Renowned in battle, Montmorency has secluded himself at Dunmurrow for reasons of his own. And he does not want a wife, no matter how wealthy and beautiful. But even he cannot defy the king, and what comes to him he takes-and holds.

Aisley refuses to believe that Montmorency possesses any mysterious powers. Yet how else to explain her own growing feelings for a man so shrouded in shadow she has never seen his face?

Really Good!

Really good, great characters, and a heroine I actually liked, a strong Knight and an interesting twist to the story. The book started out good and just continued to get better and better! What a nice surprise.

Fabulous!

Aisley de Laci proud and beautiful, was ordered by King Edward to pick herself a husband from any of his Knights of the realm - but marry she would! So in what she thought would be a foil to the King's plans she choose the legendary Red Knight! The tales of his darkness were the tales to strike terror in the hearts of any who would go up against him. Much to her surprise, the King rather than refuse her request granted it to her - so she was hastily bundled off and sent on her way to Dunmurrow - lair of the Red Knight.Piers, the Red Knight, rather than directly refuse the King's edict took her to be his bride. That was Aisley's first surprise, the second was that all this was done without her seeing her husband's face. Her Red Knight lived in the darkness of this cold and dark castle. How long would it take for Aisley to discover the secret of her Red Knight? This is a book that will keep you up all night long because you are going to be kept in such suspense that it will drive you crazy! Aisley, in spite of her resolve to get out this marriage, is bewitched by the Red Knight - perhaps as all the rumors say - he is immortal, and practices black arts. Who could tell - not I - you are just going to have to stay up all night like I did to find out. Find this book - fabulous read.

WOW, Great Book!!

It's not very often that I read a book that blows me away, or that I can't guess what going to happen next. Well, this book did just that. Dark, Scary, Old Castle with shadows. Piers Montmorency is the Red Knight whispered to be more than a mortal and has struck a devil's bargain. Aisley de Laci needs a husband and claims the Red Knight never believing any of the stories, but when she arrives things aren't right. Start this book in the morning or you'll be up all night.
