Description:
The Earl of
Dentin excels in his position as Securer of the Realm. But the king’s order to
pluck an orphaned child from a loving home unsettles Dentin. When a dark-eyed
woman challenges his honor regarding the mission, Dentin finds himself unable
to justify his actions or get her out of his mind. Something about her lack of
fear intrigues him. Lady Elsa Reeve attempts to avoid the marriage of
convenience her brother and mother demand of her. She understands the need to
pay off her brother's massive debt. She only wants her family to consider her
wishes in the process. As Elsa becomes further entangled in a snare of her
brother’s creating, only one man defends her. But can she trust Dentin, her
unlikely champion, and his motives? With a murderer on the loose, Elsa’s fate
in jeopardy, and a traitor plotting against the king, Dentin finds his
priorities shifting in an unexpected direction.
Since I really enjoyed Duty, I jumped
at the chance to review Honor. After all, I love how Rachel writes her
romances. Yes, maybe there is a little more pre-marital kissing than I would
choose to have in my life, but they are clean and sweet stories with characters
that you can really cheer for.
This book kept me on the edge of my
seat the whole time, as Elsa and Dentin deal with foes that come in many forms.
I really hated every time I had to put down the book and work on a different
task for any amount of time. It is one of those books that keeps you flipping
pages to find out what is going to happen next.
Elsa was a sweet girl who is trying to
save her family from the ruin her brother’s gambling has brought. She was such
a well-developed character that felt very real. Her sweetness was what really
stood out to me. So many female leads are I-can-do-it-myself type girls, and,
while I don’t have a problem with that, it gets old. While Elsa did a lot, she allowed
others to help her.
Dentin was pretty awesome himself. He
was a man of honor (the title really does tell you a lot), who is a bit rough
around the edges. No, he isn’t mean, he just isn’t sociable, but he finds
himself drawn to helping Elsa and loses his heart in the process. I really
liked what Rossano did with his character.
I cannot say enough about this story.
It was just such a joy to read. It had an historical feel to it, even though it
was really non-magical fantasy. It also had a faith element that wasn’t strong,
but added a nice touch.
I highly recommend this to those who
like romance, good writing, and books that keep you turning pages.
I received this book from author in exchange
for my honest review. I was under no obligation to write a positive review. The
opinions in this review are entirely my own.
Thank you, Sarah!
