7 posts | 6 read | 7 to read
Margerit Sovitre did not expect to inherit Baron Saveze's fortuneseven less his bodyguard, a ruthlessly efficient swordswoman known only as Barbara. Wealth suddenly makes Margerit a highly eligible heiress and buys her the enmity of the new Baron. He had expected to inherit all, and now eyes her fortune with open envy. Barbara proudly served as the old Baron's duelist but she had expected his death to make her a free woman. Bitterness turns to determination when she finds herself the only force that stands between Margerit and the new Baron's greed. At first Margerit protests the need for Barbara's services, but soon she cannot imagine sending Barbara away. And Barbara's duty has become something far more hazardous to her heart than the point of a sword. But greater dangers loom than one man's hatredthe Prince of Alpennia is ill. Deadly intrigue surrounds the succession and the rituals of divine power known as The Mysteries of the Saints. Heather Rose Jones debuts with a sweeping story rich in intrigue and the clash of loyalties and love.

I was really excited for the world building when I saw the author‘s background but most of it read like any conflict over inheritance & it seemed slow to start.
Sweet ending though.

This was a soft pick for me. The writing was good and the romance was not the focus of the book, but it was too predictable for me.

I finally got home today and this was waiting for me. I was worried the rain was going to cause issues since it was outside for a few days. But it looks good!! Can‘t wait to read this one.

Here's my November #BookSpin list! The year is coming rapidly to a close and my TBR has only expanded, but at least I've gotten around to some books I wouldn't have picked up otherwise. Thank you so much as always, @TheAromaofBooks!

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Great list!! 4y

This was a slow burn, for me, and argh the miscommunications in the last third or so of the book drove me batty. Just talk to one another! But I got wrapped up in it and I definitely want to read more in the world.

After six days, I finally finished this book. The final 25% was mostly excellent. The first 75% was mostly . . . *meh*

Thankfully, my Max helped to break the monotony when things got to feeling tiresome.
