Finn’s review of Knave’s Honor (King John, Book 3) by Margaret Moore
Historical Romance released by HQN 1 Jan 08
Well just the fact that one of the main character’s names is Finn made me curious about this book. Lady Elizabeth d’Averette likes adventure and she meets it in human form when she encounters the outlaw Finn on the road home. Those who know Lizette know she has more courage than sense. Which attracts Finn like a fly to honey!
Lizette was on her way home from the exciting world of the royal court when she and her entourage were accosted on the road by a man trying to kidnap her and bring her to evil Lord Wimarc. Finn is an outlaw who is desperate to get into Lord Wimarc’s castle to release his brother from the dungeon. Lizette comes up with a plan to pose as a couple going to visit Wimarc to get them in. Once they’re in they have to pose as a married couple, well as you can imagine it gets pretty interesting. Lizette and Finn must find Ryder and escape from Castle de Werre all the while making sure that Wimarc doesn’t discover who they really are.
This is a great love story with just enough suspense to keep you turning the pages.
Grade: B+
His arrow strikes true…
bringing Lady Elizabeth d’Averette face-to-face with the decidedly intriguing Finn—an outlaw with more honor than most knights. When he saves her from unspeakable violence, she agrees to reward his valorous actions. But would sharing his bed—however chastely— prove too high a price to pay?
Finn values courage, a quality Lizette displays in abundance. She joins him in a dangerous subterfuge to rescue his brother and expose the long-held secrets of the royal court, her adventurous spirit seeming to be a true match to his own. But could a noble beauty really care for a common son of the hills of Eire?
