I was looking for a new book for my Kindle, and My Lord Roland was one of my Amazon ‘suggestions’, so I figured I’d give it a try because it had good reviews and was priced at only .99. I’m so glad I read this book, it was great! The story’s heroine, Marguerite, is naïve at times, but she’s also very strong and resourceful. The hero, Roland, is so enigmatic that I’ll admit I couldn’t put the book down because I was constantly on edge about his next encounter with Marguerite. Marguerite knows lit...more
I can't believe how affected I was by this book. I'm very stingy with my 5 stars, but I have to give them to this book because it's haunted me for 2 days.

I enjoyed it but not my favorite romance- the characters did not really make me care that much about them. Also, author needs to stop using !!!!. I noticed this another book I read by her, every sentance has an exclamation point.

Gothic romance in a Medievel setting
If one wants to read 484 pages of how a keep was managed by the lady in charge, this is the book for you. I have not been numbed by so much detail since I read James Fenimore Cooper almost 50 years ago.
It's been years since I've read this one, but I remember it as great fun, and actually, full of little historical tidbits. Good for when you need something a bit lighter.
