First of all, the cover of this book is among my favorites. I love how only half of the knight's face is shown, leaving the rest to the reader's imagination. The castle in the background was yet another nice touch. Now on to the story...
I did not find the violence in this story to be one bit offensive. In fact, it only added to the realism in this tale. Some authors get right into the story surrounding the hero and heroine, whereas Ms. Canham treats you to much more than that. Instead of merely...more

O başlardaki sıkıcı kitap nerde,şimdiki kitap nerde :) Kitabı sevdim ben,farklı bir tarihi romandı,eksik olan tek kısım her şeyin geç başlamış olması,yani ilk 230 sayfada karakterler birbirlerine aşkından bahsetmemişti henüz,kitabın 320 sayfa civarı olduğu düşünülürse saçma bir durum oluyor haliyle :) Keşke daha uzun bir roman olsaymış,yada başı bu kadar gereksiz uzatılmasaymış.

One of my favorites by Marsha Canham. The heroine, Amaranth, is running from her abusive husband and the hero, Ciaran, an excommunicated Templar knight, who is quite a tortured soul, gives her sanctuary in his castle.
Kendime o kadar çok kızıyorum ki. Böylesine güzel bir kitabı nasılda kenarda tutmuşum. Afaroz edilmis Tapınak Sövalyesi ve Erkekler tarafından Zulüm görmüs kocasından kaçan asilzade bir kadının kaderlerının bir köyde kesişmesi. Kral Richard zamanını cok güzel yansıtıyordu. Sahsen tüm Robin Hood fılmlerını ve kıtaplarını seven bırı olarak hala daha benim gibi okumayan varsa kaçırmasın derım.Tek kelime ile muhteşemdi.İkili arasındaki aşkın yoğunluğunu ve saflığını yazar o kadar güzel anlatmış ki o...more

For MC this is a surprisingly short read, as she normally goes the epic route for book length. The book takes place right after The Black Wolf's book and happens in tandem somewhat. Ciaran, the Dragonslayer was a Crusader and a Templar, but the outright torture and killing of innocents was taking his soul so he refused to do "GODS" work anymore. For that reason, he was sent home from the Crusades in disgrace and ex-communicated from the church. His parents turned their back on their only son. An...more

I very much enjoyed this story. The beginning threw me off slightly with the setting of the time frame. While it is tagged #4 out of the Robin Hood series, it actually is set some time after the first and mid-way through the second one, while Richard the Lionheart is still alive. The story of Ciaran is that of a tortured sole, from deeds from his past that haunt him to the degree of living a life of seclusion and unable to forgive himself. He was also a monk sworn to celibacy who lost his faith...more

"3.5 stars" This was the first time I had read a novel by Marsha Canham, and although there were, in my opinion, some weaknesses in the story, I was not entirely disappointed. The historical settings, including the brutality of medieval warfare, are described in rich detail, including the appearance of some real historical figures and the use of some medieval terms and dialog.

Marsha Canham is one of my favorite authors and this was a good book but not my favorite of hers. It was more of a straight historical romance and didn't stray too far from the mold. I liked the little connections to her Robin Hood stories. I also liked Tamberlane as a character and liked that his character started as a monk rather than the normal "rogue" often found in historical romances of this time period. Overall it was a nice story and a quick read that I enjoyed.

Tamberlane, a Templar knight who has become bitter and disillusioned after participating in the Crusades, returns to England and lives in isolation on one of his uncle's holdings. Amaranth flees her abusive husband and is subsequently injured and brought to Tamberlane's keep for treatment.
It has a lot of the elements I like, but I never felt that the two mains became all that close or got to know one another all that well. I didn't find their love at the end convincing. And one of the things I l...more

This is the story of a medieval knight and the lady he rescues from an abusive husband. I liked the book and I love this author's other works. Tamberlane and Amaranth were wonderful characters. I just wish there had been more scenes involving their personal relationship, maybe more dialogue or events where they get to know each other better. It felt more like pure physical attraction, I wasn't feeling the love between them until the very end. The descriptions were great but would've fit better i...more
Wonderful book! Story has good characters, excellent plot and although it's a predictable story, it stands out. I would read it again, and anything else by the author.
I really enjoyed this book.
I really enjoyed this book.
Not my favorite. I felt it dragged a bit and I didn't ever get into the characters. It felt stale
Very good medieval romance.
loved it!
Didn't really tie into the previous Rohin hood books. Different from her others, but still well written & Entertaining
