Release Blitz: Knight Errant by Rue Allyn
Thank you Constance for this opportunity to visit with you and your readers.
I’ve been scratching my head trying to decide what would cause a medieval romance to appeal to readers of paranormal and contemporary romances. For paranormal readers, the other worldly aspects of the European Middle Ages is a common bond. However it is precisely those ‘other worldly aspects,’ which might cause readers of contemporaries to give historical romances—especially those set in the Middle Ages—a pass.
The unifying factor for all romance is the physical, emotional and/or spiritual relationship between the lovers. Without that there is no romance regardless of the period or setting. What I can say about my August 17th release, Knight Errant is that the relationship between Robert and Juliana is intense from the moment they meet to the moment when each must choose despair or love. For me, that intensity is an absolute necessity for any book to be a ‘must read.’
If you’d like more information about Knight Errant or my other books, I’ve included a blurb and links below.
Please leave a comment and let me know what makes a book a ‘must read’ for you.
Knight Errant by Rue Allyn
Lady Juliana Verault gladly left England—and its men—far behind in her quest to live as a Beguine. But the Christian community ceases to provide a safe haven when she’s called to travel to Palermo, Italy, where she’s entrusted with a letter from the pope that could radically change the church’s stance on women. Juliana holds the key to upending the power structure throughout Europe, but only if she can dodge her cousin, King Edward I of England, and his betrothal plans for her.
Edward sets Sir Robert Clarwyn, a knight errant and loyal hunter of criminals and traitors, on Juliana’s trail to retrieve her. Robert has never failed to bring home his target before … but then, he has never encountered a quarry like Lady Juliana, who can befuddle and bemuse him with just a smile.
If he can’t find a way to compel her to return to England, he’ll lose any chance of regaining his family lands and redeeming his heritage. Yet Juliana must complete her mission or risk endangering her gender’s future in the faith.
With danger and intrigue mounting, Robert and Juliana must rely on each other and be willing to risk everything … including their hearts.

ABOUT RUE Allyn
Author of historical, contemporary and erotic romances, I fell in love with happily ever after the day I heard my first story. (Yes, I was a precocious little brat who read at the age of two, but I could hear much earlier than that.) I studied literature for far too many years before discovering that writing stories was much more fun than analyzing them. Heck, as an author, I get to read the story before anyone else. I am happily married to my sweetheart of many, many years. My husband and I share the home of two cats, who condescend to allow me to feed them and clean their litter box. (The cats only tolerate my husband’s assistance when I am not available.)They occasionally permit me to pet them but demand my love and attention as their right. (Funny, my husband demands the same. Could I be married to my cats? Does that make me a trigamist?) Regardless of my specific relationship status with our cats, I am in awe of their feline ability to dominate with half a glance or a mere twitch of tail. Insatiably curious, an avid reader and traveler, I love to hear from readers about your favorite books and real life adventures. Crazy Cat stories are especially welcome. You can send me your words of wisdom… Don’t shake your head at me; all words are wise in one context or another. You can trust me on this; I’m an author. As I was saying, you can send your words of wisdom, humor, and friendship to me at contact@RueAllyn.com. Can’t wait to hear from you.
