Re-read of these books in a convenient boxed set. Loved having them altogether and reading one after the other. Wonderful series.

These three knights, stand as brothers, in their allegiance to the young king Edward, both against Mortimer and his own mother Isabella, but any other enemy of England.
However, they each are men, and each story shows how one individual knight meets his true love. How, although against allegiance to their brotherhood, a woman breaks through the walls that each had built, to be as unemotional as possible, to allow love to take hold and flourish.
The women are feisty, honest and daring. Although they weren't wrapped in armor, are each ready to fight, for their man.
These are dramatic and thrilling stories, set in a time of conflict. Yet these men, and their ladies, show that honor and loyalty to those you love, can overcome the most vile opposition.

I love the Trilogy cuz I love all three of these warriors and it’s nice to see they can be brought low by a woman they love. LoL Personally I would have had Stephen Pembury’s story after Tate de Lara’s and before Kenneth’s Island of Glass, but that’s just me.bit is very nice to be able to have these three together in one place so we don’t have to flip around trying to find out which book comes next. Any Kathryn Le Veque fan will love this book.
FYI, I have listened to a couple of these audiobooks when they first came out several years ago, but since I read them this time, I posted my reviews under each individual book. ❤️ Highly recommend.

Wonderful!
Help! I'm addicted to this author's works! Thankfully, she is a very prolific writer and maybe I won't turn out of reading material for a while. To me, this book centers on the wonderful relationships between Tate de Lara, Stephen Penbury, and Kenneth St. Hever. These men all, friends and close to King Edward, right together and come together as brothers. They find great happiness with women they never expect to wed and come to each other's aid in terrible battle circumstances. I never tire of reading this author's work!

Knights in shining armor
The intertwined lives of Tate, Stephen and Kenneth will entertain you for hours. All exceptionally large men with huge amounts of strength and amazing skills in battles as knights protecting and later serving King Edward, these three men are truly there for each other and closer than brothers. If this trilogy ever became a movie, I would be first in line to see it!

Good set of books
I enjoyed reading these books. I liked the characters and the story lines. There were a few phrases that seemed out of place during this time period but not enough to bother me.
Spoiler alert***The one thing that did bother me is that in the second book Kenneth got married but in the third book he wasn’t. It didn’t make sense. The time line was mixed up. If you could forgive that then the stories were interesting.

Books one & two were better than book three.
There were several grammatical errors shift is a particular pet peeve. Also, pregnant wouldn't have ever been used. The biggest problem I had is the name of St. Here's wife changed from book 2 to book 3. The plots were good. It was the typical strong, beautiful damsel in distress saved by the strong, handsome, died-in-the-wool bachelor knight. But the history was pretty good.

September 16, 2019Well Worth the read
I very much enjoyed the trilogy, the primary characters are written with so much depth, the only problem that I found was you don't need to end a story killing off secondary characters as they become part of the depth of the primary characters of not for disrespect I would of given it 5 stars

Well written, great descriptions, but killing a great character?
I'm partway through the first book of this trilogy and I already resent the author for killing off a young character who was proving to be a delightful diversion and needed humorous relief. I hope this authorly decision makes sense later in the book(s).
I finished the second book and must say I admire the author's writing and story telling skills. However, though I know Medieval times were brutal and life held cheap, I couldn't help being put off by the number of violent events.
One other irk is the author never named the maid who tended to the second book's heroine but always referred to her as "the toothless wench. "
I wish there was a way to award three and a half stars.

Loved this trilogy
Loved these three stories. Each one unique in their own right. Full of suspense, battles, love, hate, revenge and war. The three knights are like brothers, and each share a special bond. How they survive and find love is heart warming.

The Complete Dragonblade Trilogy
A deserving 5 star rating for this emotion filled story. I really loved Ailsa and Edward's scene. Wish poor girl was there to tormen the king longer. I enjoyed all the series and thumps up to climax where all the families are together.

The tale of the blade
A collection of 3 great stories about King Edward III’s knights and the feisty women who love them. Well crafted and spun like a spiderweb, each story, while a standalone, connects to the next, showing the reader the value of friendship. Highly recommended.

The Dtagonblade Trilogy is a great reading experience.
Each of these stories was a wonderful reading experience. Each Knight was a wonderful hero, each lady a beautiful very strong woman. Their love made for a wonderful romantic adventure. I recommend these stories to all readers of romance. I really did enjoy, thank you, Jack.

This is an OK set of medieval romances, but the characters were difficult to like at times. There were a few situations that I found very unbelievable, and I honestly wondered why some of the couples fell in love -- it seemed more like lust than love to me, especially at first on the part of the men. It gets 3 stars from me.
Dragonblade -- 3.5 stars: This was my favorite of the 3 books, because I liked the couple the best. They didn't seem to have anything in common at first, but then soon realized they were very attracted to each other. Tate and Toby were good together, and I liked that their relationship continued on into the other 2 books.
Island of Glass -- 2.5 stars: This one was my least favorite of the set, because I thought Aubrielle was a spoiled brat. She was determined to get her own way, and threw tantrums when anyone tried to stop her. I really couldn't stand her, and honestly couldn't understand why Kenneth fell in love with her. She was NOT loveable at all.
The Savage Curtain -- 3 stars: This one was OK, but Joselyn's early life was incredibly sad. I found it hard to believe that she would have recovered as much as she did, since she had so much trauma as a child. There was no such thing as counseling and mental health treatment in those times, and what happened to her was just awful. I did like that Stephen didn't blame her for what happened, and understood that she was innocent. I also thought it was highly unlikely that she would have fallen in love with Stephen so quickly -- he was her family's enemy after all, and she was forced to marry him.
The near constant reminders of how big the knights were got really annoying after a while. Almost every sentence about them described enormous hands, thick thighs, or something of the sort. I got it after they were first described -- I didn't need constant reminders of their size.
This is not the author's fault, and it didn't affect my review, but this makes several times recently when I've found Medieval romances unsatisfying. There was so much brutality, violence, and barbarism in that time period, and it is unpleasant to read about -- I find it difficult to believe that many couples would be happy in such turbulent and violent times. I also think maybe I'm a little too liberated to handle the way women were treated in those days. Even when a woman had a good husband, she was still his property, and had almost no independence. Maybe I should stick with romances from a more contemporary time period ...
My rating system is below.
1 star -- Hated it, or did not finish. I usually only give this rating if some of the content is truly objectionable to me, like if one of the main characters does something really awful, and gets away with it.
2 stars -- Didn't like it. This rating usually means that I thought the writing wasn't very good, the editing was terrible, I didn't like the characters, or it had other major flaws.
3 stars -- I liked it, but had some minor issues with it. This rating means that there were minor editing issues, the story needed more character development, it was just too unrealistic, or had some other fairly minor issue. The majority of books I read get this rating – I do not consider it a bad rating.
4 stars -- I liked it a lot. This is a high rating for me, and I rarely give a higher one.
5 stars -- I loved it, and will probably read it again. Very few books are good enough to get this rating from me. The ones that do are usually classics.

I've been a big fan of this author since I discovered her first book. She can really write an interesting story that pulls the reader in. However, the usual problems of missing or misspelled words were present.
This set was well done and had the usual super hot knights, damsels in distress and great descriptions of the time and place. I love how the author has a bit of humor in the books even though there wasn't a lot to laugh about during this time period. In Dragonblade, the story of Edward was terrific. The three knights were fun to read about and Toby was a great heroine.
Island of Glass was another excellent story with a lot of action while I loved reading about Kenneth and Aubrielle.
The last story, The Savage Curtain, was filled with emotion. Almost too much at times because it felt like Joselyn didn't do much other than cry. The author had a couple of topics that can be pretty difficult to discuss but were common in that time. I that I have to be honest. I read the epilogue to make sure it was a HEA after a significant event in the story made me wonder how it would end. It was great seeing Tate and Stephen back but for the best part was when Roman and Cade tried valiantly to rescue Stephen. They were adorable and made me laugh out loud a couple of times.The epilogue really filled in a lot of blanks for the different houses and I was able to make connections with characters from some of the author's other books.
Finally, I have to mention the use of cornflower blue eyes and pale blue eyes in the last book that got to be laughable. Who missed that in editing?
