by Meriel Fuller

3 ROMANZI IN 1

Inghilterra/Scozia, 1135/1193
Sullo sfondo delle grandi lotte per il potere le vite di dame e cavalieri di fazioni opposte si intrecciano indissolubilmente.
Abbandonato poco prima delle nozze dalla fidanzata, Talvas de Boulogne ha deciso che non si sposerà mai. La sua volontà vacilla quando incontra Emmeline de Lonnières, la quale, rimasta vedova, ha scelto di dedicarsi anima e corpo alla compagnia di navigazione ereditata dal padre.
Durante un torneo, Tavia di Mowerby viene notata per la sua sorprendente somiglianza con la sorella del giovanissimo Re di Scozia, e il reggente le propone di prendere il posto della principessa per proteggerla dalla minaccia degli inglesi. Ben presto, Tavia si trova coinvolta in un intrigo più grande di lei, dal quale soltanto il freddo Benois le Vallieres sembra in grado di salvarla.
Fiera e indipendente, dopo essere sfuggita a un matrimonio infelice Lady Brianna si occupa da sola del castello di Sefanoc al posto del fratello ed è ormai rassegnata a vivere senza un compagno. Finché non si imbatte per caso nel Conte di St. Loup, appena tornato dalle Crociate.

About the author

Meriel Fuller spent her early childhood with her nose buried in books. After school, she would walk to the town library where her mother was head librarian and happily read her way through the historical romance section. Her love of the past comes from her father, a keen amateur historian who took Meriel and her sister on long hikes searching for ruined castles and medieval villages.

Meriel went on to study English literature at Edinburgh University where she met her husband who was, literally, her knight in shining armor. Breaking her ankle at a party, her future husband gallantly carried her to the hospital and kept her company as her foot was put into plaster. Eight years after they first met, they were married in rural Dorset. Although Meriel has written as a hobby throughout her life, it was only when her youngest child was a toddler that she decided to write a historical romance. She was thrilled when Harlequin told her that her manuscript would be published: a real dream come true!

Reviews

[The Book Coyote · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book takes place in 12th century France and England - a very interesting time period for a book. Although Emmeline is a bit unrealistic and anachronistic, and the history is imperfect, this book is still well-written and enjoyable. Talvas is a likeable character, and while Emmeline is annoying (as most anachronistic characters are for me), she's not annoying enough that I find myself hating her. A good enough read.
