Her Warrior Knight! With the country on the brink of anarchy, hard-hearted soldier Bastien de la Roche will do what it takes to restore calm. So when he captures the spirited Alice Matravers, a servant to the royal court, he uses his charm to blackmail her into gaining an audience with the King. Delectable Alice is not as biddable as Bastien first anticipated - full of reckless idealism, she proves to be somewhat of a challenge. But under her fiery exterior Alice hides courage and kindness, and they are beginning to mend Bastien's shattered heart...
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!
Juste dommage ! Une très belle histoire, des personnages bien construit, une tension sexuelle plus que palpable tout au long du livre mais ... rien ! L'auteur fait monter la tension de manière admirable pour aboutir sur quelques baisés et une scène d'amour plutôt chaste ... Un bon moment quand même
