A Knight to Remember

This is a great book by a very talented author. It grabs your attention on the first page and holds it until the end. Her wording provides such colorful detail, you can close your eyes and actually 'see' her story.

Worthy of 10 stars! I wil surely remember this knight :)

My first book by this author and I picked it up on a whim. Boy am I glad I did! Unbelievably awesome is all I can say to describe this heartfelt book filled with adventure and pure heart-stopping romance, the kind that makes your toes curl and sigh...~Lady Edlyn is a skilled herbalist fallen from grace and is forced to accept what little charity she can get from the generous abby that has taken her in. She goes into her place that she finds solice in, her herbal 'kitchen', and is shocked when a man holds a dagger to her throat demanding she tend to a fallen knight he has hidden in her room!Edlyn is in for a surprise when she discovers who the wounded knight is, her long ago love she has not seen in years! She saves his life but now the warrior wants to 'save' her. Save her from a life of charity and drugery, but she will not hear of it!Hugh de Florisoun hasn't forgotten the love Edlyn bore him so long ago nor has he forgotten how he loved her from afar. How had she been reduced to this life? A Lady? A noblewoman of high breeding? The answer comes to him and he knows he must hide a deep secret that will turn her against him forever. For he had something to do with her misery...will his love render past mistakes and past grudges absent or will it make them worse?Filled with battles and knights and the politics of war in Medieval England-1265, this touching story of treason, lies, deception and love is just what makes it a classic now on my keeper shelf. Hugh is a true knight in shining armor and the things he does for Edlyn will make you sigh and your heart to skip a beat...he must heal her broken heart and replace her fear and hatred of men with his undying love...true chivalry.Completely unbelieveable and a sure keeper! I loved this book as much as Judith McNaught's tale "Kingdom of Dreams", and I never thought any book written in this time period would turn my head exceptionally as that one did, but I stand corrected. "A Knight to Remember" is fantastic and Hugh is definately going to make you remember him long after the book is closed...Tracy Talley~@

Absolutely Loved It

I am almost never disappointed in a story by Christina Dodd and A Knight To Remember is no exception. The hero is pigheaded and chauvinistic, but in an endearing lovable way. The heroine is very typical of Christina Dodd's heroines. Intelligent, stubborn, practical and strong. After being thrown from her home with her two children thanks to her deceased husbands treasonous activities, Lady Edlyn makes her was as an herbalist with a convent. Her world is thrown into chaos when a man holds a knife at her throat demanding she help his injured lord. That injured lord turns out to be a childhood companion she was in love with, Hugh. She saves his life, and in return he forces marriage on her so he can take care of her and her children.Edlyn is furious at him declaring her fate for her. She has reservations about him because he is a warrior living a life filled with danger, and she keeps a distance from because of this. A Knight To Remember is a wonderful story, and it accurately describes how difficult it was for women during this time in history.

I couldn't put this one down!

I usually enjoy Christina Dodd's books and this one was no exception. Edlyn is a twice-widowed woman who is living in poverty at an abbey as an herbalist. She is strong, compassionate and disillusioned, the only thing she still owns is her pride. Hugh, is a strong, honorable and brave knight commanding the kings royal warriors. Edlyn and Hugh recognize each other from their childhood days and Edlyn had thought she had long since buried her tender feelings for Hugh. Their reunion, though, is not a particularly loving one. Hugh was wounded in battle and lays close to dying, Edlyn is coerced into tending him by his manservant. Later, Edlyn find out that Hugh is the lord who captured her second husband and brought him to justice. Her late husband was executed for treason to the crown and her and her kids were kicked out of their home, destitute. Hugh is a bit arrogant and chauvinistic - in a lovable kind of way - but he does comes around later on in the book and sees the error of his ways. They make for a strong couple who complement each other. I loved that Edlyn's character was intelligent and proud, she came up with great ways to save them from trouble. She may not have much in the way of material things but she more than makes up for in character. No sappy, whiney heroine here. I think you'll appreciate that for a change - I did.

Bold, original medieval romance at its finest!

Funny, poignant, and wonderfully sexy, this book will keep you warm on a winter's night
