Customer Reviews

I love a heroine who can kick buns!

I'm always drawn to stories where the leading lady isn't a dainty little thing, but is instead a strong and fearless warrior. Connie Mason made this heroine tall, muscular and brave, yet still feminine enough to fall into the romantic role. You enjoy reading as "Venora" engages in exciting sword battles, as well as reading her take on femnine tasks such as midwifery.Classic "love ya", "hate ya", "love ya" storyline, but it never gets boring. These two main characters are electric together. I got several laughs out of their stubborn tongue battles. I got a lot of enjoyment out of the firey love scenes as well.My only complaint... Connie, can't you find a better word for the male anatomy?

Another steamy medieval romance!

Connie Mason has done it again - another great read. Connie Mason had always been one my favourite historical romance authors and she never disappoints:-The arrogant Lionheart has been orded by Prince Edward to storm Cragdon Castle, while doing so he spots the White Kight, a slim young worrior on a pure white steed, leading the defending forces. Unable to reach the Kight he storms through the portcullis in search of him but all he finds is a beautiful maiden. Now a different battle begins, one that needs subtler tactics. But just as he thought he had the upper hand, his heart is taken hostage - by the power of love.Once again a fantastic read full of chivalry, tournaments, lust and love!If you liked The Black Knight by Connie Mason then you'll love this!

Connie Mason is a spectacular writer and if You ever come across Lionheart in a book store, buy it because it is fantastic.

Great, must read book

If you love Connie Mason's writing, you will love this book! I would disagree with the previous comment, I think Connie Mason is getting better. She captured both Vanora's and Lionheart's emotions and personality perfectly. Lionheart appreciated and loved Vanora's bold, independent spirit which brought out his love for her in the end. Vanora fell in love with him after she sees how tender he is to her when in the past she has seen and felt the ruthless behavoir of men who tried to rule her land and herself. Connie Mason wrote this in a great historical time and place. I hope she writes more books similar to this book!It's a worthwhile entertaining book to read and to keep as a collectible. Have plenty of time to read this book, it will have you glued to the pages! =o)

Wonderful book!

Lionheart had been ordered by Prince Edward to take Cragdon Castle. That siege was where he first met the White Knight. However, once the castle had been claimed, the White Knight was nowhere to be found. Instead there was the lady of the keep, Vanora. The earlier battle had allowed cover for the escape of Daffid of Deverell and the White Knight. Lionheart soon had a vendetta against the elusive White Knight. In the meantime, Lionheart found himself obsessed with Vanora. His honor refused to allow him to simply claim her as the spoils of war. She was loyal to Wales and Llewelyn. He was loyal to England and Prince Edward. To have her, he would have to marry her. Lord Rhys of Cragdon, Vanora's father, had died the Winter before. His warriors were now loyal to Vanora. But they were no match for Lionheart's forces. Through cunning, she helped her warriors escape, enraging Lionheart no end. Yet as she fought him, she could not stop herself from wanting him. To have him, though, would be a form of betrayal. **** A steamy romance, wrought with betrayal, that will ensnare readers quickly. There are times the book seemed to slow down where romance is concerned. However, it overflows with battles and is historically accurate. It is immediately apparent that Vanora is the White Knight. No reader could NOT catch on to that fact before the castle is even captured. Yet the author kept the battle scenes of the White Knight realistic by making the allusive knight slim, wield a lighter sword, and not be as well trained as the men in that time frame. This is not Connie Mason's best work, by far, but I still found myself hooked in the story and unable to stop reading until the last page had been turned. Well worth your time and money. **** Reviewed by Detra Fitch.
