The Disgraced Knight’s Redemption
A disgraced warrior…
Torn between duty and desire!
Sir Tristan must win back his honor. His orders from King Edward are simple: seek out the leader of Pwll Du Castle—the unmarried Lady Catrin—and demand she leaves. As Tristan is renowned for his lethal charm and handsome looks, how can she resist? But when the beautiful Welshwoman comes under siege from her covetous neighbor, Tristan finds himself fighting for her! Yet, is it a losing battle? For securing the castle and fulfilling his knightly duty will mean letting Catrin go…
My Review of the Novel:
A classic Mills and Boon medieval romance, this is the third book in a related series, but also stands alone.
As I hadn’t read the other two novels, I never really understood the details of the disgrace Sir Tristan had suffered, but it didn’t stop me caring. It was clearly not his fault, and he was clearly an honourable man who just wanted to help out his friends (who’d had their own adventures in the previous books) and a great knight. He had a mission to fulfil on behalf of the king so he could overcome his ‘disgrace’. That mission, which he chose to accept, was to convince a young Welsh heiress to leave her castle and lands and go to court, so a man could take over. Typical Medieval Misogyny…
The only problem was that she and her castle and small group of very loyal people were already under attack, about to be besieged by a treacherous neighbour who wanted her lands and castle.
Sir Tristan to the rescue! He, being a capable (and incredibly handsome) knight, trained the people and helped them withstand the siege. But he still intended on taking her to the king after, and fulfilling his mission.
What he didn’t reckon for (and neither did she) was the instalove and mutual attraction they’d find in each other.
How could he complete his mission when he was falling for her? How could she look after her people when she was distracted by him?
All in all, a lovely romance with themes of love, found family, redemption, honour, and ultimately a satisfying ending.
If you love classic love stories with a medieval flourish - castles, sieges and the like, then this one’s for you!
