A Dark Champion (Brotherhood #6)
by Kinley MacGregor
Blurb:
A Lady of Love
Beautiful, peace-loving Rowena knows that Stryder of Blackmoor is a
warrior, and is therefore a man to be shunned.
But something burns in the eyes of this powerful knight that she has
never seen in others of his kind: tenderness, and a need to love and be loved.
Yet to enter his world would be madness--against every principle by which she
has lived her life--so she must resist the yearning that would draw her into
his arms.
A Man of War
Duty bound to battle for right, Stryder has never desired the comforts
of home and hearth--until he gazed upon the exquisite face and form of the
incomparable Rowena. He dares not succumb to her sensuous charms, for Stryder
is a man sworn to know no love. But when treachery and danger threaten, the
noble knight must stand as the unsuspecting lady's champion--though his actions
could cost him his honor, his heart...and his forbidden dream of happiness.
Mini Review:
This series
is definitely a favorite of mine. I have been a fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon’s
writing for many years but didn’t come to this series until recently. This series revolves around a sexy group of
knights, set shortly after the crusades. This novel is the story of Stryder of Blackmoor
who is a sexy knight that was once imprisoned in a pit by the Saracens. Since his escape his only goal has been to
keep his fellow former prisoners safe and avoid any entanglements with the
fairer sex. Rowena on the other hand is
the quintessential pacifist, an independent woman, determined to use her music
and writing to sway people against war. And she is just as determined as Stryder
to never get involved with a man—especially a knight.
This story
was full of passion, wit, and action. When Stryder is confronted with the sexy
and alluring Rowena, he beings to second guess his choices in life and wonder
if in fact he could have a woman of his own.
Stryder’s sensuality is apparent even to Rowena, no matter how much she
wishes she could continue to hate him.
Forced to spend more time with Stryder when her life is threatened,
Rowena begins to see there is more to Stryder than just the belligerent, infuriating,
and bloodthirsty man she first thought he was.
The love between
Stryder and Rowena is wonderful to watch grow and I was more than thrilled to
see the changes they both undergo as they get to know each other. There is intrigue, action, wit and humor
alongside the passionate story of Stryder and Rowena’s relationship. I can’t wait to read more about this
fascinating group of men and the women that capture their hearts.
