Damsels in distress and knights of olde
Orphaned and desperate, Imogen of Carrisford flees when a brutal lord invades and takes possession of her castle. There is only one man she can turn to for help: FitzRoger of Cleeve, who is rumored to be a ruthless champion in battle. Imogen is stunned at the very sight of him, yet she dares not trust this warrior to put her desires before his own. But even as she vows independence, she finds herself succumbing to the gentle fury of a warrior's love...
Jo Beverley has another winner here. I almost did not read this book because of a review I read that said the Dark Champion of this book, FitzRoger, had raped a young girl. I don't know where this came from, but it did not happen! FitzRoger did have two men flogged for drunkeness and for raping a young girl.
This was a good historical, and the first book I've ever read by this author. Fun characters and an interesting story!
