Review:
For Love & Honor by Jody Hedlund is like a fairy tale. Inside, readers will find a rich noblewoman with a secret. A secret that could keep her from marrying and one that might lead her to a disastrous life. Then, there’s a knight. He needs protection for his family. By marrying, Lady Sabine, he can do just that. It’s amazing what these two charcaters would do for love and honor. Thus, this title fits in well. I felt an instant connection to both Lady Sabine and Sir Bennet. Both are at war with their struggles. I found it unique. Especially, Lady Sabine’s issue. Not too many heroines have her issue to worry about…I loved how Jody Hedlund created an original plot that still had that fairy tale feeling. The ending was perfect. Sweet, engaging, and romantic.
For Love & Honor offered more than just an engaging rich romance. It also brought readers like myself suspense, danger, and quests to fill. An emotional journey that could turn for the worst at any moment. I wasn’t sure what to expect for the outcome. I was deeply fascinated from beginning to end. Jody Hedlund has a knack for creating a fictional world where I completely lost myself. The world in which Lady Sabine and Sir Bennet live within was promising. Overall, I would highly recommend this historical romance to all.
