The Knight's Bride Kindle Edition

3.8 out of 5 stars 10 ratings

Sir Alan Of Strode Was A Man Of His Word

But when his promise to fulfill his dying friend's last wish saw him marriage-bound to the man's widow, Alan wished his own sense of duty not quite so strong. For the Lady Honor was
not aptly named. And how could he, a man of truth, ever trust a bride who had already played him false?

With a babe on the way and a rejected suitor in hot pursuit, Honor needed a protector she could control, not a Highland warrior. Alan was proving to be the most intractable of husbands, and what was worse, the rogue had somehow managed to scale her defenses, and lay siege to her heart….

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Highland warrior Sir Alan of Strode is aptly called Alan the True, because he refuses to lie. The one time he stretches the truth, he soon learns to regret it. At the deathbed of a friend, he is asked to read, and hopefully agree to, this friend's wishes as written in his will. Sir Alan?illiterate though proud?pretends to read the will and agrees to what he says he has just read. Too late, he realizes he is obligated to marry his friend's pregnant wife, Lady Honor. The mischievous lady needs a protector against her irate father and a rejected suitor, who threatens to appear and cause trouble at any moment. Like Sir Alan, Lady Honor hasn't always been honest (she secretly changed the wording of the will), and she too will soon suffer the consequences?possibly with the loss of all their lives. Stone has done herself proud with this delightful story that incorporates a cast of endearing characters and a fresh, innovative plot.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Mystery and suspense always claimed a place in Stone’s novels because danger and enforced proximity lend an edge and conflict to a relationship! Everyone loves a protective hero. However, often it’s the heroine who saves the hero’s bacon in her books! Strong women and warrior type guys abound in her family, so she finds plenty of inspiration for the attitudes of the characters.

Stone’s genre has changed with the latest novel, The Mayhurst Murder. This one is a mystery written as L. J. Stone. If you want a steamy romance with a dash of danger, choose one she has written as Lyn Stone. Her books are available on Amazon.com and other online book stores.

Stone began a writing career with a mystery/romance, The Wicked Truth, in 1997 and has since written over thirty traditionally published novels and novellas. These books have been translated into sixteen languages for readers around the globe and she is a winner of the coveted Maggie Award for Romantic Suspense presented by the Georgia Romance Writers.

A few former occupations include draftsman, illustrator, historical painter and portraitist. Art is now relegated to a hobby because “writing is such fun.” Stone is a native of Georgia, lived in Texas and Germany, traveled across the U.S.A. and most of Europe and currently resides in Alabama.

    I haven't finished this book and I don't intend to. Alan is a great guy and very lovable. He grants his dying friend's last wish and marries his wife...well, widow so she could be safe from her abuse father. Alan is very kind to her and her daughter, which he helped birthed. He gave absolutely no reason for Honor (HA! What a name) to treat him as she did. Her father was abusive but that was honestly no excuse for her treatment of others. Like all other horrible female leads in other books, she ran away. Alan went to get her back. He should have just let her go. You can't help but to understand how she could have deserved a sound thrashing. Alan should have taken the baby and left her.

    After Alan took her back, she actually had the nerve to know if he would ever hold her again. Horrible, horrible woman. I'm getting rather tired of reading so many cold, heartless women in books. Maybe my expectations are too high. Why do women authors make women leads so heartless?

    Some may disagree but one thing that is for certain is that this is definitely not a romance book. Sure there's sex but, for me, a romance book must have romance coming from both parties. Sounds simple, but sadly the majority of romance books I come across these days are full of resentment and dishonesty. Not very romantic. Even if Honor did some much needed groveling at the end it is far too late in my opinion.

    I hate giving this a low rating because I adore Alan. He was so unique and his sense of humor was funny (and not lame like in other books). I just wished he had ended up with someone equally as caring.
