My Lady Beloved

Gabriella Redcliff is kidnapped on her way to her wedding by Duke with a grudge against her betrothed. After a number of fights and disagreements, Gabriella realizes the knight she is betrothed too is not very honorable at all and falls head over heels for her kidnapper. The ending is not totally complete, to be continued in the next book My Lady Wayward

Linda Lael Miller writing as Lael St. James has done it again! This book made me laugh, and cry, which to me is a sign of a great book. Morgan and Gabriella's story will capture your heart after the first few chapters. Set in England 1369 Gabriella is abducted by Morgan seeking vegeance on an old foe Avendall whom Gabriella is betrothed to. But in the end he has captured his Lady Beloved. A good book to add to your summer reading list.

A great adventure full of love and loyalty, a beautiful story. This is the reason most of us are addicited to books!This story is a great one. A MUST read!There is nothing more I can say that other reviews have not, except THANK YOU again for a fabioulus book.

I have been a fan of the author since she wrote series romances long ago. This story reminds me of some of my favorite novels that she has written. The characters are fully developed and likeable - or unlikeable in the case of the main character's evil betrothed.The main female character is a woman whose life has long been ruled by duty to her family and her sisters. She is marrying in order to insure that her family is cared for financially, even though she does not like her betrothed. When she is kidnapped by a man who she finds attractive and exciting, she decides to live for herself and falls in love. The story circling around these two lovers is interesting as well and although not completely unpredicatable, it is presented in a fresh and interesting manner. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that the storyline at the abby with her sisters was hard to follow and did not seem to fit with the timeline of the rest of the story. However, I can't wait for the next book in this series!

In 1369 England, Gabriella Redclift wants a lifetime of love with her spouse. However, aristocratic women have little say in society. Gabriella is betrothed to Sir Cyprian Avendell, a person she does not know having met him once briefly. Cyprian sends for Gabriella so they can marry, but fails to join the escort party. While Gabriella travels near Devonshire, the Duke of Edgerfield sees her as an instrument of revenge for Cyprian destroying his beloved childhood friend Rebecca. However, Morgan Chalstrey never expected to have his pawn capture his heart as he vowed to never love again. MY LADY BELOVED is a pleasurable medieval romance that fans of those historical tales will enjoy. The story line is fun and exciting though it remains inside the sub-genre box. The lead charcaters are intrepid and amusing as they duel with words and love. However, the villain is painted as vile and abusive so that Rebecca never has to face the dilemma of honor vs. love. A Lael by any other name is still a Lael and Ms. St. James provides her fans a delightful couple of nights of entertainment.Harriet Klausner
