The Last Knight

This is my first book of Candice Proctor and happily not the last. THE LAST KNIGHT is one of the books recommended to me. To my dismay, I didn't pick this book up sooner just because Candice Proctor was unknown to me. shucks! I didn't really pay much attention to it until I decided to check the ratings. The all "5 stars" rating and the intriguing comments turned me into buying this book. I am truly thankful for all the reviewers who have left their helpful comments... not only did I have a fabulous time, I found myself a new worthy author to look into. I totally agree with the rest of the reviewers here... Indeed, this book is captivating! Full of love, passion and adventure. It was a lovely change to read a hero and heroine expressing their love to each other from the very start of the story. No hesistations, no pretentious, no denials. They love each other, said so and showed it with passion. This book is about a knight with a dark past who swore fealty to the King and a young Lady who is caught between loyalty, treachery and family honor. Damion and Attica are both honorable people. They both have set the same high standards of values. Attica: proud, strong willed, courageous and loyal. Damion might not admit it willingly but he is chivalrous, loyal and a true gentleman. So what happends when all these honorable traits (especially Loyalty) hinders love and happiness? What to do when values and strong beliefs stands between love and life? Which path to choose? Ah, truly a heart-stopping, heart warming read. A very entertaining book! I can't wait to read more of Ms. Proctor's works.

This was a captivating story. The love story between Damion and Attica was tender and passionate. It was refreshing to read a romance novel where the basis of the story was not revolving around sex. I believe the book was so much more enjoyable because you were thoroughly involved in the story line. Candace Proctor wrote a beautiful story that allowed me to feel the joys and sorrows of this tale. I have read "Night in Eden" also by Candace Proctor but must say "The Last Knight" was by far a better read. This love story is one of the reasons I enjoy reading historical romances. If you have not read this book I strongly recommend it. I don't think you'll be sorry.

I swear, Candice Proctor's writing gets better and better with each book. THE LAST KNIGHT, her most recent book, is what I believe to be her best novel yet. Full of adventure and true romance, it's a story that fits perfectly in the romance genre. Attica d'Alerion and Damion de Jarnac are the most passionate characters that I have had the chance to read. They admitted that they loved each other from the start and weren't even afraid of showing it. They did anything they could to protect each other from danger. Damien saved Attica's life twice, and both times Damien told Attica to run to safety, but she would not budge and infact helped Damien ward off the enemies - this is just a small example of courage in both characters. Both of them were intelligent, determined, and charming. I loved every part of the book, and was very sad when I finished it. I highly recommend THE LAST KNIGHT, it is romance writing at its best.

This was the fist book I read by Ms. Proctor, although, I am now going to have to go and buy all of her backlist. The story was wonderful. From the very first page I was completely sucked into the lives of Damion and Attica. Attica was a strong and courageous heroine, but I was drawn to Damion, a knight with a dark past who publically mocked chivalry, but was truly noble in his soul.The best part of this book (besides the romance) was the texture of the story. You really feel you are a part of medeival France. The language and descriptions bring the era alive.Anyway, I know it is a good book when I literally carry it around with me for a whole afternoon! I even read it in the car at stop lights!
