The Rose of Blacksword

I have read many historical romance novels, and none have ever stuck with me the way this one has. I read this book when I was 15 and I am now 24. I still get an all over wonderful feeling when I think of this book almost 10 years later. It is one of the BEST love stories I have ever had the extreme pleasure of reading. It's everything you look for in a love story, and if I remember correctly the author was inspired to write this story based upon an engraving or something of that sort that she saw on a castle which makes it all the more a thrilling read. I admire the bravery of the heroine who wants to get home safely and in order to do so she marries a man who is about to be hanged. Little did she know of the adventure and love that was about to envelope her very being.

A great story with great characters. After Lady Rosalynde's escort party is attacked she goes in search of help. This is when she sees Aric and in exchange for his escort home she marries him thereby saving him from the "hangman's noose". Aric is hellbent on revenge against the man who brought him to such a pass and just as determined to keep Rose as his wife, despite her reluctance. This is a wonderful story that you are sure to enjoy.

THE ROSE OF BLACKSWORD is a fantastic journey in the lives of two magnificent people destined to love one another and become one. You'll enjoy it. Trust me!
