Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)From the author of When Knighthood Was In Flower comes another romance involving the Tudors. Our narrator is Malcolm Vernon, a Frenchman who has followed the doomed Queen Mary from France to Scotland. When the winds of Fate start to change, Malcom hightails it to England to hole up at Haddon Hall with his English cousins. This is where we meet Dorothy. Of course she's beautiful, clever, strong, stubborn and reckless. With a tip of the hat to Shakespeare, Dorothy has fallen in love with John Manners, son of her father's worst enemy. There's a lot of secret wooing going on between these two. Perhaps too much wooing. There's not enough action. Not THAT kind of action! But Major could have thrown in a sword fight or two, or maybe a dangerous encounter with highwaymen. Something. There's a little bit of drama at the end when Dorothy allows her jealousy to place everyone's lives at risk, but it's not much of a payoff. If you want action with your romance, I recommend The Helmet of Navarre by Bertha Runkle.
