After too many years on the battlefield, Merrick de Beaucourt is looking forward to a simple life of peace and quiet with a docile wife at his side. But when he finally fetches his bride-to-be from a secluded English convent, he finds he needs more than his knight's spurs to bring order to his life.

When betrothed at fifteen to the legendary English knight she had never met, Lady Clio of Camrose believed that love was something magical. But her youthful hopes faded as she languished in a convent for six long years, never hearing a word from Merrick.

Weary of war, Lord Merrick finds little peace guarding the wild Welsh borders, and even less with the wife whose trust he destroyed. But as Lady Clio comes to understand the dark knight she so blindly wed, she sees a chance to make her dreams come true.

Amidst the enchanted mists that envelop Camrose Castle, they will battle together to discover a place where all things are possible, even a love that is rare and wonderful.

Contains mature themes.

Lord Merrick, recently granted the title of Earl and given an estate, was betrothed to Clio by the king. They had never met, and she waited 6 years for him to come to her. She’d lived in a convent and became proficient in brewing ale. The castle Merrick received was the very one Clio grew up in.
The story drags a bit and seemed to me that the author tried to make it longer than it actually was. Her language was lovely, however, and some of her phrases beautiful.
The narrator did a fair job so I gave her 3 stars. I don’t think I will continue with the series.

Wonderful almost...this is a simple romance story, with some good parts. I was sorry we had to wait till the last 2-3 chapters to get to some exciting story telling (this author has it in her).

Left a lot to be desired. simplistic story, basically non-existent conflict, rushed finish, and a rather dim FMC. And what the heck happened to Pit? They just disappeared and are never mentioned again. Narration basically kept the book alive.

Not bad, but could be better.

This was delightful. It kept my interest and was much different than the same old stories. I laughed out loud a few times which I appreciated.

What a fun book

I love the seasoning of humor within the love story and drama. It is a wonderful story.
