Review: A KNIGHT’S TEMPTATION by Catherine Kean
Aldwin Treynarde is the subject of chansons, not as a hero but a fool. He was manipulated by Baron Sedgewick into believing Lord Geoffrey de Laucean was harming Lady Elizabeth, Geoffrey’s betrothed and the woman Aldwin holds in great esteem, so Aldwin shot him. Geoffrey is now graciously allowing Aldwin to make up for his folly by retrieving a ruby pendant stolen by the same Baron Sedgewick. Aldwin hopes this will earn him forgiveness and a bid for knighthood so is determined to succeed.
Meanwhile, Baron Sedgewick and his partner, Geoffrey’s former lover, Veronique, has taken over the neighboring keep from the drunken Lord Ransley. His daughter, Leona, discovers the stolen necklace and arranges to exchange it for a reward. However, when Leona spies Aldwin, she recognizes him as a former childhood playmate that almost caused her death when they had a run in with bees. Aldwin does not recognize Leona but decides to kidnap the perceived tavern wench and take her to Lord de Laucean along with the pendant. Leona is having none of his plans and tries to escape at every turn. Their close proximity and dangerous mission spark passion between Aldwin and Leona as they finally decide to work together to return the pendant and save Leona’s father and home.
Award winning Catherine Kean once again transports her readers to another time filled with knights, ladies, treachery and pleasure in her compelling novel, A KNIGHT’S TEMPTATION. Her characters, Aldwin and Leona, demand attention as they joust with their witty dialogue and passionate embraces. A KNIGHT’S TEMPTATION by romance-writing star, Catherine Kean, is the perfect historical romance.
