Summary: Ms. Kurland has a new fan!!
Comment: Wonderful! I too started with one the subsequent books and am now backtracking. I love Ms. Kurland's writing. I am sorry I did not discover her sooner. So much lost time! I am looking forword to all of the books I have yet to read and all of the books she has yet to write!

Summary: Not so good...
Comment: I found this book disappointing. I found the book to contain little plot or character development throughout the novel. The main character, Anne, was injured several years ago, although we never learn how or precisely when. Apparently Anne is blond haired and green eyed, but believes her self to be ugly. Anne and Robin fell in love at first sight when Anne was about eight years old. They were both too afraid of ridiculed to say anything to the other for the next ten years, but only after much argument and denial on both sides. The plot is made complete with a woman who wants revenge on Robin (I have yet to discover what she wants revenge for). She has decided she has a right to his castle and is attempting to slowly kill off his family and friends before finishing him off, but do you think any of the people could possibly be killed??
This book seemed quite shallow; I was skeptical of the love between Robin and Anne. I also found I did not care if any of the characters died or not. Perhaps this book would have been slightly better if one had read some of the other books by this author, but it is doubtful.
Find something else to reed.
P.S. If this is on your top ten list I feel so sorry for you. I honestly can't imagine what you have been reading.

Summary: A SURE Winner!
Comment: Anne of Fenwyck has loved her foster brother, Robin de Piaget, since they were children. Robin was smitten himself when he first laid eyes on her, and boys being boys, he put a frog down her dress to show his affection. When they were younger, the two of them had been as close as could be, but because of an act of humiliation Robin felt so profound, he kept himself and his heart away from Anne for fear that she would find him lacking. As soon as he could, he went off to war, determined to forget Anne, and prove himself.
Robin has grown up to become a most fierce and feared knight and has stayed away for five long years yet when he learns that Anne's father is husband-hunting he rushes home before it is too late. Proficient in war, but unskilled in wooing his surliness soon works to a distinct disadvantage as he tries to get on Anne's good side.
Knowing Robin's heart better than he knows himself, his brother Nicolas and his very strong-willed and domineering grandmother set out to bring a bit of chivalry to this fearsome knight! As if Robin didn't have enough on his plate trying to woo his lady, there is an evil plot afoot to take Anne from him before he ever makes her his.
I have to credit Kurland with creating a most beautiful and enjoyable love story. I absolutely adored the love and warmth portrayed by the sibling rivalries of this loving de Piaget family. It was both hilarious and touching to 'feel' the love and tenderness between these siblings as they beat on each other whether it be with words or fists. Her portrayal of Robin so manly and strong, yet so boyishly awkward when trying to woo Anne was nothing short of brilliant. Kurland draws you in and makes you one of the family, and I can hardly wait to for the next family reunion. Highly entertaining and heartwarming, this book will retain a space on my keeper shelf.
