· “Marriage was man and wife, side by side as they were now, sharing life’s adventures and battling its challenges…together.  It was an alliance forged of the finest steel, tempered in the fires of adversity, and thus blessed by unrivaled strength.” ·

 

[image error] Damsels in shining armor…riding to the rescue!

Deirdre, Helena, and Miriel, three kick-arse Scots wenches, aren’t about to become any man’s chattel, until they meet heroes who are strong enough to tame their wild ways and worthy enough to win their wayward hearts.

Born to the blade and raised to fear no one, Deirdre of Rivenloch never shies away from a fight and never turns her back on a threat to her land or her family. But she’s never met a man like Sir Pagan Cameliard, the bold and powerful knight who comes at the king’s command to make a marriage alliance with Rivenloch. To save her younger sister, Deirdre tricks Pagan into marrying her instead, and now she faces a new kind of enemy who crosses swords with her by day and lays siege to her heart by night.  

My Review

Goodreads Rating: 5*

Let me start by saying…

This was so much better than I anticipated! I’m gonna go ahead and confess that what I love the most about Historical Romance as a genre is that it’s full of clichés and it rarely ever lets me down. I know I’m gonna have some adventures, some laughs and a lot of “aw” moments. I know I’m not gonna have to do a lot of thinking or a lot of emotional processing, which is why I choose these novels when I’m swamped with work or just can’t deal with “heavier” reads.

Anyways, back to Lady Danger (which you can and SHOULD get for free thanks to Bookbub), let’s start with the biggest cliché breaker—cover and blurp already anticipate  damsels that, far from being in distress, are wearing shinning armours and willing to fight and die for those they love

This is true to the point that even the sister that seems more “fragile” ends up being a complete bad-ass and I would completely enjoy to read their stories!

When Deirdre marries Pagan to protect her younger (“fragile”) sister from a marriage without love, she’ll find herself fighting the heardest battles—proving her husband that she’s cut out for the battlefield and not giving in to the strange feelings he awakes in her… especially when he kisses her.

On his behave, Pagan fears for his wife’s life and strongly believes a woman’s place is not in the arena. He’s commited to keep Deirdre safe… even if that means breaking her most precious belonging to keep her from sparring—her sword.

As I said, this book was most enjoyable and if you’re into the genre and would like a refreshing twist or two, this is definitely for you
