The Legend: A Novel

by Suzanne Robinson

From the bestselling author of The Treasure comes another intriguing tale -- the story of a man who takes possession of a haunted castle ... only to find himself bewitched by the earthly charms of the lady of the house.

A lady of virtue...

To escape another loveless marriage, Honor Jennings -- a young, captivating, and much too headstrong woman -- enters the Order of Vowesses. As widows, the vowesses promise to remain celibate and modest for the rest of their lives. That's just fine with Honor -- until she discovers that Galen de Marlowe has moved into the ruins of Durance Guarde castle. Her castle. The infamous legend of a wailing woman haunting its walls had always kept strangers away -- and now Honor intends to make certain Galen believes the legend with all his heart....

A lord of desire...

Galen de Marlowe sought out the isolated castle as a place to ponder the visions that are both his gift and his curse. His clairvoyance had once helped the king. But his new premonitions of a royal murder need careful thought before he acts. And now an interfering yet utterly beguiling woman is complicating his life. No ghostly disguise can hide the fact that Honor is flesh and blood, sweet to touch, irresistible to kiss. And when she stumbles upon Galen's secret talents, he knows only one way to ensure her to make her his wife by a desire and a deception far greater than Honor can imagine....

It was good! Part romance, part murder mystery and a little paranormal all mixed together!

It was short, and not very steamy, but the adorable romance made up for it. Honestly, what sold me was the hero's nickname for the heroine...he called her his "little sunset" all the time and it gave me serious feels.

I read this story when my real life turned unside down and I remember this was a good distraction, but I can’t remember its plot or specifics.

This story had me cracking up at the antics of the main characters. I wasn't expecting a comedy when I started it but I was delightfully surprised. The romance was sweet and the main characters were fun. I would recommend this to anyone who likes mischief with their romance.

Another super boring entry.

Read four books by this author- two are GREAT, the other two are dismal.

Ghost writer? What. Is. Happening.
