Knights of de Ware #2
My Warrior
Fierce and fearless Sir Holden de Ware has been sent to Scotland to ally with the Gavin clan and secure the border—an easy conquest, he assumes, until he discovers that the impassioned warrior defending the castle is a woman. Fiery Cambria Gavin is not about to surrender her land. She blames Holden for her father’s death and—as proud and capable as any knight—she vows vengeance. But her sworn enemy proves gallant, courageous, and irresistible, and revenge becomes a double-edged sword as Cambria finds her blade...and her heart...hopelessly entangled with his.

Having an impulsive female lead, such as Cambria in this story, is a sure way to let you know this story is going to have its unforeseen twists and turns. In the normal run of historical romance books, the damsel is usually in distress. Not so here, which makes for a playful and refreshing experience.
Being a bit impulsive myself, I started the trilogy not on its first book, My Hero, but on the second, My Warrior. Why did I do that? Because I figured that if the writing was any good, you can go in any order, visit each one of the three brothers and see their world, experience their adventures out of the prescribed order. I was not disappointed.
This book presents the second brother, Holden de Ware, whose heartbeat quickens upon meeting Cambria. She sparks love in him, and furthermore, she becomes a challenge which brings to mind the Taming of the Shrew: Without the hand of a mother to guide her, Cambria is wild and spontaneous. She hates him, she loves him. When her father dies, she becomes the chieftain in his stead, facing a Scotland divided by war. It falls to Holden, appointed by King Edward to represent England, to try and negotiate peace amidst treacheries and mistrust.
So the challenge is on the political level as well as the personal one, it is a challenge in love and war. A note about the cover art, where amidst the shadows you can catch a glimpse of Holden in his shining armor. He is holding his helmet, which is adorned with a fancy feather, and seems to be biding his time, waiting for someone. Perhaps for Cambria. I enjoy the fact he is standing with his back to me, so that I am waiting for him to turn around. It is the moment before action...
Five stars.

Great Read.
I enjoyed this book very much. It was interesting and a bit unpredictable, especially the ending. I would recommend it to anyone.

I was lucky enough to win this book through a Goodreads giveaway a month or so ago. My tardiness for this review is because I actually misplaced the book; I know, that NEVER happens to me! Please allow me to recommend this author. Her stories, as this one is, are lush with descriptions of the land, castles, clothing, and people of the medieval periods of her books. It's really interesting for me to try and imagine what it was like to live in those times. We are all products of our upbringing and environment, so I can't fault Cambria for her, what may seem to us now, foolish ways. The same can be said for the men in the story. The Knights of de Ware are exactly what I would hope them to be, handsome, dashing, and honorable, while still being human, with faults and sometimes questionable loyalties that make the story so engrossing. I ran the gambit of emotions while reading this book, which to me, makes it well worth my time. I'm pleased to give Cambria, Holden, Duncan, and Garth 5 stars! I love a happy ending!

A Laird’s daughter, growing up in a castle, set to inherit the title of Laird, marriage to a noble knight. What more could a girl want? Not the marriage! Especially not to the enemy! Cambria never wanted to marry, but after her father’s death, can she hold the title or will it be taken from her by the English? Cambria is a strong, beautiful girl, willing to sacrifice herself for her clan. Her father taught her her duty along with sword play and other knightly skills. A beautifully told story, well written and captivating and totally worth the read!

All of the De Ware brothers stories are stunners! I read it straight through since I wanted to find out what happened next! Great character, well described beauty and locations in Scotland and wonderful Plot. I do love the way Ms. Campbell does breakout books (series) featuring one of the other characters you met in the book you are currently reading...

3.5 stars. It was better than My Champion, but it was still lacking between Cambria and Holden. The last abduction was so unnecessary and Holden ignoring his wife for 9 months because his mother died during childbirth... That was too much.

Doesn’t disappoint!
Holden and Cambria are equally matches. For a Knight that said he wasn’t going to ever marry, he fell hard. Cambria made him realize that a Scot woman was no shrinking violet. She kept him on his toes to try to control her.

What’s with Glynis Campbell and hot headed females? lol. It does get tiring over time.
This storyline is like most of her others. Man comes to take over castle. Heroine protests. They fall in love. Nothing different.

Given a Scottish holding, Holden de Ware finds himself in conflict with a Scottish knight. This knight is no ordinary knight, but the Laird of Blacklaugh, a woman. A tempetuos romance between an English knight and his Scottish Laird. Loved it!

Loving
I loved this story. Each character showed strengths and weaknesses. Glynnis Campbell once again wove a tale which delighted and trapped me into reading non stop.

This was a really good story. I enjoyed so very much. Strong willed Scot meets strong willed English. It was worth the money at least it was for me.

Definitely liked it better than the first in this trilogy, and that's all down to the leads. These two are also headstrong and fight one another--and their attraction and growing love--but at least it makes plenty of sense why. In many senses they're enemies; the hero is there to conquer and the heroine is trying to salvage and protect her people.
The action makes more sense too. Another bad thing to another bad thing doesn't have to be invented to carry them from one fraught instance to the next. And wow is there a ton of bad and fraught things that befall them.
Their relationship dynamic is the same as in the first book--fight and spar until it's love--but they're better drawn as characters as to why they do so. The heroine particularly is easier to like and sympathize with, and as raised by a man to become a laird, we don't have to endure invented reasons for her to dislike and work against and resist the hero.
For all that she's purported to handle herself so well, she never manages a true win. Maybe it's to get across she's trained but not battle-tested. Maybe it's just subtly creeping sexism. Regardless, at least her bravery lets her fly a few arrows and spar with a king and face her husband as a false champion and acquit herself well enough, even if she's not their ~equal.
And the hero is chivalrous from the start but gentles to thoughtful and loving, which is nice. Once again though he's a Lusty Lad, and I get tired of hearing how many by-blows and bastards these guys leave in their uncaring wake.
To me the ending is too heavy-handed. I didn't need her kidnapped -- always a kidnapping! -- while pregnant while fighting from her freaked out husband. I completely got the reason for the kidnapping, as it was the shortcut device to getting the hero over his freakout and fears about childbirth killing her; he literally had to face it, and was alone in helping her give birth. So I dunno, I didn't hate it, but it was that final thing loaded on an already much-abused by the events of the book heroine (and couple) that threatened to pull them under.
At least they didn't let it.
Campbell's numerous and quick POV jumps remains--even tertiary characters get a paragraph or two as they consider an unfolding scene and decide to add their take on things--as does the sometime confusion about where people are in space (they find each other in a glen, and now he's lowering her to their bed! --wait when did they get to his tent?). But action is actiony and actually happens on page, and as I've said, I always appreciate that.
The epilogue is sweet. It's a nice and well-earned HEA. The two are well suited and that's evident before the hero gets in his head about killing his wife by getting her pregnant; I suppose that was addressed to make him 'whole' in their HEA, but it was also added to have a last bit of drama wrenched from the text, given they were otherwise in love and content/ready to settle down.

2 stars. This suffered from poor plotting and pacing.
Not a lot of variety so far. ..
Castle lost
Escape
Recapture
Escape
Recapture
Escape with Hostage
Hostage switcheroo
A wedding
Some fighting
Captured again
More capturing
She may not be as smart and capable as she thinks she is, with being captured all the time.
There was a lot of patronizing men in this. Her father, her husband, the king. And why would her husband bother explaining things to her?! She's a mere women and he doesn't have to lower himself to explaining to a woman!
Also, she keeps claiming to be this expert swords[wo]man, and she literally loses every fight that isn't thrown. Why even bother? It got to the point where I'd just roll my eyes any time it was brought up.
So there doesn't seem to be much more relationship development needed (at least as written, I would have taken more at a better place). . .except I'm only at 60%.
Better throw in some act 3 shenanigans.
. . .and now we're at 80% with all that resolved. What could possibly be left for another 15%?! Well I guess we, along with the h, will have to suffer along in ignorance. Because OF COURSE the H's birth killed his mother. Why bring it up now? Why because now the h is pregnant and we need some post-3rd act drama involving the H being overwrought (and showing it with a cold shoulder) that he has essentially killed the h, as well. How convenient. God forbid that any of these concerns were brought up earlier. Also God forbid he ever be concerned that all the seed he was spilling would sprout.
Why do they do this? I want twists, but not when I was ready to be done with the book (both due to pacing and general interest) at 60%.

Two very strong-willed people face-off. Holden de Ware, the Wolf, and Lady Cambria Gavin, her father's successor, clan chief. Her father was slaughter by the English, who said that they came in peace. Her castle was being surrounded by his King's Army. This Wolf had brought treachery to their land. Cambria Gavin would make all of them pay. Lady Warrior Cambria called a challenge to the Wolf, on the field of honor, should the English have. Holden has to find a way to end the bloodshed. Marriage should, and could bring these two warring factions together, but can it. With treachery coming at them from all sides. Not knowing who to trust. Friends or foes. Trust will come hard for both Holden and Cambria. Can they make it work?
May 10, 2021
A swashbuckling story of adventure and romance with breath-taking battles and fights, twists and turns and emotionally overwhelming situations that made me feel for Cambria and Holden. She is so persecuted and mistreated, but never loses her courage and determination and she has a fiery and unbreakable spirit. Holden is a fearless and strong warrior, however when it comes to her love, she is his Achilles' heel. I was completely hooked on this book that constantly made me breathless, but craved for more!
April 7, 2021
'I loved this book!!! But then, I love most of Glynnis Campbell's books. They sweep you to a far away place where you can lose yourself in the pages. You can almost feel the way her characters are feeling and picture yourself there in your mind's eye! She is a marvelous writer and I cannot wait till another of her book's comes out!
May 28, 2021
I know this book is a few years old but decided to read the series after rereading a novella by Ms. Campbell in the anthology "A Knight's Vow". Reminds me a great deal of Lynn Kurland's work which I adore. Enjoyed the book very much and although I read the book out of order, have been able to find the first and third in the series and can't wait to read them as well.

Cambria Gavin became the Laird of the Gavin clan when the English killed her father. She vowed vengeance against the English specifically against the Lord Holden De Ware. Whom the English King gave Lordship over the Gavin clan. Ms. Campbell has written a very good book. It was a joy to read. It ended with a happily ever after...
February 16, 2019
I truly enjoyed this book. I probably would have given five stars, but the it could have been a little less, oft times less is more. I felt connected to both main characters at times and at times not. Over all I did enjoy this book and will read it again.
February 12, 2022
I did not finish this book; I struggled to read it half way through. I could not warm up to the characters. The hero was arrogant albeit loyal to his duties. The heroine was selfish and impulsive, never thinking of the consequences of her actions. I just could not get into their story.

Entrancing
Another excellent story by Glynnis Campbell. Holden de Ware and Cambria are two hotheads that face innumerable adventures together. Their story is full of ups and downs and even sideways. It is a page turner, from start to finish.

The second son falls hard and marries a warrior woman. The book should skip chapter 20 and end with 19, then the epilogue.

Holden de Ware is known as a fierce knight and has been sent by King Edward of England to secure the Borders by forming an alliance with the Scots clan Gavin. Unfortunately before his arrival, the Laird of Gavin was betrayed and slain and now Cambria, his daughter, has become laird; she will have nothing to do with the English. Cambria will avenge her father's death even if she has to fight the English herself! The only solution, marry Cambria himself and stop the spread of the rebellion. Cambria, the warrior laird, did not go to the marriage quietly and had to be watched constantly for fear she'd join the rebellion. In spite of everything against them, Holden and Cambria found themselves falling in love. When the betrayer captured her and forced to fight her own husband dressed as a knight, will Holden recognize her in time to avoid slaying Cambria?
Set at the time of Robert the Bruce, this story has just enough history to keep it interesting. Cambria is certainly a warrior-woman who puts the welfare of her clan above everything else. It takes Holden a long time to convince her that all English aren't bad.
