Re Read May 2020 - I stand by my below review. I edited it for grammar and to hide spoilers only.
Original 1st read June 2016:
5 stars hands down! I LOVED this book!
OMG! THIS is the perfect example of how to show that YES an author CAN write an HR while maintaining a perfect and honorable hero while not sacrificing conflict, historical accuracy, or logic.
This is an HR and takes place during the reign of Henry the VII. Due to the heated political climate of the time, and the background of the heroine, the author had to educate the reader about the Plantagenet's and King Henry. It wasn't overdone, a tad info dumpy at one time, but did not distract from the romance.
Some reviewers did not care for the "Old English" dialogue, I personally loved it and felt it added to the feel of the time period. It was not distracting or difficult to understand.
The characters were very well developed and complex. I loved the heroine, who was strong, yet graceful and intelligent. The hero was sweet, quiet, strong and intelligent. A dog lover whose beloved pets were a continual part of the story. I really loved him. His little sister Mary, was fun in her outspoken ways towards antagonist Isabella (a total bitch) who was a bit too evil, but necessary to drive the conflict. Lastly, Andrew, the squire, total popinjay rogue but loyal to the hero and a great comic relief.
Safety:
Would I recommend? Hell yes. Would I read more from this author? Depends on the content and safety.

Three Dog Knight is the third book in Tori Phillips’s Cavendish Chronicles. This one takes us back in time to show the meeting and marriage of Thomas and Alicia Cavendish, the parents of Guy and Brandon, the heroes of the first two books. Thomas and Alicia’s fathers betrothed them when she was only seven and he was fourteen. It was a match intended to keep Alicia, an illegitimate offspring of the Plantagenet line, safe from the new Tudor king. They met once at the betrothal and rather hit it off, but didn’t see each other again until ten years later, when Alicia’s foster parents bring her to Thomas’s doorstep as they’re fleeing the country. Thomas had just unexpectedly become the new Earl of Thornbury and is still adjusting to his new role. He does vaguely recall the betrothal and agrees to honor it in spite of all the changes that have occurred since, but he underestimates his conniving newly widowed sister-in-law, Isabel, who is unwilling to give up her place at Wolf Hall. Between his own shyness and awkwardness and the machinations of outside forces, Thomas has his work cut out for him wooing the beautiful Alicia and convincing her of his love.
Thomas is the youngest of three brothers and the second-youngest Cavendish overall. He lost his mother at a very young age and his father was an exacting man who always thought Thomas was likely mentally challenged because his quietness. It also didn’t help that he was teased and tormented mercilessly by his two older brothers. He never expected to become the master of Wolf Hall, but that’s exactly what happened when his father and brothers all tragically died of gaol fever. Thomas led a rather lonely existence while growing up, with only his dogs as his most faithful companions. Even now the three hounds follow him everywhere and are his closest confidantes, his only true human friend being his squire, Andrew. Thomas is extremely introverted and barely strings two words together unless he’s in high dudgeon over some injustice, and he becomes completely tongue-tied when in the presence of a beautiful woman. When the grown Alicia shows up at his door, he’s completely smitten, but actually flees the room on more than one occasion, unable to verbalize what he truly wants to say to her. While he may be too shy to speak, he’s a poet at heart, penning some beautifully romantic love notes to her, and he also hides a deeply passionate side that he unleashes only for her. He’s also one of those seemingly rare virgin heroes who’s so nervous about bedding Alicia that he drinks himself into a stupor on their wedding night, which I thought was quite funny. In spite of his shyness, though, Thomas is a skilled and honorable knight. He’s a master huntsman, accomplished with the sword, doesn’t hesitate to protect his own, and runs his castle with fairness and efficiency, while also being unerringly kind and compassionate toward others. Thomas is utterly adorkable, and I couldn’t help falling for this sweet knight. As someone who’s deeply introverted myself and who communicates far better in the written word than verbally, I totally related to him.
Alicia is the illegitimate daughter of King Edward IV and one of the last surviving members of the Plantagenet line. This puts her in danger from King Henry VII, the Tudor usurper who is out to kill anyone who might have a claim to the throne. She was raised by foster parents who betrothed her to Thomas to keep her safe. Because the Cavendish family were loyalists, their castle seemed one of the best places she could hide. Although Thomas doesn’t know the whole story at the time she shows up on his doorstep as a grown woman, he proves to be quite understanding and protective when she finally tells him all, calling her his princess. But before they get to that point or manage to get married, there are many internal conflicts as Thomas’s bashfulness leads Alicia to think that he doesn’t like her much and him not signing his love notes leaves her believing someone else wrote them. However, her doubts don’t stop her from falling for him anyway. She proves to be very accepting of Thomas’s quirks when others aren’t. Even when he messes up, like on their wedding night, she can’t stay mad at him for long. Alicia matches Thomas’s sweetness and kindness, but she also proves to have a backbone, never letting Isabel get the best of her. Even when the other woman is being a total shrew, Alicia manages to be the better person while also standing up for herself and Thomas.
Three Dog Knight has a number of memorable supporting characters. Isabel makes a cunning and manipulative villain who will literally do anything to maintain her place at Wolf Hall, but who gets a satisfying comeuppance by the end. Thomas’s twelve-year-old sister, Mary, is delightfully mischievous and wise beyond her years. His three dogs, Georgie the Mastiff, Vixen the Greyhound, and Taverstock the terrier are extremely well-drawn animal characters, each with their own little personalities that stand out. We get to see the birth of Thomas and Alicia’s oldest son, Brandon, who becomes the hero of Midsummer’s Knight. And last but not least, is Thomas’s squire, Andrew, an honorable and romantic young man who becomes the hero of the next book, Lady of the Knight.
Overall, Three Dog Knight was an absolute pleasure to read. Thomas captured my heart, while Alicia was sweet and relatable. Together, they make a great couple who are very well-matched. The supporting characters keep things lively and interesting. The story is a perfect mixture of drama and comedy. Isabel presents a very real threat to Thomas and Alicia’s relationship and even to Alicia’s life at one point. But at the same time, there is plenty of humor to keep things on the lighter side. Everything came together to make this a delightful book that’s a great addition to the Cavendish Chronicles. I can’t wait to read Andrew’s story, hopefully soon.

I didn't really care for this. The dialogue is all in kind of stilted, forced pseudo-Elizabethan speech. I believe in writing historical fiction in natural dialogue, because otherwise it rings very untrue for the reader. This is especially true once you start throwing in all the methinks and god gi' you good'ens.
The plot was rather cliched -- heroine comes and sets the hero's life back into order, literally, by cleaning his house and whipping the kitchen staff into order. The villain is a woman whom the hero spurned, because he had been engaged since childhood to the heroine. So, the villain tries to have the heroine kidnapped and raped/murdered.
Also, the hero is a virgin, and I don't think he'd done so much as kissed a girl before, but he is somehow a phenomenal lover. Hmmph.
Meh. I was very meh about this book.

O primeiro livro da série Cavendish que eu li e o mais divertido. Não tanto pela história... lembre-se que esse é um livro estilo água-com-açúcar, você não vai encontrar uma trama desenvolvida ou uma forte carga literária, mas provavelmente vai rir com algumas das situações, que embora clichês, são hilárias.
O casal protagonista é formado por Thomas, um cavaleiro infantilizado que usa e abusa do estereótipo homem-forte & cachorros, com a mocinha-inocente-mas-que-sabe-mais-que-todo-mundo, Alicia. Se esse tipo de caracterização te incomoda, então é melhor nem começar a ler.
Todo o resto fica por conta das situações pastelão em que os cachorros e o casal frequentemente se encontram. Mesmo a fraca noção de que a mocinha na verdade é a última descendente da oficialmente extinta casa real dos Plantageneta serve para retirar o estilo comédia da história.
Por fim, é uma leitura leve e as cenas mais pesadas ainda são bem aquém do que você vê numa novela das sete. Então, não tenha medo, carregue com você pois pode aliviar uma fila ou uma viagem de ônibus.

Well, thanks to my sister for finding this gem at the local thrift shop. She has a great tradition of gifting me a book and a cool bookmark each Christmas.
This book wasn't horrible, but it wasn't all that amazing either. I had trouble with the dialogue, which I know is historically accurate, it was just hard to read. I found Thomas and Alicia to be okay characters. There wasn't anything glaringly annoying about either of them, I just was rather ho-hum about their relationships throughout the course of the novel.
I'm looking forward to trying some other books she's purchase for me, hopefully with better results. This one, though, wasn't a win.

This is the 3rd book in the Cavendish Chronicles but it goes backwards.
The first two books are about Guy and Brandon and this book is about their parents, Sir Thomas and Alicia.
Sir Edward brings Alicia to Wolf Hall when she is seven to make a marriage offer with Sir Giles Cavendish. He has 3 sons. John is the eldest and already a widow but needs to marry legitimately, Lady Alicia is not considered legitimate. William is the middle child. He has already had two children by the peasant women and needed one to settle him down.
Sir Giles considered his 3rd son a dimwit because of his quietness and love for his dogs. He is surprised when 14 year old Thomas talks with the seven year old girl. Sir Edward informs him that though she is base born, her father was a King. Sir Giles agrees to the match.
Ten years later when Edward must leave the country because of the Tudor/York rebellions he quickly brings Alicia to Wolf Hall a year before he planned. Rather then 18 she is only 17. He arrives to find Sir Thomas is now Earl at age 24 as his father and brother all were taken shortly before by the fever.
Thomas is so shy of women he takes off the forests. His widowed sister-in-law, Isabel, wants to marry him so she can stay at Wolf Hall as a Countess. Isabel does her best to get rid of the new girl that is considered only a Merchants daughter (as was Sir Edwards cover all these years).
This is a tense story in ways as Thomas wants to marry Alicia but is afraid of women and also his fear of the wedding night as he has chosen to stay chaste. Every time he gets nervous he runs for the woods to hide or hunt.
It is a story with many different things happening and very good as well.

This is the first book I have read by this author. I enjoyed the characters (especially the dogs) and story very much. I initially bought the book because of the title and was not disappointed. Will be looking for her other titles.

This was a cute book with a likable hero who happens to be a virgin (yay) and a lovable heroine. Nothing traumatic. Just sweet and fun.
