About the author
Shari Anton
20 books37 followersShari Anton's resume lists an impressive string of job titles, from personnel clerk to executive secretary. When she took a creative writing class and found she possessed some talent for writing fiction, she dared to dream of a career that allowed her to work at home, shun panty hose and take unlimited coffee breaks.
Determined to write what she loved to read - historical romance - she spent the next few years learning the craft of writing a novel and entering various writing contests, winning first place in several. Emboldened by her success, she submitted her work to agents and publishers.
Her persistence paid off in 1997. With subsequent publishing contracts signed, Shari left the work world behind. She now spends her days in her home office weaving romantic tales set in medieval England.
Shari and her husband live in Wisconsin, have two grown children, and do their best to spoil their grandsons. Every chance they get, they pack the saddlebags on their Harleys and hit the road. Traveling companions expect to find a visit to a Civil War battlefield, a medieval fair, or an historical society on the itinerary.

Bem previsível, mas não é como se quem lesse esse tipo de livro esperasse muita originalidade.

Entretenido pero bastante predecible.

"Lei lo faceva girare con un semplice tocco, gli spezzava il cuore con una sola lacrima, lo faceva sentire audace e coraggioso, capace di conquistare il mondo con una mano sola quando faceva l’amore con lui. "
Era da un po' che non leggevo una storia ambientata al tempo delle crociate ed è stata una lettura carina e scorrevole! ^^ Certo rispetto ad altri Cavalieri della Rosa Nera Bernard non brilla di fascino o astuzia (insomma come ha fatto a fidarsi della parola di un uomo che anche i sassi sanno non avere un briciolo di onore? Tra l'altro non ha mai avuto un briciolo di curiosità sul proprio passato? o di amor proprio per combattere per quello che gli appartiene? D:) ma Claire compensa la "pochezza" del protagonista maschile con un bel caratterino (il vestito che indossa nel duello finale è un atto di vero coraggio! ;D) Pollice in su per l'amicizia che lega i cavalieri e li aiuta a superare ogni difficoltà!

What a great series.
The Knights of the Black Roses leave 200 hundred strong and return with 6.
The 6 are thought to be dead.
The Conqueror is the 3rd and last book.
Bernard returns from his four years in the Crusades to claim his bride and land he was promised. Only two others knew of the promise and one was dead. Odo Setton chose to deny the knowledge of owing Bernard land or his youngest daughters hand in marriage.
Claire has been promised to another.
Through an unusual amount of events Bernard kidnaps Claire to use as ransom to get the land at least.
And from there..........

September 25, 2012Il libro di per sè non sarebbe male nel suo genere, però, io leggo rosa storici solo da pochi anni e questa storia si sente che è un po' datata come stile e come trama, almeno per una lettrice come me... oltre al fatto che amo di più i rosa ad ambientazione ottocentesca di quelli ad ambientazione medievale...

Si vous êtes capable de lire ça, c'est que vous pouvez tout lire, ça touche pas le fond, ça creuse encore :-(

Well written story, with a nicely sensual aspect. Not all of Harlequin's medieval romances are engaging, but this one is and I find I'd be more than interested in reading other novels by Ms. Anton.

Again one of Shari Anton great books. I have read this one three times and I'll read it again. I would tell everyone who likes Knights and damsels to read this book.
