This is a spectacular collection of novels written by the very talented Kathryn Le Veque. Every single novel here is a 5-star read. All of the books are stories about the famed and powerful House of de Winter. They are all thrilling, gripping, edge-of-your seat reads that will elicit the entire gamut of emotions. I originally bought each book individually when they were first published and I was thrilled to have them altogether in one collection, never mind at such a reasonable price. Believe it or not, all of these books in this collection were my third read-through of each book and this will by no means be the last time I will read them. They are THAT good! I cannot say enough about this collection except you will fall in love with the de Winters and their ladies.

Disgraceful! I cannot bring myself to read any further. A young woman, likely a girl given it's the early 1200s, was brutally forced into marriage, raped by her husband to consummate the marriage, he didn't see it as rape and was worried about not having an "amicable" marriage but showed no remorse for raping her, then his mother points out the violence was her fault as she fought against her husband's men who forcibly took her to be married to his freaking sword! And the author has the audacity to have this poor girl feel ashamed that might have enjoyed being raped when she was scared and tried to stop him???? Disgusted and very disappointed. I would give this a zero if it were possible.

This collection of full length stories is an incredible collection. Each book is of the de Winter family. You will have hours and hours to immerge yourself in a world filled with action, romance and some great humorous moments. Each hero is of an amazing Knight with pretty strong heroines. The price on this is ridiculous. This is definitely a keeper to my library. I bought each of these individually and I went ahead and purchased this collection as well.

Really liked this book. A little different as far as blood and gore from the others. Love all your books Kathryn, really loved this one. It's good to also read and hear about descendants from other books I have read. Thank you. U have your different battles and power plays in each book and as usual written very well. I have each one of these books individaully and left reviews for each one. It's hard to remember every detail, it's been a while since I read each book a while back.

Swoon Worthy collection!

I read every story in this collection in one sitting and reviewed them separately as I went. Needless to say I couldn't get enough of these warlord Knights and the ladies who won their loyal hearts and loved seeing all of them together in this amazing collection! Now I am off to read Silversword!

Her books are always exciting and entertaining. The history is fascinating and the characters are well developed, human, but also very heroic.

A Great Book Bundle

Kathryn Lee Veque never disappoints. I love this genre and everyone of her books I've read have been historically correct and well-edited.
