About the author
Lyn Stone
114 books39 followersLyn's foray into book-length fiction began in the early '90s, and she signed her first contract with Harlequin Historicals on Valentine's Day, 1996. "Flowers, candy, kisses, and a book sale, too! There will never be another day quite like that one!" she says.
"I always loved to write and even got excited about doing reports and term papers. I neglected other homework just to make that short story for English class as riveting as I possibly could."
Even so, she never really considered writing as a career until much later. Instead, Lyn studied art and worked in Europe while she visited the places she now writes about in her historicals. At that time, she was painting those sights and selling pictures.
While working at Boeing as an illustrator, she had the idea of trying to freelance book covers. Since she liked to paint faces and figures, romance novels seemed a logical choice. However, the field of cover art is highly competitive and she discovered it would take a great deal of research and preparation.
While studying the market on covers, she became firmly hooked on the contents of the books and decided to try writing instead. "Definitely one of my better decisions," she admits. She is still an avid romance reader and manages to read an average of four per week in addition to one or two books outside the genre.
Lyn feels a special affinity for England and Scotland with their wonderful castles and intriguing history. The American South and Southwest are her favorite settings for contemporary adventures.
She and her husband, Allen, both natives of Georgia, live in North Alabama near their two children and four grandchildren. "The family contributes to my research," Lyn says.
"They buy me books, clip articles, sketch costumes, and sometimes act out scenes. Even the grandchildren serve as inspiration for the younger characters."

I Northumberland ligger kung Edwards sårade riddare Richard i Sara av Fernstowes borg. Det är 1300-tal och ständiga konflikter mellan skottar och engelsmän. Richard är svårt skadad men tack vare Saras läkekunskaper räddar hon livet på honom. Där i den stunden, med kungens medgivande, om Richard överlever, väljer hon honom till sin make för att undgå de förevarande frierier.
När Richard tillfrisknar blir han arg över det påtvingade äktenskapet men lyder sin konung. Därefter börjar en turbulent tid på det känslomässiga planet. De vill annullera äktenskapet, de älskar, hatar och vill hämnas tidigare oförrätter.
En tidsfördrivande berättelse full av intriger. En intressant handling där författaren lyckas skapa spänning både i själva ploten så som i karaktärernas personlighet. Roande berättelse för de som tycker om historiska miljöer. Med tanke på bokens romantiska genre skulle jag tro att det här är en typisk tjej-roman.

Not bad but nothing outstanding either. It picked up in excitement around the 70% mark, which is quite an investment imo, but I liked it well enough. There isn’t much to say on this one tbh.
