DAMSEL IN DISTRESS
Her marriage to a cruel baron had left Amica of Lancaster frightened. And when the king sent Sir Thomas of Reed to her defense, his rough ways chilled her heart. Yet, as she grew to know the knight, she discovered that beneath his rugged exterior lay a very special soul, a man who could fill her dreams.
KNIGHT TO THE RESCUE
Thomas had never been a lady's man. He could defend Amica as the king had ordered, but how could he guard himself from her? The lady's innocent sensuality was stirring strange emotions, leaving him longing for far, far more.

About the author

When I was a senior in high school, everyone in my graduating class was asked to fill out a questionnaire supposing where we'd be in ten years' time, what we'd be doing and what our accomplishments would be. I put down that I would be a published author and have written the Great American Novel. I was joking, of course, but I really did want to be a writer. Unfortunately, it was ten years before I actually got the opportunity to put pen to paper, after the birth of my first daughter. I had given up my job as a secretary to be a stay-at-home-mom, and found the long hours of baby sleep time to be a big change from my former busy days. To pass the time and break my increasing addiction to the Home Shopping Network, I at last sat down and took a stab at pursuing that old high school dream. Sixteen years have passed since then and I've had the great joy of writing several romances and seeing them published. I may never get around to writing the Great American Novel, but it doesn't really matter. I'm writing books that I love and having the time of my life doing it, and that's an accomplishment that this former high school senior is perfectly content with.
As for the more specific information, I live in a great small town in the Los Angeles suburbs, am married to a wonderful guy, Paul, and have three gorgeous, brilliant (can you tell I'm just a tad bit biased?), fabulous daughters, two terribly spoiled (by me) dogs, and a pampered, long-suffering cat.

Spencer writes a touching story dealing with two semi-tortured characters but is still able to have some lighthearted moments. This story is one of her most distinctive medievals and a sequel of sorts to her earlier book "The Vow". The reader now sees Thomas grown up but with some faults, as being too gruff and insecure around women. He is not even sure how to kiss the right way let alone make love to a woman. Amica has much more pressing problems by dealing with an obsessed madman who wants her for his own pleasure and tyrany.
Amica is rescued by Thomas, who is the adopted son of Eric, the former hero from "The Vow". Amica at first comes across as a timid and scared soul, but underneath she is strong willed as she tries to deal with the pain and death that has followed her throughout her life.
When Thomas and Amica meet, sparks and some laughs fly as Thomas has no clue on how to deal with this woman. He can hardly think when he is around her, but still wants to be with her. He constantly blames her for his "sickness" as he calls it. But Amica, gives it back to him. Through Thomas, she grows her courage and willingness to speak her mind without any reprecussion.
The love between these two grows slowly and will make the reader smile at both their antics.The villian, Duncan is truly horrible and sadastic. There are also many secondary characters that round out the story including Eric, Margot and their children.
Start with The Vow and then with Honor. Both are very nice romances with a touch of intrigue and the basic knowledge that good will win over evil.

Excellent medieval with a truly evil villain and an atypical hero that previously did not like women all that much. There were a couple of minor things that bothered me, but I give Honor 4.5 stars (rounded to 5).

I love this book so much. It might just be my all time favorite. It is one of the few books that has actually made me cry because I got so wrapped up in the story. An amazingly beautiful story with unexpected twists. Amica and Thomas help to heal each others scars and end up having a beautiful romance neither one ever expected to find.
