Ik heb de Nederlands talige versie gelezen : Pas op voor mij - Candlelight Historische roman 972 Dit is het 6e en laatste deel van de Broederschap van het zwaard en tevens het 3e en laatste deel van de broers Hilliard in de serie . Hierin staat de jongste broer Paul centraal en komen we te weten waarom hij de broederschap de rug toegekeerd heeft . Maar hij laat zich toch overhalen om nog een keer een missie voor hen uit te voeren waarbij hij een complot tegen de koning moet zien te ontrafelen . Hij wordt hierbij geholpen door verschillende leden van de broederschap waaronder de krijgsvrouwe Juliana die tijdens de missie zijn directe lijfwacht is en in de vermomming van zijn courtisane lekker dicht bij hem kan blijven . Ik vond dit een leuke serie , misschien niet al te memorabel maar onderhoudend en dat is voor wat uurtjes leesplezier goed genoeg .
I really enjoyed the book and getting to know the history was really nice. It is very romantic and tempting story and I could not resist the urge to continue reading. This book is seriously nice and too good. Kudos to the writer. Paul and Juliana is seriously a nice pair and their chemistry is mind blowing.
