Description
Fantasies are made of knights in shining armor. Men whose ferocity in battle was tempered by a code of chivalry...whose passions brought them to their knees before the women they desired...whose loyalty and honor never wavered--and whose vows were never broken. These are the men of our dreams--and now you can find them in four breathtaking Medieval tales by today's most acclaimed writers of historical romance... In Lynn Kurland's "The Traveller," a bedraggled knight makes a solemn vow to show more protect, defend, and rescue any and all maidens in distress--even those from Manhattan. A vow to marry for love transforms a marquis into a minstrel who must sing for his supper--and for a woman whose heart is true in Patricia Potter's "The Minstrel." In Deborah Simmons' "The Bachelor Knight," a forgotten vow comes back to haunt the greatest knight in all the land, when a fair maiden asks for his hand in marriage. Trapped underground with his unwilling betrothed, a determined knight vows to free her--body and soul in Glynnis Campbell's "The Siege." show lessTags

This book has a mixture of stories from different authors. I had read a book prior by Lynn Kurland and loved it, so I thought I give this a try. I liked the time travel and historical fiction, so this was a perfect book for me. It also gives you a taste for other authors. Stories are mostly set in the 1300s. For short reads about knights of old, this book would be for you.
I always enjoy stories from Lynn Kurland, and the other three stories from other authors were pretty good as well. A nice, quick, light read.
5 star read! A collection of sweet short stories. Recommended to historical romance fans.
