Review: Lady at Arms by Tamara Leigh

[kderse]

In the book Lady at Arms by Tamara Leigh we find Lizanne a woman very tough on the outside. Who has promised herself that she will never be hurt by a man again, but soon comes face to face with the man who made her this way. She takes her chance to take revenge on the man and we find him being taken prisoner by her. She should feel very good about herself but instead finds herself wondering why he is so different. Did he really change and can she right the wrongs in her families past? Ranulf was not looking to get married again. Then a mission turns his fascination to a young woman but soon turns to fury when she takes him as her prisoner. He is accused of something he didn’t do. He finds this women good at fighting not only with her sword but with her words as well. When he beats her at her own game and the roles are reversed he is set on figuring out what wrong he did to her in her past. Through this game though he sees her heart and he must answer a question he never expected, one his heart never wanted to answer.

I would recommend this book for adults only as there are some attempted rapes, unsuccessful but non the less should probably only be read by adults. Of course in this day maybe teens are more prepared to read this.

Lady at Arms was once Warrior Bride. As I understand it Lady at Arms is a cleaned up version. I don’t know what made Tamara re-write this series but I appreciate it. I am one that prefers a clean romance versus anything else.

I enjoyed the main character in this book, she is spunky. Something we are seeing more and more of in the movies and television series. I like seeing a woman who can speak for herself. Even though I enjoyed this book (and would recommend it) and had many things I enjoyed the med-evil setting, the suspense, the action, the romance, it wasn’t a page turner. I didn’t stay up late reading this. To be honest some nights I feel asleep reading it. For a lazy day where you just want to sit and enjoy a book, well this book is for that special occasion so go sit by the fire, or under a blanket and enjoy this fun read.

I rate this book a 3 out of 4 stars.
