When her elderly husband dies, Lady Katherine fakes her own death and disappears into the forest with others escaping the brutish new lord. Determined to protect her people, she knocks the wrong man senseless. But Lord Henry isn’t an enemy, he’s the brother of her childhood friend. Although his tender confidence tempts her, she’s bound by duty.

Henry of Chauvere has found the one lady he wants for his own, never mind she’s tied him hand and foot. When he learns the king has ordered her to wed Stonehill’s ruthless new master, he insists Kate seek haven with his sister. But she won’t desert her friends. Henry vows to solve her problem, provided he catches a traitor before the threat from Kate’s past catches her.

When a daring rescue compels Henry and Kate to join forces, their attraction grows into love. If only duty didn’t drive them apart.

The action starts with an immediate attack in The Lady of the Forest. The lady, in quite unusual circumstances, has taken to the trees. Lord Henry, in pursuit of a killer, has no idea of the danger from above. This story Intriguing from the start.

The two are inadvertently on the same quest, though the lady, Katherine of Stonehill, has stepped far outside her usual realm. She is, in a way, hiding in her own domain: Kate’s history itself will involve the readers, as we share her courage and come to understand the forces driving her.

Lord Henry, the knight, is more easily and quickly understood. His quest begins in quite a straightforward way, and his courage is long-since proven.

Humor crops up here and there, even as Katherine and Henry struggle on, in a tale that involves secrets, capture, escape, and an evil master. Stonehill is a place built of wood on lowland; the very irony of its name makes us want to warn the unsuspecting good knight!

An unexpectedly wonderful touch involves a number of secondary characters; these, largely children (think of a band in the forest), contribute enormously to the overall plot, and become strong ‘characters’ in their own right.

I have one complaint about some complex conversations and having to re-read to figure out who-said-what. That sort of thing does take one a bit out of the story. It’s a small complaint though, in what kicks off in a promisingly intriguing way and never, ever lets the reader down.

The Lady of the Forest delivers all the adventures one could dream with a handsome knightly; its definitely stronger than ‘sweet’ but tastefully presented; historical romance fans will enjoy this one. Do read.
