Customer Reviews

Very enjoyable medieval romance

Gareth & Margery are engaging characters with both vices & virtues. Gareth's visions are a predictable fault for this sub-genre as is his hatred of her brothers, but Callen handles it well and makes him more than those cookie-cutter features would indicate. His nobility & honor intrigue. Margery manages to be both independent & needy, reckless & responsible. She's a strong character who makes a good match for this knight.The love story remains interesting, even though the lead characters are sometimes so stubborn you want to smack some sense into them. And the last 1/3 of the book, especially the ending is sweet & lovely & very romantic. There's no true villain in the piece; it's primarily a love story and needs nothing else to bolster it.

couldn't put it down

This is the first book that I have read by this author and I am now going to go out and get the first 2 in the series.The only reason why I gave it 4 stars was it was a little predictable. But a great read. The author had some interesting twists with the plot...

A FABULOUS READ

I cried at the end of this brilliant book, and I NEVER cry! Ms. Callen's characters really came alive for me, and I read this beautifully written story in one sitting. This is the third book I've read of hers, and I'm never disappointed. I can't wait for her next book. She is a rising star in the medieval romance genre.

My Lady's Guardian

When Margery Welles was a child, Sir Gareth Beaumont saved her life. They had become friends but lost touch for several years. Now that Margery is grown, Gareth senses Margery is in danger once again. Margery's danger is of a different sort now. Since she is young and unmarried, she is sought by many noblemen for her beauty and her fortune. A terrible secret prevents Margery from marrying, but Gareth sees beyond the secret and recognizes Margery for the person she is. The pageantry and intrigue of the Middle Ages comes alive in Gayle Callen's 4 1/2 star final installment in this trilogy. It's a lovely way to tie all three books together, and Gareth and Margery are characters to remember

Wicked romantic

In 1475 England, due to the strange visions he always suffered, Gareth Beaumont saved the life of eight-year old Margery Welles when treachery left her in peril. However, her brothers never trusted a Beaumont, including Gareth, and he soon began a life of a mercenary exile.Now a dozen years later, Gareth awakens from sleep knowing that that Margery is back in trouble. Although he would prefer to pretend this was a dream, he knows the Beaumont curse has sent him a vision that he cannot ignore because of his oath to Lord Welles. He travels to Margery,s home where he learns the King has granted her permission to marry anyone she chooses. She asks her childhood friend to protect her from unsavory suitors by acting as her fiancé. However, soon love enters the picture even if he is not her equal.The third installment in Gayle Callen's exciting medieval romance trilogy, MY LADY'S GUARDIAN, is an entertaining story filled with action and tension. The story line moves rapidly forward due to the antics of the engaging lead couple. As with Ms. Callen's previous novels, THE DARKEST KNIGHT and A KNIGHT'S VOW, fans of the sub-genre will relish a tale that highlights the thrilling heart-thumping elements that make historical romances so enjoyable.Harriet Klausner
