The tides of war have turned for the valiant Scots led by King Robert the Bruce, and they boldly reclaim lands still ruled by the English. When Jamie Graham comes to seize Hamstead Heath, he has no need for a captive -- not even one as beautiful and spirited as Christina, the manor's chatelaine but after her attempts to trick him fail, she insists that he take her away as his hostage. Though he is certain this confounding woman is trying to play him for a fool, Jamie is determined to claim the sweet temptation she offers.Christina has but one goal in mind -- to flee her brother from the fortress of the new English king who has accused her family of treason. Her growing love for her unwilling captor is both unexpected and thrilling, yet it must not deter her mission -- to master the art of jousting, win a tournament in disguise, and secure her brother's release. She cannot foresee the twist of fate that will threaten all she holds dear: her life, her land...and the man who has captured her heart.
The Lion In Glory is the fourth book about the Graham family. I enjoyed all of series. A good, fast read. I only wished that the series would have continued!
LOVED IT!!!!!

THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT BOOK!!! I LOVE THE GRAHAM'S. I HOPE THAT SHANNON DRAKE CONTINUES WITH THIS FAMILY. THE MEN ARE WONDERFUL. BIG, MUSCULAR, MANLY MEN WHO ARE CAPABLE OF LOVE. SOMETHING EVERY WOMAN WANTS. THE HEROINES TEND TO BE A BIT SELFISH AND AT TIMES FRUSTRATING, BUT, THAT DOES NOT KEEP THIS FROM BEING ONE OF THE BEST SHANNON DRAKE BOOKS THAT I HAVE READ. WELL, ALL OF HER BOOKS ARE GREAT, BUT, THE GRAHAM SAGA IS EXCEPTIONAL. FOR ANOTHER GOOD GRAHAM NOVEL, TRY ERIC'S STORY THE KNIGHT TRIUMPHANT.
WONDERFUL, GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!!!

I loved this book! I think maybe I must of have read a different book then the first reviewer but this book is great! I love Shannon Drake and have read all the previous books in this series about the Grahams. To be honest, this story is not a disappointment. In all fairness to the first reviewer, she did state this was her first Shannon Drake book; therefore, she has not read the previous ones. Go back to the begining "Come The Morning" and read the rest in order, "Conquer The Night, Seize The Dawn, and Knight Triumphant." I highly recommended this book as either part of the series or even as a stand alone.
