“To Kiss a Knight,” by Grace Hitchcock

A Knight to Remember!

Vivienne’s step-brother is trying to marry her off to a terrible man, Sir Josiah.  It is 1813 England, and women don’t have many options.  But if she can make her way to the home her dad left her, along with the small amount of money she has saved from writing books, she could be safe. Viviene makes her escape in the dead of night, only to have her stage stopped and robbed by a masked highwayman. He then abducts her.

It was harrowing to be with the highwayman.  But despite fighting it, Vivienne found herself attracted to him—in a small way. He was dashing, but although he brought her safely home, he robbed her, too.

To her horror, Vivienne discovers the pseudonym she has written under on her books, Lady Larkby, is part of a title still in use.  To make matters worse, she meets Sir Sebastian Larkby, called Bash, at a party, and everyone assumes they are married.

As Sir Walter Scott said, “Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive,” Vivienne must tell more lies to cover-up the initial one.  She gets in deeper and deeper, and ends up telling Bash’s dying grandmother they are married.

Additionally, Sir Josiah has tracked her down, and is insisting she marry him, while he tries to take everything she owns.  Not only must Vivienne defend her home, Bash must defend his from other dangerous sources, as well.

Vivienne finds herself in all kinds of predicaments in this delightful story.  It is full of wit, humor, and adventure. I enjoyed the character’s faith that was woven throughout the book.

Once you start reading this, you will not want to put it down.  This clean, five-star book will be enjoyed by fans of historical stories or well-written tales.  You will not want to miss this!
