Romantic Times Review,
By
This review is from: Goldhawk (Paperback)
Escaping an unwanted marriage and hoping to find her sweetheart, who has joined the Knights Templar, Lindsey Ware convinces her father to take her on his pilgrimage to the Holy Land. But on their harrowing journey she is abducted and held for ransom by the daring brigand Goldhawk. Goldhawk has long ago forsaken the West for the allure and profit of the East. Beneath the surface he is a man of honor and one who prizes a woman like Lindsey. In Goldhawk's kiss Lindsey discovers a passion greater than she has ever known and a destiny she could only dream about. Though Goldhawk releases Lindsey when her ransom is paid, he follows her along the arduous journey. Together they share blissful trysts and passion-filled nights and soon find themselves enmeshed in peril when Lindsey overhears the Templars' secret plan. But even more danger and adventure await when Lindsey, the pilgrims, the Templars and Goldhawk are trapped by the Turks. Lindsey is carried off to be a slave and, like in the tales of 1001 Nights, she prays for a hero to rescue her from her captors. Patricia Werner sweeps the reader off to the exotic and exciting world of the Medieval Middle East in a tale as mesmerizing as one of Scheherazade's stories. The daring Goldhawk, the brave pilgrims and the fascinating Knights Templar all come to life through her colorful descriptions and heart-stopping adventure. SENSUAL

Not enamored with the love story but the unique setting bumps this up to a three star read,
By Melissa - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Goldhawk (Paperback)
Goldhawe is one of the romance novels that wants to be epic in scope but needs more pages to create a sense of legend. The plot is original and the settings from England to the Middle East are too; I just was not drawn much to the romance of this story.Heroine Lyndsey ware is in a bit if a conundrum. Her father is a deeply pious man who has betrothed her to a lecherous older nobleman. Lyndsey is desperate to escape her upcoming marriage as she is in love with a landless Knight. She devises a way to forestall her marriage by accompanying her father on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Her Knight though is tricked into believing she has left him for good and he takes vows to join the Templars. Readers will be confused about the romance of this story because there are two main love interests of Lyndsey, her landless knight and a brigand called Goldhawke who is really a European named Guy de Jansens who has banded with a group of men that rob pilgrims on their way to Jerusalem. Lyndsey is captured by him and they form an attraction. Before a ransom is payed for Lyndsey she falls pretty hard for Guy. When they part who should Lyndsey see but her Templar Knight, he is a member of a group of knights escorting the pilgrims toward Jerusalem. I have to state I was unsure about Lyndsey's devotion to either love interest. She seemed fickle and her time with Guy is in spurts. They come together at brief times, he rescues her but the Templars are also there to ensure their safety too. The rich detail of the period and the fine description of the settings were easy to visualize. The main characters though were not as engrossing (some secondary characters are more interesting) and I wish that Lyndsey would have had more time with her hero. |
