5.0 out of 5 stars 2/3 of the way and I love it., Jul 27 2000

By	Michael Fedor "knight of cyberspace" (N. Huntingdon, PA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Okay, I love books about knights and chivalry. So, after searching through Amazon dot com, I found the book called, "The Angel Knight" and ordered it believing it to be a "regular novel". When I received it in the mail, I found it to be a "romance novel" indstead. I thought to myself, "Gee, guys don't read Romance novels, do they?"

After setting it asside while I get my other novel read, I returned to "The Angel Knight" and decided to give it a chance. (Er, well, since I am a budding writer, I think I will learn from Mrs. King's style about how romance is done.) Almost a couple of chapters in, I was moved at how strong and noble Lady Cristian was and how the author had worked in St. Michael the Archangel into the story. (She named her child after him.) Sir Gavin also is a noble character - everything a good guy should be. Although I admit, I have not fully read the entire book as I am writing this review, I have to say that I like everything about it so far.

Now, I'm not sure if Mrs King routinely checks up on the customers reviews on here, I would just like her to know that I like her work and will look forward to purchasing books written about Lady Christian and her family. (As I have found the apparent sequel to this novel, "Lady Miracle", continuing Lady Christian's daughters adventures right before deciding to write a review) Thank you, Mrs. King.

Hm... this would make for a wonderful summer blockbuster movie. I could help on the screenplay! *chuckles*

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful...., Jul 4 2000

By	Christine Holroyd (Pomona, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Here's the scoope. The time is 1307 and Lady Christian has been imprisoned in a cage and left to die. Sir Gavin arrives and ultimately removes her from her prison and marries her, believing she is will die from her sickness (this was the kings demand of Sir Gavin to spare her life). However, she lives and soon realizes she is married to an Englishman (she is Scottish). The next half of the book shows her coming to deal with her new "English" husband. Her hatred of him dwindles away because, I have to admit, he is such a sweetie. He treats her the way we would all wish to be treated (with love and respect). However, she still has strong ties to her family and she does make a very bad choice, causing hurt to the man she now loves. There is also excitement in the book while the reader tries to figure out if the myth of treasure in the castle actually exist and where it could be hidden. I'm rather partial to this book since the hero reminds me of my husband (when I told him this he blushed, smiled and grunted, then walked away. I guess the grunting is some secret male language). Susan King is an excellent writer who is able to pull at your heart strings and make you wish you were back in that time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating read, carefully and thoroughly researched, April 21 1999

By A Customer

Susan King takes an impossible situation and makes it possible without falling back on coincidences or contrivences. Angel Knight gets into the heart of the Scottish/British conflict with lazer-sharp precision while telling an entertaining and compelling story. Kudos, Susan!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars An easy, enjoyable read
This is the first novel I've read by Susan King. It does not sport quite as many of the gratuitous sex scenes of other romance writers, a welcome relief. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Quite a different hero!
Gavin Faulkener isn't like most Englishmen in 14th c. Scotland: He has some morals. Christian MacGillean, a relative of the outlawed Scots king, Robert Bruce, is wholly like most... Read more
