Boundless by Tamara Leigh

 My review today is on the Medival Romance, Boundless. This is book six in the series, Age of Conquest. I'm a great fan of Tamara's books and I really liked this one. It's well-written, action-packed, and full of drama. I know you are going to love it.

Marguerite goes to her grandfather's to get her mother and bring her back to Scotland; when she arrives at her Norman family home, she finds her mother dead and buried in a field of weeds. Her nurse and her escort are murdered and she flees for her life. She is found by Saxon rebels but fears her voice carries both the Norman accent and the Scottish influence. She signals she is mute. After years with the rebels, she is sent to Scotland with an escort. A village is burned to the ground by the Normans. She hears what sounds like a baby crying and sees a Norman soldier run towards it. She sets a trap and the Norman is wounded along with one of her Scots. She recognizes the Norman and cares for him on the road to Scotland.

Theriot D'Argent returned to the village that was burned. He looked for survivors. He heard what sounded like a baby but was really a cat. He sees men chasing a woman and runs to help her but is attacked. When he wakes he is blind and captured by the Scot's. A woman attends to him but the one man he had wounded is in the wagon with him. What will happen next?

A terrifying journey in a world of darkness. A world with war on every side; Saxons, Normans, Danes, and Scots all fighting for the English countryside. God has a plan for these two broken souls; a good plan for hope and a future. God has a plan for you too, a plan for peace and not for destruction even in our world today. Give Him your heart and watch Him move in your life.

Fearless by Tamara Leigh

My review today is on the Medieval Romance, Fearless. This is book two in the Age of Conquest Series. I really liked this book. I so enjoy Tamara's work. I didn't really care for Lady Hawisa in the first book but I did in this one as she became a more vulnerable character. As an author, I can't imagine how hard it is to write these two stories in parallel and keep all the details straight. This book is well-written, action-packed, and full of adventure. I can't wait for the next story.

Saxon Lady Hawisa lost her Norman husband to the war. Now after another battle she is searching for her young son. As she searches all the dead bodies she is attacked and almost ravished. She is rescued by a young silver-haired Norman. He takes her into the woods to keep her safe. For his trouble, he is set upon by a band of Saxons and taken captive. Isa finds her dead son and goes into mourning. When she comes unto herself she finds that her rescuer is held and being tortured. She helps him but doesn't turn him loose. She is afraid of the man's brothers. She finds herself drawn to the man but there is no hope for a future between them. She is the leader of the Saxons a warrior. She is a Wulfrith and doesn't need a man. She must hold onto her lands.

Sir Guarin D'Argent fought in the battle and is now searching for his uncle and his brothers. He sees a woman being attacked and takes off to rescue her. She is uncooperative so he knocks her unconscious to save her. He takes he to the woods to hide her from the looters. He is captured, beaten and tortured. They hold him for almost two years. During this time he is drawn to Hawisa the rebel leader. He must keep her safe from her own man who is trying to destroy her and take over her rebels.

A journey of deception, lies, and secrets. The Normans have won the war but the Saxon refuse to be conquered. God has a plan for these two, a plan for a hope and a future. God has a plan for you too, a good plan and not for evil. Trust Him, He loves you and God is good.
