SSR #1 A Maiden's Heart

 The book I read was entitled "A Maiden's Heart" by Julie Beard. The book is a historical romance novel. In the book, the main character Sir Hugh Greyhurst is a recently retired knight-errant. He injured his leg in a match and after one of his pals passes on he decides to quit the life of being an errant and search for a wife. Many of his fellow knight-errants disagreed and mocked him of his decision. He ignored them and found a wife who is a daughter of a dying Baron. Lady Margrete is the lonesome lady who is not longing for a marriage but is willing to marry Sir Hugh due to her father's wishes. However she has restrictions for the marriage which leaves Sir Hugh in distraught. But those restrictions aren't the only conflicts Sir Hugh is facing.

I liked this book because of the way it is written. The terminology used and structure of the whole text is very romantic, maybe too romantic though. Though there are a few words here and there that confused me due to the fact that they were used back in the medieval times. I enjoyed a few character developments such as Lady Margrete's. She went from uptight and prissy, to calm and collected and risky at the end of the book. But if I were you I wouldn't read this book because there are many explicit parts in this book (that I didn't even think would be in there) that may not be appropriate for viewers like you, thank you.

  1. It sounds like a good read but I feel like it wouldn't be the book for me. The words that are used would confuse me too much. I am glad you enjoyed most of the book though.
