The Knight and the Dove
Back of the Book:
Eager to secure a permanent loyalty from this promising young knight, King Henry commands Bracken to marry into one of the crown’s most loyal families. But Lord Vincent’s oldest daughter, the beautiful yet deceitful Marigold, scorns the king’s edict. She will never marry a lowly earl. Now Vincent must call his beloved Megan from the abbey and send her to Hawkings Crest to wed.
When Marigold discovers that Bracken has been made a duke for his obedience, jealousy drives her to madness—a madness that will stop at nothing to bring her younger sister pain. Will Bracken rescue Megan from Marigold’s wicked scheme? Will Megan ever hear the words she longs to hear from her knight?
A moving epic of God’s tender care in even the darkest moments.
My Review:
I was a little disappointed to find that the fourth book in the Kensington Chronicles is set 300 years in the past, but I was also curious to find out how the estate called Bracken came to be known as that.
As with all of Lori Wick’s books, I wasn’t disappointed. She created an interesting story that had some odd twists and turns, especially in the beginning. I was pleasantly surprised at the turn of some events.
This is another one of those "feel-good" books that leaves you happy. It’s been too long since I’ve read this for me to remember what I learned from it, though.
