The Yielding (Age of Faith Series, Book 2) by Tamara Leigh

Book Description:
     The Unveiling, the first book in the Age of Faith series, introduced readers to the formidable Wulfrith family during Duke Henry’s battle for England’s throne in 1153. Now, four years later, Henry wears the crown, but the Wulfriths are no less defiant—and no more amenable to forging alliances through king-decreed marriage.

SHE HAD KILLED A MAN. OR SO IT WAS SAID…

Convent-bound Lady Beatrix Wulfrith is determined to aid her sister in escaping marriage to their family’s enemy. Unaware of the sacrifice that awaits her, she leads their pursuers astray only to meet with an accident that forever alters her destiny and takes the life of a young knight whose brother vows he will not rest until the lady is brought to justice.

Lord Michael D’Arci is a warrior and a womanizer whose foul mouth and impatience bode ill for all who trespass against him. Falsely accused of ravishment years earlier, he refuses to believe Lady Beatrix’s accusations against his deceased brother. However, when he finds himself at the mercy of that same woman who clings to her convictions and faith even when it threatens to prove her undoing, his quest for justice wavers.

     Leigh has once again created a masterfully woven, medieval tale!  This one not only held my interest but has planted seeds and excitement for the next book in the series.  Since I had already read the description of Book 3, I kept trying to figure out how the circumstances in this book were leading into the next.  I am sure you will find this book to be a page turner, just as I did. It is exciting, romantic and dashed with suspense, a sure crowd pleaser.

 

    Lady Beatrix is a strong and likable main character.  Leigh has no problem writing good characters, with depth and the ability for you to care about them and see them come to life off the page.  I liked seeing the character development of Lord Michael D'Arci and the way Leigh wove the seeds of faith and truth throughout this novel.  There was one point in the story, where I thought Leigh might take the relationship between the two characters in a direction I was not comfortable with but needless to say just a few paragraphs later my fears were relieved.  I really enjoyed this novel and look forward to the next book... I see where a book 4 is in the works but it isn't listed online yet for pre-order but I have a feeling once it is I will be placing my order!
