As a fan of Jill Barnett, this book brought me so much joy. I found it delightful and a pleasure to read.
Book Description
After too many years on the battlefield, Merrick de Beaucourt is looking forward to a simple life of peace and quiet with a docile wife at his side. But when he finally fetches his bride-to-be from a secluded English convent, he finds he needs more than his knight’s spurs to bring order to his life.
When betrothed at fifteen to the legendary English knight she had never met, Lady Clio of Camrose believed that love was something magical. But her youthful hopes faded as she l
anguished in a convent for six long years, never hearing a word from Merrick.
Weary of war, Lord Merrick finds little peace guarding the wild Welsh borders, and even less with the wife whose trust he destroyed. But as Lady Clio comes to understand the dark knight she so blindly wed, she sees a chance to make her dreams come true.
Amidst the enchanted mists that envelop Camrose Castle, they will battle together to discover a place where all things are possible, even a love that is rare and wonderful.

My Thoughts
Having read previous books by Jill Barnett I had some idea I would like this book as I enjoy her writing. However, I did not expect to enjoy it so much.
I know many have stated they did not like this book as much or didn't like the characters but I enjoyed both.
I love that our heroine Lady Clio wasn't a simpering, withering flower but a lady who knew what she wanted. I liked she didn't coward under Lord Merrick's touch reign. I also enjoyed the chemistry between the two.
As for Lord Merrick, he was a lovely hero. Strong, intelligent, and protective but also willing to bend some. I liked he treated everyone fairly.
I enjoy the bickering between the two main characters and that they connected. There was also much action and the romance was nice.
I will admit that my favorite characters were the two misfits Thud and Thwark and the old witch. They brought me much joy.
Overall this book was a lovely romance between two very strong-willed people. I am excited to read the next in the series.
