A Cold Wynter's Knight: A Medieval Romance (De Reyne Domination Book 3)

Engaging from start to finish. Absolutely LOVED this story .... the main characters were so likeable and I rooted for them at every turn of the page. KLVs books have a way of tapping into genuine emotion and at several parts of the book, I was in tears.My only minor criticism is the use of foreshadowing sentences, because they heavily indicated the fate of certain characters.Otherwise a solid 5* book that I know I will read again.

The delight of having pre-ordered when this pops up on my Kindle! Settled down for an indulgent read.The H a well-liked second brother is banished on the death of their father by a disgusting elder brother for no other reason than jealousy. The h, is the eldest of four charming sisters and has been in love with the H since childhood, she won't marry and the younger sisters are impatient for her to do so that they may find husbands.After 6 long years away, the H returns to his home county (and country) as a mercenary and meets up with the h who is now a grown attractive unmarried woman. They fall deeper in love and despite the reluctance of her parents the Earl and Countess, alongside a long-suffering hopeful prospective knight courting the h whom they would prefer, the H & h eventually marry.H has a battle with his obnoxious elder brother and succeeds in claiming the Estate that had been neglected during the 6 years.What I really liked was the connection to Pamplona, Navarre as KLV rather neglects European connections which were prevalent amongst the noble families in Britain and Europe. Loved the Mediterranean mercenary louche Uncle, they certainly do exist! Said before not all mercenaries were nasty and vicious! And yes, KLV is back with her explicit steamy scenes, although the h (and a younger sister) were a little too pragmatic as opposed to wide-eyed and innocent. The h has 3 younger intriguing sisters who could all easily have their own adventures.Really enjoyed this book and certainly recommend it.

Having read all KLV full length novels, there was nothing here that was very unusual. Her style is very idiosyncratic, full of well tried phrases. So to my mind, one does not read her books for the joy of reading a fluent, descriptive, lyrical, varied vocabulary. However, she always manages to create a medieval atmosphere, even if, like here, she introduces 2 new elements, the use of coal and a link with Pamplona and the basque country. I did not really go along with the quick change of heart between the mercenary hero and the little girl he knew 6 years previously; it seemed a bit contrived as did the fates of the long suffering suitor Brian and the heroin's father. The other sisters' love stories did not add much to the main tale. There were however, one or two very moving scenes, the details of which I cannot reveal without spoiling the story.If you are a seasoned KLV fan, the chances are you will like this book. If you are new to her writing it might be better to start with her de Wolfe series.

This was a good read. Kept me focused. There was fun and sad bits. Love and loyalty. Family disputes . Romances

Another well deserved 5* Review. I am continually amazed at the quality of KLV's writing, virtually every book of hers that I've read has been of such a high standard and this one is no exception. I would also like to pay tribute to KLV not only on the superb storylines, but the fact that her books are of a good length and the excellent pricing of her books, when many authors books are showing ridiculous price hikes, KLV remains loyal to her fans and for that I commend her. Needless to say I am waiting patiently for her next release.

I love a book from Kathryn. These are one of the few books where I can’t just move onto the next book like you can with some, you need a physical break to digest and process what you’ve just read as it is such an emotional ride.This book didn’t disappoint, but none of them ever do. It was a wonderful story, exciting, tender and just brilliant.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💋💋Just stunning!This book has everything you need from a KLV novel.Danger, romance, treasonous behaviour, tearful moments, battle scenes, death scenes, weddings scenes, brilliant characters, off the charts chemistry, outstanding writing.You really can’t ask for much more.Oh don’t forget the obligatory box of tissues, definitely a good idea.I received an Arc copy of this book and chose to post this review

I enjoyed this tale a great deal it has a warm rich filled storyline with great characters with happy and sad moments making you feel involved.
