La hermosa y delicada Alienor de Sologne adopta una solucion deseseperada para evitar su forzoso matrimonio con Colin de Berkamshire, el mas salvaje, egolatra y brutal ademas de poco aseado- caballero del reino. Una noche, oculta bajo la pesada armadura de su hermano, escapa a caballo del castillo dejando atras a su padre y a su odiosa madrastra. Pero el destino tiene caminos insospechados, y llevara a la joven Ali, en su papel del aguerrido caballero Henri, a formar parte de la escolta de una joven dama, la fragil Sybil, que resulta ser la nueva prometida de... el propio Colin de Berkamshire. Podra Ali mantener su identidad secreta? / With its gruff, burly hero and warrior-like heroine, Kurland's winsome medieval-era romance fearlessly flies in the face of convention. Colin of Berkhamshire, also known as the Butcher, is so fearsome that all of his prospective brides have created excuses to avoid marrying him-all except one. Alinore of Sologne simply vanished and, disguised as a knight, secured a position attending Lady Sybil of Maignelay. Posing as Sir Henri, Alinore accompanies Sybil to meet the man to whom she has been secretly betrothed. Too late, Henri realizes that the bridegroom is the infamous Butcher. Her horror intensifies when Colin, who prides himself on his fighting skills, makes it his mission to teach Henri sword skills and manliness of speech and mannerisms. Alinore's wild imagination and Colin's resemblance to a large mastiff hound (with a tough exterior and soft interior) keep the narrative bursting with fun. The plot takes an even more delightful turn after Colin realizes Henri is his runaway Alinore and he sets about wooing her with suave lines like You look, um, quite a bit like a girl. A disarming blend of romance, suspense and heartwarming humor, this book is romantic comedy at its best.
