Knight of Desire by Margaret Mallory


Genre: Historical Romance; 1400’s, All the King's Men
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Fearless in battle. His surcoat still bloody from battle, William FitzAlan comes to claim the strategic borderlands granted to him by the king. One last prize awaits him at the castle gates: the lovely Lady Catherine Rayburn. Tender in bed. Catherine risked everything to spy for the crown. Her reward? Her lands are declared forfeit and she is given this choice: marry FitzAlan or be taken to the Tower. Catherine agrees to give her handsome new husband her body, but she's keeping secrets, and dare not give him her heart. As passion ignites and danger closes in, Catherine and William must learn to trust in each other to save their marriage, their land, and their very lives.

This is the first book in the All the King's Men series. William is the King’s man. He has even been called the King Maker. He is told that he can have Lady Catherine Rayburn as a wife or send her to the Tower. Lady Catherine has been spying for the king as her husband was going against the king. But the two are not sure if either can trust the other with their secrets. The tale is well written and though I’m not big on how defenseless Lady Catherine is portrayed at times I still like her as the heroine. It is one of those books that is a nice quick read. I look forward to reading the next book in this series, Knight of Pleasure.
