[spoiler alert]
I’ve been waiting for Knight of Love by Catherine LaRoche
for a long time. Now that I’ve finished, gotta ask myself; did it live
up to my expectations? I have to say both ‘yes’ and ‘no’. What I can
honestly say is that I still have no complaints about ClR’s writing
style as it was as splendid as ever.
But first, let me tell you about Master of Love,
which is not really connected, except for some of the recurring
characters. It was Callista’s story. An orphaned bluestocking and a
book-dealer, she finds herself in financial jeopardy. Fortunately, she
gets an offer that just might help changing her situation. This also
leads her to meet the rich and superbly handsome ‘Master of Love’
Viscount Avery, Dominick or Dom, which changes her life forever. The Ton
has an impression that Dom is an air-headed lord. Not Really! Dom has a
brilliant mind that he has hidden under a rakish reputation carefully
cultivated to fool people to stave off heartbreaks and ridicule. I mean
who cares about a scholarly Lord who loves writing Philosophical texts,
right? When an uncle leaves him with a huge library full of books that
needs to be cataloged, Callista is hired. Her graceful bearing catches
Dom’s attention the very first day. Sparks fly whenever they meet. After
all the ups and downs, love and adoration win the day. I really enjoyed
their interactions; they were a couple I felt were meant to be together
right from the start.
