Lady Sabine is harboring a skin blemish, one, that if revealed, could cause her to be branded as a witch, put her life in danger, and damage her chances of making a good marriage. After all, what nobleman would want to marry a woman so flawed?
Sir Bennet is returning home to protect his family from an imminent attack by neighboring lords who seek repayment of debts. Without fortune or means to pay those debts, Sir Bennet realizes his only option is to make a marriage match with a wealthy noblewoman. As a man of honor, he loathes the idea of courting a woman for her money, but with time running out for his family’s safety, what other choice does he have?
As Lady Sabine and Sir Bennet are thrust together under dangerous circumstances, will they both be able to learn to trust each other enough to share their deepest secrets? Or will those secrets ultimately lead to their demise?
For Love and Honor is your classic medieval fairytale Christian romance novel with a hallmark twist. This is the third book in a series (it can be read standalone) by the well-known author Jody Hedlund. Her books feel like a cheeser version of Melanie Dickerson, so if you are looking for more books like that, Jody is your girl!
This was a quicker read that will transport you to the olden days, where honor, reputation, and beauty are everything. Sir Bennet confused me because he was all about honor at the beginning and end of the book, but the way he acted in the middle did not show that. The character development also did not make the most sense to me, and the story was dramatic, but that’s the cheesy part for you. The story as a whole could have been better, but it was still entertaining, and it did not have any spice except for a few kisses and a desire to kiss, which is a plus.
Each one of us is imperfect in someway. Perhaps God designs it so. Then none of us can claim to be like him, the only truly perfect being.
I know this is supposed to be a fairytale retelling, but after reading the whole book, I still don’t know which fairytale it is supposed to be haha. I think maybe Beauty and the Beast; if you have any ideas, let me know!
Things to Mention: There are a few kisses with little to no detail. Characters also desire to kiss. There is some violence when Sabine is accused of being a witch including being locked in a cage, some rough handling, etc.
