Lady Madelaine through the past years has suffered greatly at the hands of her brother, and has finally planned her escape from him. But on the day that plans on leaving her brother captures Baron Duncan of Wexton. And through a small act of kindness, an act that could have gotten her killed, she rescues him from being frozen to death, and even though Duncan knew his men were scaling the walls, in effort to locate the one woman who has landed right in his lap for the taking as revenge for what her brother did to him. So he takes Madelyne, even though she is more than willing to go along with him, but she plans to run away to find her relative that lives in Scotland. But the more time Madelyne is in her captors hands, the stronger her feelings have become towards him. A man who needs her love and her heart.Honor's Splendor is a wonderful book by Julie Garwood. It takes place in 1099 and I just love this time period, such a romantic period in history, and I love Medieval romances, and this one just took my breath away. I think I was charmed after the first chapter, I just loved how Madelyne saves the one man that is determined to take her captive, even though she really doesn't mind it as long as he takes her away from her brutal brother. We see a story that will make you laugh yet still end up being a tender romance that will leave you aching for more by the last page. I have truly enjoyed reading Julie Garwood's historicals, and this one I definitely want to end up buying, a well worth it read!!! A Classic romance that will pull at your heartstrings, and make you wonder where your "Wolf" is, I know I do LOL A Fabulous read!!! My Favorite Quote Before she could even think about pulling away, he looped the belt around her wrist and bound her hands together. And then he spoke "I didn't come for Louddon, Madelyne. I came for you"
Finally a historical romance without intrigue without LYING TO ONE ANOTHER or oneself (about their feelings). I am so happy that there weren't ANY misunderstandings. And it is a standalone!!!!! Didn't appreciate the homophobia though. Also I don't like it when the ages are mysteries. If someone knows other hist. Romances like I described pls do recommend!
I really liked this up until maybe 65% in and then it kind of lost its spark, still enjoyable though
5 stars 🌟 I absolutely loved this book. I’ve read some of Julie Garwood’s books before, but this one is my favorite so far. Madelyne was funny, strong and a pleasure to read. Duncan was an alpha warrior with a total soft side which I loved! While the plot was predictable, it was still so captivating. One of my favorites for the time period.
