When Kit wakes in the past she has no choice but to go with the knight that stands before. The sword at her throat determines that. With absolutely no idea on how to return home, Kit will be called upon to use every bit of strength and love to stay alive long enough to do so. Even with Marcus' help it might not be possible. Will these two lovers find a way to be together for all time? Can Kit trust that once made, it will never be broken? Perhaps. It is after all, A KNIGHT'S VOW.

Good Idea but.............2007-04-19

Good Idea and the concept is great but it was executed horribly. First, who ever edited this book should get a new job because there were way too many errors and inconsistencies. As an avid reader these errors take away from the story and makes it harder to read. I also believe it would have been more appealing if the characters spoke in old English while in England, also the plots time line was not consistent. Overall, there are a lot more problems with the book but I do commend the writer for having the courage to write her first book. I would suggest this book to anyone who just wants to read a book but it is lacking lots of substance that would make it a good book.

A quibble.......2007-02-08

While the premise of this book was quite fascinating and delectable, I found that the frequency of grammatical and spelling errors distracted me from the book itself. This book clearly needed to go through the editorial process at least three more times. There were some passages that totally did not need to be there and thus much of the book came across as redundant.

Also, the language and speech patterns of men and women who live in the 12th century were not even adhered or applied in the novel. I was quite frustrated that author had not researched the lifestyle and language of people that lived in the 12th century of merry Olde England and neither did the author make her knights plausible. Knights at that period of time don't seem like the type to be buddy-buddy, and men in our time are leery of getting as close as the main characters friends do in the book. This book felt like someone threw it together without really considering how much hard work and dedication it takes to write a time-travel romance. I found it very hard to believe that the female main character was transported to England from Kentucky without some type of backstory or explanation as to why the mists alter her life as it did. At least have her be in England while she goes back in time.

Other than that, I loved the book. I gives me hope that I too can write time-travel romance with an interracial/multicultural couple. I just wished that the novel itself had more of a polished aura about it.

Good Story, But needs work.......2006-12-18

This book wasn't as good as I thought becasuse the editor didn't do their job. many sentences were run-on, words were missplept and words were left out. Soneone should have corrected that before it wen tot print. Also the female character was too brash. Whatever she said Marcus had to agree to it like some stupid little dog. And she knew too much. She was like a freaking superwoman. Please this was supposed to be a romance story not a story for Marvel comments.
The dialouge needed work as Kit and Marcus didn't speak entirely the way they should given the time that were each born in. Marcus was slipping into slang that he shouldn't have known and Kit was speaking so proper at times as if she was trying to please Marcus. Yeah right, she wouldn't even dress for him.
I didn't understand how Marcus entered her time and how did he assimilate into the 21st century so easily? Where did he get money from? Did he take some of wealth with in a chest? It was never explained. Even when she was returned it was a bit fuzzy.
It would have been a better story if there was more research done. Case in point:Marcus' castle having windows. The time is supposed to be 1103, but windows weren't in English castles until 1180 or 1190.

Wow !!.......................2006-11-09

this book was the best interracial book that i've read in a long time, even though the racial part didn't stand out in this book as with others, that i've read. i'm thinking that in the medieval times,(this was medieval times wasn't it? or close to it?) was racial really an issue? anyway my rating for this book is far beyond five, i've never read any of aliyah burke writing but after reading "A Knight's Vow" i'd say i'm hook. no i didn't write any thing about the book, because if you're a serious book reader as am i,then you should read it for yourself, you won't be dissapointed!!!

A Knight's Vow - Having My Cake..........2006-08-13

I love this book. It combines two of my favorite genres - Time Travel and Interracial Romance. The result - a sweet read with a very satisfying ending.

4 Different Stories from 4 Different Authors.......2006-09-13

I find it hard to rate books like these because you have to give an overall rating for four different stories. One of these stories was really quite good while the others were just okay.

1st Lynn Kurland's The Traveller-Julianna is a modern day unemployed woman with multiple degrees in ancient languages. She is sitting on a park bench reading a letter from her friend who lives in Scotland and believes in time travel when she herself is transported to a castle under siege in 1299. She is rescued by William de Piaget great grandson of Robin of Artane who made a vow to God to help all maidens in distress. William ends up losing his castle to save Julianna's life, but they fall in love and marry. They end up travelling back to the future and it is kind of comical to see how people adjust to different time eras. However, this short story loses what Lynn Kurland is a master at and that is taking the time to develop her characters so that you know how they think by the end. This story is just okay.

2nd-Patricia Potter-The Minstrel-I liked this story but once again it is just too short to really draw you in. Duncan is a wealthy lord who makes a vow to his dying mother to marry for love, so he disguises himself and travels as a minstrel to find a woman that will fall in love with him not his name and title. The only problem is his musical talents are limited. He meets Lynet in an open field and mistakenly believes she is a peasant woman. He hears her singing and asks her to meet him every day to give him music lessons. Lynet is really the daughter of a wealthy landowner who is being forced to marry. She must choose a suitable husband within a fortnight. When caught in a compromising position , Duncan is captured and Lynet threatened with being sent to a nunnery. No one realizes Duncan is a lord and would be perfect for Lynet...but then they escape together and things come together.

3rd Deborah Simmons-The Bachelor Knight-This is my least favorite of the four. Beren returns to his foster home and marries Guenivere to save her from being married to a land hungry lord. Each had secretly loved the other in their youth, but a bunch of misunderstandings lead them to believe the other has no feelings to return. I just couldn't warm up to this story and some parts never made sense.

4th Glynnis Campbell's The Siege-This was by far the best of the four short stories. Campbell comes close to delivering the perfect short story but you end up wishing for more. Hilaire is escaping through a tunnel in her family's keep to avoid a marriage by order of the King to the Black Gryphon. He is rumored to have killed his first three wives and when he comes to marry her she convinces her father to go under siege until she has time to escape. Ryance, the Black Gryphon, is misunderstood. He is not a violent, evil man, but one who suffered through a series of misfortunes and lost three wives and a daughter through no fault of his own. The king orders him to marry and produce an heir. He goes to meet his bride and when her father resists, rather than beat down the doors and risk injuring anyone, he decides to dig under the foundation. He is unaware his bride to be is in the tunnel attempting to escape him. Ryance ends up buried in a landslide and then hears a young woman crying for help. He manages to dig his way to her but realizes they are trapped and most likely will die without oxygen. Hilaire doesn't at first realize that her rescuer is her husband to be and she is amazed and charmed at how gentle he is and the pains he goes through to convince her he will get them out alive. He even digs through rocks until his nails come off to keep her calm until the end. Ryance wishes things were different and he could have ended up marrying and loving this young woman. He vows he will do everything in his power to make her final moments less terrifying. The two talk and open up to one another and fall in love within a short amount of time, when Hilaire finally realizes who Ryance is, she is remorseful and wishes she had done things differently. She knows he is not the person the rumors make them to be. I loved this story and wish it were a full novel. BTW, things work out better than you first believe.

Stories 1 and 3 * * * Stories 2 and 4 * * * * * .......2006-02-14

1. Lynn Kurland-* * * This story might have been better if it were more developed. It was okay, not boring but no pizazz at all. William of Artane was a pretty good hero and could have shined in a full length story. Julianna Nelson was adorable.

2. Patricia Potter- * * * * * This was a very charming, subtle story with great sentimental characters. Duncan, so handsome, and Lynet, a lovely and loyal person, were sweet together. It was a joy reading this one!

3. Deborah Simmons- * * * For the most part this story was quite boring, but it did pick up a bit - most notably with Guenivere's tearful confession of love to Beren.

4. Glynnis Campbell- * * * * * This was the other great story. Ryance was a great hero, very handsome and vulnerable in a charming sort of way, and Hilaire was very lovely. My only problem with this story was how to pronounce the names.

So-So.......2005-04-28

This collection is worth reading solely for Lynn Kurland's story and it isn't one of her best. However, it could have been if they had been smart enough to have her write it as a full length novel. The other stories were boring as hell. I do not understand why the publisher persists in having Lynn write short stories. They are NOT her forte. She is too good an author to waste like that.

Three decent, one so-so.......2002-08-07

It's been a week since I've read this, and the best in the book was the first story. Light-hearted and fun, it's about a woman who is at a point in her life - no job, no money, no boyfriend, and starting a diet - and she gets a letter from her romance novelist friend. In the letter, her friend invites her to visit and includes a map, warning her that there are places that you can accidently step back into to time. Thinking the warnings a joke, the heroine ignores this advice and ends up going back in time. Usually, I don't like time-travel romance, because they are not always written well, but this one was written with a great sense of humor.

The rest of the book was also diverting, and after the sample chapter at the back for Ms. Campbell's new book, I am excited to put "My Warrior" on my going to read list.

In search of a new twist to an old theme.......2002-07-28

A Knight's Vow consists of four stories with the same theme - knight's vowing to "honor and protect helpless women" ends up marrying the "respsonsibility" they had taken care of.

Only the first and the last stories are worth a read. I have been a fan of all Lynn Kurland's time travel series and this story continues to interest me. A must read to add your collection of her time series.

The last one, "the seige" is also a must read for a new author. It is entertaining and caught my attention throughout the story. I wished it were longer. The idea of "knowing a person's soul first before the body" is an interesting part. And thus I am taking my time to collect all three of Gylnnis Campbell's de ware trilogy.

However the two stories in the middle -- "the minstrel" & "bachelor knight" were a bore. The minstrel was soo predictable that I could not finish the whole book. I felt like I would make up a better plot than Ms Potter. The concept of the "bachelor knight" was a good one. However, Ms. Simmons seems to fail at the task of developing a full entertaining and cohesive storyline along the concept. It is like watching the Movie "Scorpion King" after the two Mummy series that you have to laugh. Although all the ingredients are there, there is just something missing.

Book Description

He was her father's enemy, and now he was her husband by the king's decree. But that didn't mean Lady Isabel Atherstone planned on honoring James Markham, Earl of Bolton, with her love. She only hoped that her hasty marriage would bring her closer to the revenge she sought adn finally restore her family's name. But then, the willful new bride hadn't counted on what would happen when her handsome husband took her to the marriage bed.

James Markham was thunderstruck. Though an age-old family rivalry kept his new wife at arms against him, she quivered with desire beneath his touch. Now the newly married earl wondered if his passion would be his undoing. For though the lady swore she'd never love him, her eyes told another tale--one that made the earl vow to possess her completely.

Customer Reviews:

a good book but not as good as the first in the series.......2002-02-19

This is the second book in the series. The 1st book"The Darkest Knight" was much more tender and loving. I enjoyed the fact that in this book the bad brother from the first book has a chance to become the hero and mends the rift in his family. This is James's story. We first meet him as he is being attacted by the heroine in the story, Isabel, or Angel as he calls her. She is trying to finish the revenge her family has started against his family. She steals from him and leaves him bloody and bested by a woman only to show up again at his castle in his bedroom. She flees after a struggle with a very naked James. She is soon caught though and he has her thrown in his dungeon. He soon finds himself commanded by his King to marry her. He is stunned but more so she. She dresses like a man, has no idea how to act like a lady or even a civilized human being. He tries to get her to change but she is as stubborn as he. They fight the attraction they have for each other and only after a long struggle do they finally admit they care for one another. I will enjoy reading a book about James's sister hopefully in the near future.

What Vow?.......2000-02-28

Author Gayle Callen, who writes with enthusiasm, did not shrink from her depiction of Isabel "Black Angel" Atherstone. James Markham was also easy to visualize. Unfortunately, only Isabel had ambition in the one-note plot of A KNIGHT'S VOW. The Black Angel's attempts to achieve her goal of revenge though, were enacted through a series of scenes that led nowhere and became repetitious. Poor Isabel's low self-esteem made her a pitiable rather than a sympathetic character.

Neither hero nor heroine fulfilled any need in the other, evolved, or worked together toward a common purpose. They did make numerous attempts to have sex, but were always interrupted. This tiresome devise of many romance novels rarely builds tension (let them DO IT already) so when a couple finally comes together it had better be good. Sorry to disappoint, but this consummation was not climactic. In fact, the story, itself, had no climax.

Use your apparent talent, Ms. Callen. Give your characters something to do and a story to do it in.

A Knight's Vow was a pleasure!.......2000-01-31

She was the Black Angel, a woman who sought revenge against James Markaha, Earl of Bolton. But soon Lady Isabel, aka The Black Angel, finds herself married to the man she hates. Is their married life to be reduced to the endless pursuit of revenge, or could there be something more to it . . . could it be love? 1486, a time of knights, a ladies . . . and love. Gayle Callen wove a beautiful tapestry of all three.

I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!.......1999-11-04

The story of Isabel, the lady warrior, and James Markham, Earl of Bolton, was so riveting that I couldn't put it down until I found out how these two people would solve their problems and fall in love. I didn't want this story to end. The sexual tension sizzled in this very sensual book. The author is incredibly skilled and talented as a story-teller. I just loved it and you will, too.

If you love a fast pasted, action packed romance, this is IT.......1999-11-04

Gayle Callen's "A Knight's Vow" is truly a fabulous read that you will not want to put down or end. Ms. Callen takes the classic battle of the sexes to new heights of humor, excitement and tenderness. This book is brilliantly written with characters so memorable they quite jump off the page and grab your heart. It's a must read for fans of famous boy vs. girl pairings like Hepburn & Tracy or Bruce Willis & Cybil Shepard in Moonlighting. Ms. Callen draws the reader into James and Isabel's world easily. The sparkling dialogue that was full of double entendre's and all out fun kept me entranced. The journey that James and Isabel take from being physically attracted enemies to deeply in love soul mates is very satisfying and will no doubt be considered a classic! What is most captivating is how Ms. Callen lets the reader truly "get into" her characters' heads. Behind the humorous humiliations, the serious competitions between boy and girl, are real emotions of heartache, failure and inadequacy. Isabel and James' triumph over their very human failings; they come to respect and cherish each other for who they truly are, not who they appear to be. This is a must read for any romance fan, not just medievals. I absolutely recommend it as a top-notch novel!

Book Description

The third of four books featuring Pagan's adventures, PAGAN'S VOWS is a medieval thriller that leads the reader through a web of mystery and intrigue — in the most unlikely of places.

Having renounced the sword, Pagan and Lord Roland arrive at the Abbey of St. Martin to devote their lives to God. But no sooner are they outfitted in their novices' habits than Pagan suspects that something mysterious is going on. While the emotionally wrecked Roland tries to find peace in monastic life, the humility and blind obedience required of all novices do not come easily to the worldly Pagan — especially when he learns that the monastery is riddled with deceit and corruption. Someone is stealing alms, and Pagan is determined to find out who. But the truth may come at a price, one that could force him to reconsider his pious role — and his dedication to Roland.

Customer Reviews:

Fun book.......2005-04-24

The ending took me by surprise; it made me happy, but sad at the same time. Another fun book in the series following Pagan's life.

A gripping novel perfect for readers of historical fiction.......2004-09-18

Pagan cannot believe that he is actually agreeing to devote his life to God, to accept life in a monastery. This is a lifestyle that he despises, possibly fears, and also one that he fled from when he was a boy. Though Pagan is often rude, disrespectful, impatient and irreverent, he is also loyal, and it is this loyalty that has made him decide to follow his master, Lord Roland, into a new life in the Abbey of St. Martin. After his experiences in a monastery school as a child, Pagan never dreamed that he would find himself pursuing the life of a monk, but he cannot bear to be separated from his distraught and emotionally lost master.

Thus it is that Pagan has to subject himself to blind obedience, rules that he thinks are ludicrous, and a life full of discomfort and unpleasantness. Needless to say, Pagan is not a good fit for the monastic life and it is a struggle for him to keep his temper, to stay out of trouble, and to try to adjust. Pagan does try his best, for Roland's sake, but all his efforts seem to be for naught when he starts looking into a little mystery that is floating about the Abbey.

Pagan discovers that beneath the veneer of respectability, piety and humility lies a complex tangle made up of lies, deceit and greed. Pagan may not be the most honest person in the world, but this kind of dirty hypocrisy upsets him enough that he will not stop seeking out the truth even when his very life is threatened. It would seem that someone very high up in the monastic hierarchy guides the conspiracy, and Pagan needs to be wary of what he says and does.

One cannot help but have a strong feeling of pity for Pagan. Here is a young man who could never be a monk, but for the love of a friend, he will put himself through a great ordeal --- accepting punishments, bullying, strenuous work, isolation and much more --- all for the sake of someone else. It is shocking to discover how difficult monastic life could be and how appalling the conditions often were. Certainly Pagan's experience puts a new light on the religious life in the times of the Crusades.

Entertaining, moving, skillfully researched, shocking at times, and very gripping, this third book in the Pagan Chronicles series is sure to delight readers who enjoy historical fiction.

An entertaining, "unputdownable" read.......2003-06-30

(This review is for the paperback version)

"Monks, monk, monks. Monks everywhere, as far as the eye can see. Rows and rows of them, crammed together on their chapter-house seats like bats in a cave. Like crows around a corpse. The rustle of their black woollen sleeves, as they point and nudge and whisper. The coughing and gurgling of old men with clogged lungs."

Lord Roland and his squire Pagan, fresh from battle in the Crusades, have renounced the sword and are seeking to become novice monks at the Abbey of St Martin. Pagan isn't sure he wants to be a monk and soon finds that neither humility nor blind obedience comes easily to him, but he is equally sure he doesn't want to leave his beloved master. He also discovers that even a supposedly holy place can swarm with danger and corruption.

Pagan himself tells the story, writing in the present tense, which usually gives me trouble. I normally find it both stilted an unnatural. However, for this story it feels absolutely right. Although I can imagine that many young readers might take a while to become accustomed to Catherine Jinks's spare, distinctive style, I took to it (and her warm, wry humour) straight away. As can be seen from the above quote (the book's first paragraph) her writing abounds in unfinished sentences, which most writers normally use sparingly. But here the oft-used effect serves to underline Pagan's irreverence, which is my only quibble. While I personally found this trait highly entertaining (indeed, almost endearing) I have difficulty believing that someone raised in a monastery in those days would be quite so irreverent, especially at only 17 years of age. One of his favourite expletives is "Christ in a cream cheese sauce", which would certainly be accounted as blasphemous in those days.

But what does it matter when Jinks provides such an entertaining, "unputdownable" read?

I'm very pleased to learn that the Pagan books are to be republished, though 5 January 2004 (the projected date for the first book, Pagan's Crusade) seems rather a long wait.

1st book in the series.......2002-04-14

This is the first book I've read by Candice Kohl and I found it to be very enjoyable. This is the first of three books about brothers who are all knights medieval England. This is the oldest brother's story. Lucien is a landless knight. His two younger twin brothers have taken the land that the king offered to them as payment for their service, but Lucien only wants Eynsham Keep, their former home. Their father had been killed six years ealier by thier uncle Osric who has taken over the Keep. Lucien and his brother have to flee for their lives. It is Lucien's quest to get the keep and the lands back. At any cost.

While visiting his mother and step-father, Lucien goes to a fair and meets a beautiful girl who he thinks is a peasant. He is drawn to her beauty and when they meet again their passion for each other cannot be stopped. Lucien doesn't know the peasant girl is really Lady Adrienne the adopted granddaughter of his enemy. He thinks of her as just Addy. When he learns the truth he knows that this can help him in his quest. He doesn't plan on falling in love with her though which may throw a wrench into his future plans.

Addy thinks Lucien is a poor peasant and when they make love she doesn't regret it for she knows that she is soon to marry a unknown, unnamed man of her uncles choosing. She wants just one night of love and passion. Later when she finds out Lucien is a knight she dreams of marriage to him. She knows nothing of his quest only of his love.

Together they must fight for their passion and love and not let old wounds and fresh ones tear them apart.
I look forward to reading the stories of the twin brothers and maybe the author will even write about the young half brothers.

A noble lady with loose morals.......2001-07-02

I was disappointed that within the first couple of chapters, the hero and heroine meet once,then on the second meeting they have a romp in the hay and she gives up her virginity without much of a second thought. I just couldn't identify with either of the two characters. My favorite and most liked character was the 'villian.' I didn't even like the hero's brothers much either.
