review 1: I had to read the book because it is a continuation of The Templest by Charlotte Hawkins and I loved that book. In My Lady Gisborne, I loved Guy and Cassia even more and the closeness of their family is very endearing. In this book several years have passed and the Gisborne children are older. The book focuses around Evelyn Gisborne. Two men are in love with her. One she was betrothed to years ago and never even met him. The other is a nobleman turned rogue that she meets while he is on the run from the law. Which one will Evelyn choose. I knew which one I wanted Evelyn to choose and I was a little afraid she would choose the other. I was so glad that she choose the man I liked more. It was lovely watching Simon 's transformation from a man who did not take love ... moreseriously and gave his first allegiance to the Crown. Being under the same roof with the Gisborne's though would transform anyone. They are such a loving close knit family. Guy and cassia still love each other deeply after so many years together and their love extends to their children. The Rene' character irritated me right from the start. I just could not like him but his character did make the storyline more interesting. If it was not for Rene' I don't know if Simon would have come to realize the depth of his love for Evelyn. Rene' forced Simon to be raw with his love and devotion to Evelyn Gisborne. Guy of Gisborne touched my heart on the day that he had to give Evelyn's hand away in marriage. It was a very emotional day for him and it took it hard.
review 2: I received this book through GoodRead First Reads Giveaway. It is a very sweet romantic read. The first chapter did a wonderful job of setting up the relationships within the Gisborne family. The love story of Simon and Evelyn started a little slowly at first, but soon picked up speed. Even though the character of Evelyn was a little too perfect. The flawed character of Rene was very interesting, much more so than the hero Simon. I was also impressed that the setting for this novel was medieval France rather than medieval England. I will be reading "The Tempest" to find out the first part of the love story of Evelyn's parents Guy and Cassia. And I hope that in the future we will get to read the story of Owen and Isabella. All in all a wonderful, romantic read. I'll be recommending this book to my friends. less
