The Three Graces

review 1: Worthy Medieval ReadSet in 1486 when Henry Tudor was king of England, Lady Isabel Milton is commanded to wed Sir Randall of Braesford, as reward for his loyalty to his king. Isabel would be wed by now but it seems all the suitors for her and her two sisters have been dying off. Isabel, wanting to allow them to stay single, perpetuates the myth of the Graydon curse, that only a man who loves them can claim them without mishap. All potential suitors are put off and the girls stay free until Sir Randall who doesn’t believe in the curse.Rand is under a shadow, accused of murdering the child of the king’s French mistress. There is much court intrigue and politics and various agendas working as Isabel helps to sort out the real facts while Rand is held under house arrest (in... more the Tower of London). Blake is a pro and none of her stories lack a good plot or historical detail. And this one has all of it, clever twists, a rich medieval feel and enough history to make you feel like you were there (and don’t forget to read her Author’s Note). King Henry is a character, as is his wife, Elizabeth of York, and there are interesting tidbits about each. I have my favorites of Blake’s work, of course, and while it may not be one of them, it is a very worthy medieval that will satisfy the historical romance lover’s craving for a virile, strong hero, a clever heroine and a tapestry of fast moving events. I recommend it.This is book 1 of the Three Graces of Graydon trilogy. BY GRACE POSSESSED and SEDUCED BY GRACE follow.
review 2: I downloaded this title from Overdrive randomly to show a customer how to download a book. It is set just after the War of the Roses. Author did research the time period. The format and the level of descriptions on the sex scenes meant that I skimmed a lot. I did like it enough to go ahead and read the second in the series to see who the second sister married. The series plotlines are too similar for me to probably read the third. The sex scenes had some variation. less
