The Three Graces

review 1: Cate and Ross are an interesting pair. I enjoyed the book immensely when the two of them were at the same place at the same time. Other portions of the book didn't seem to blend together as well for me when the two weren't together. Cate is the 2nd Grace of Graydon. She spends a night along with Scottsman Ross Dunbar due to her disliking being present during the 'kill' portion of a hunt. She's not aware that someone has set her up to be accosted or worse. Luckily, or unluckily depending on perspective, for her Ross Dunbar lags behind keeping an eye on her. He's intrigued by her beauty. When a wild boar spooks her horse and sends her galloping off to an unstudied trail, she has momentary panic which is immediately followed by dread as tootheless, unclean men approach her wi... moreth lascivious comments and evil intent.Being a fiesty one, she pulls her small knife ready to do battle. In rides Ross and saves the day. As night is about to fall and the weather is turning cold - Ross advises the stay where they are. He builds a fire and make shift shelter. The next morning when help comes looking for them tags begin to wag as an unmarried man and woman spent a night alone, unchaperoned...The remainder of the story is Henry VII forcing the two of them to marry; Ross's father is unhappy he's wed an english woman; Cate's initial displeasure at marrying; threat to the throne; another man trying to entrap Cate and kill Ross - The two of them come out reasonably unscathed. They realize they love one another and at the end of the story Cate is expecting a babe. This was a fairly good story but, I didn't feel the same intensity between Ross and Cate as there was between Braesford/Isabel. Although, the author did well in tying up loose ends while leaving threads unraveled for Lady Margurite's installment to unfold. I'm off to read the 3rd and final installment of the graces of graydon to see where young Margaurite's story leads and what mention there will be of Isabel and Cate. Should prove to be a good read. I love how life at court is so colorfully told.
review 2: I liked this book so much more than By His Majesty's Grace. The story centers on Lady Cate Milton. She's one of the so-called Three Graces, a trio of sisters said to be cursed. Any man who tries to marry one of them for a reason other than love, is destined for death. Cate's older sister, Isabel, has managed a happy marriage, but Cate doesn't believe it's in the cards for her. That doesn't stop her from appreciating an arresting man like Dunbar. The sexy Scotsman saved her from a band of men who would have kidnapped her in the woods. Circumstances forced them to spend the night together, and he was a perfect gentleman. But in the 1400's, appearances meant a lot. And before they knew it, the couple was betrothed at the insistence of the king. Cate goes back and forth with her feelings. She wants Dunbar, but she fears for his life because of the curse. He is just as torn because while he wants nothing more than to bed the lady, he knows that if they wed, his father will disown him. On top of that, he wonders if Cate has anything to do with an attempt on his life. But when push comes to shove, the king gives neither of them much choice in the matter. I enjoyed watching Cate and Dunbar come together. And there was plenty of intrigue going on in the background. It was a little too historically complicated for me at times, but there was enough action and danger to keep me interested. That, and watching the relationship between Cate and Dunbar unfold. (I am such a sucker for a burr and a kilt.) I was also excited to see that David... a favorite of mine from the last book... appears to be the love interest for the last sister and will be featured in the next book. less
