The Hunter and the Heiress: A Medieval Romance (Blood Brothers Book 2)

As usual a well written story and a must read. She’s only wanted for home and land. He will protect her with all the honor of his knighthood his life and wants nothing in return. As in life nothing is planned.

Continuing the development of the characters from the first book is always enjoyable, especially when done so well. Looking forward to #3 with great anticipation.

I think this is my favorite Delacroix book! Full of humor, passion, romance and history. Enticing characters. Even the villains are of the worst sort.

Everything you could want in a medieval romance, from one of my favorite authors. Delicious. Waiting for the next. Never disappointed.

This story was very difficult to put down. I enjoyed the entire story, so many twists and turns. Loved it

This book was well written and didn’t disappoint! The story kept me interested and I couldn’t wait to turn the page

Amaury de Vries is a most noble and duty driven knight, but when his fortunes change for the worse as his true parentage is revealed and he is left with nothing but his armor and his destrier, he accompanies his half brother to a ruined holding in the Scottish highlands. There he meets the ravishingly beautiful but troubled Elizabeth d’Acron, a woman who fled from an arranged marriage and chose to live in the forest with three other displaced women rather than return to her uncle’s home where she is promised to the highest bidder. When Elizabeth disappears, Amaury follows her, willing to stop at nothing to protect the woman he has come to love. Without a holding or any means of support, he realizes they have no future but his honor won’t allow him to abandon this damsel in distress. Elizabeth, who has been treated horribly by men, overcomes her fears and falls in love with Amaury, but is thwarted at every turn by his devotion to duty and honor. The unexpected twists and turns in this story lead the reader on a merry chase, but ultimately, and satisfyingly, result in a beautiful HEA. Ms. Delacroix weaves a heartwarming, slow building narrative, complete with period appropriate morals, values and dialogue delivered in beautiful, descriptive prose that is truly delightful to read. A copy of this book was provided to me with no requirements for a review. I voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my honest opinion.

Blood Brothers is simply one of the best series by Claire Delacroix. Book two, The Hunter & the Heiress adds to make that even more so. Each of these brothers has been betrayed by their heritage or what they thought was their heritage. None more so than Amaury de Vries but then Elizabeth d’Acron heritage has not been a help many times either.This is a story of class differences but doesn’t the heart know best. At least it does when Elizabeth’s life is in danger. Amaury’s sense of duty and responsibility is admirable if frustrating at times. Elizabeth’s spunk and determination is commendable but she has a naive spirit too. A wonderful story that I found a pleasure to read.Even though it is clear from the teaser at the end who are the main characters in the next book, I can’t but hope that a second generation with stories to be told will come along. I must admit that Oliver the squire was a favorite character of mine so I would truly love to see him again all grown up finding his own story.The publisher/author gave me a complimentary ARC of the book which I voluntarily chose to read and reviewed. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

The Hunter and the Heiress is the second book in the Blood Brothers series by Claire Delacroix. It is the story of Amaury DeVries, a knight who lives by honour…..And Elizabeth……I should have known better than to start this book at bedtime, because once begun, I could not put it down, as a result I almost saw the sunrise! This book was filled with action, chivalry, betrayal, you name it! There were points in the story when I wondered how in the world the author was going to get the characters out of their predicaments, but I should have had faith. This was a spectacular story and I recommend it highly, if you love medieval romance.
