Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

Perfect period detail and rapturously romantic from one of the best-known and beloved romantic novelists.

Even as a 14-year-old orphan, Simon Beauvallet knows his own mind. Later, friend and foe alike will know better than to cross the flaxen-haired mountain of a man whose exploits in battle have earned him knighthood, lands and gilded armour.

After Agincourt, he has no equal save the king himself in generalship - until his legendary prowess is baulked by a woman. In Normandy, the icy rage of Simon the Coldheart must melt - or quench Lady Margaret, spitfire of Belremy.

I think I’ve read nearly all of Georgette Heyer’s books, this being one of the few I had missed. I thoroughly enjoyed it & the narrator was excellent.

I have been a Georgette Heyer fan for more than 60 years, Her books are well written, well researched and most important a really good read. I hadn't tried this one, mainly because it is historical and her regency books are more to my taste. I read Beauvallet again recently, I love this book, and Nicholas Beauvallet is a descendant of Simon. I did enjoy Simon very much but just not quite as much as her others, the narration was very good too. The descriptions of the clothes, the various foods and the different locations were missing for me, I understand that these were not relevant at this time. Still a good read though, my comments are purely my taste. Read and enjoy.
