“Following a heated disagreement with her father whereby the spirited and intelligent Lady Allis refuses to marry a man she does not love, she steals away in the middle of the night with the help of a household knight and her handmaid sworn to secrecy. Weeks pass until her location is found out, and enlisted to retrieve her and bring her home is mercenary-knight Sir Leonidas of Tarascon, a man as cunning and clever as he is guarded to Lady Allis' charms. Yet, upon their return to her home, all between them becomes more and more difficult to navigate when her father continues to demand she marry a nobleman she does not love, or one she cannot stand, and Sir Leon finds he must face his past in order to secure a seemingly out-of-reach future.
I think I enjoyed the premise of this a lot more than I did the overall execution, because I couldn't help but feel that there was something missing in and amongst the characters. I may need time to let this one sink in because I can't quite put my finger on what it was, but there was something that just didn't quite hit right. There were moments when I felt things were going a bit too fast, moments where they went a bit too slowly, and a few tension build ups that ultimately didn't go as far as I think they should have.
Overall though I did like this, Townend is a new author to me, and I can see myself picking up more of her work in the future. Despite being a fairly cut-and-paste plot, A Knight for the Defiant Lady is well written and doesn't try to be more than it is, instead makes good use of the tropes that it employs to deliver a satisfying book.”
