This was kindly sent my way from the publishers via Netgalley for an honest review.
This is your typical find your true love before this date at midnight or be forever alone. Rosemary was promised as a baby to convent on her 18th birthday. Her godfather finds a loophole in the arrangement, if Rosemary can find her one true love before midnight of her 18th birthday then she doesn't have to live her life as a nun.
Although I knew who was going to be her pick right off the bat, it was a very enjoyable book. It was a quick read, beautifully written, and just all around a solid book. There is action, mystery, twists and turns, but comes together in a very beautiful ending. I picked this book out because of the cover, I love this time era - of kinds and queens, courts and castles. I can't get enough of it. I loved the flirting and the courting in this book between Rosemary and the three men. It was fun to go through her journey of falling in love with one of the knights.
Don't think this is just a sappy romance novel though, there is death, there is mystery, and most of what always happens in court - backstabbing. I enjoyed this book very much.
4 out of 5 stars!!
