About Love & Honor:

Lady Sabine is harboring a skin blemish, one, that if revealed, could cause her to be branded as a witch, put her life in danger, and damage her chances of making a good marriage. After all, what nobleman would want to marry a woman so flawed?

Sir Bennet is returning home to protect his family from an imminent attack by neighboring lords who seek repayment of debts. Without fortune or means to pay those debts, Sir Bennet realizes his only option is to make a marriage match with a wealthy noblewoman. As a man of honor, he loathes the idea of courting a woman for her money, but with time running out for his family’s safety, what other choice does he have?

As Lady Sabine and Sir Bennet are thrust together under dangerous circumstances, will they both be able to learn to trust each other enough to share their deepest secrets? Or will those secrets ultimately lead to their demise?

My thoughts:
This is the second book I have read by Jody. In the first, "Hearts Made Whole", I learned a bit about lighthouses and Civil War Veteran's. In "For Love & Honor", I gained a deeper understanding about family pride and honor in the medieval era. I found myself annoyed when Bennet's mother fully expected him to come up with the money owed when it was clearly his older brother's responsibility. On the other hand, I could totally understand Sabine's grandmother being deceitful in order to get Sabine to see Bennet for who he was, someone who was a lot like her. Bennet has to win Sabine's hand in order to get her money to keep his families treasures secured. Sabine neglects to tell Bennet about her genetic defect, and Sabine's grandmother hasn't told Sabine the truth about their visit. In the end we learn that truth prevails and
 that a family sticks together no matter what! 

This book is a Fantasy Historical Romance Fiction is appropriate for ages 13+. If I had a teenage daughter I would encourage her to read this book. Even though I am way past my teenage years, even I could see where truth prevails in this story. Purchase a copy on Amazon here.
