The Knight's Maiden In Disguise by Ella Matthews

4.0

Ella Matthews's books have slowly become some of my favorites in the genre. Medieval romance isn't a subgenre I was very familiar with and by following Ella Matthew's novels, I found out I quite like them.

In this novel we start a new series, the King's Knights series, and we follow Avva Carpenter and Sir William Devereux in this romance that has love, family, disguises, danger and trust. I loved Avva's determination, and I love William's honesty and kindness. I also love how they interacted, and how their relationship grow.

I love historicals, not just for the way they transport us back to a time and place we can never truly visit, each via fiction, but also for the way it makes me connect with the characters. I could understand Avva's motives and I think I would do the same things she did. And I could also fall in love with William if he was real and appeared in my life. Plus, who doesn't love the drama, the romance and the escapism this kind of book give us?

Overall, I don't want to spoil anything, but I loved it. It was just what I needed. I always need these kinds of stories. And Ella Matthews gives the reader a good start to a series, and I can't wait to see how she's going to take the series to the next book.
