A review by sherrecepq
Rogue Knight by Pamela O'Rourke

5.0

Ford is EVERYTHING, and him with Emerson (Emmy or Tink) is just.....this book literally had me riding a huge rollercoaster of emotions with twists, heart in my throat, wiping away tears, and now has me singing or humming "Iris" ALL THE TIME. I already loved the song, but it will forever be their's.

Ford (Cowboy) has been with 'his Tink', even when she didn't know. As she soared the heights of her film career, seemingly living her best life shrouded with a veiled mask, her Cowboy was there, making sure she was safe. Ford had been Emmy's first, their relationship was everything, but the failings of a father saw Ford leave, never to return. Ford carried the wrongdoing's of his father with him, and lived inside his own hell, filled with blame and recrimination, all to keep his Tink safe. Tink has the biggest heart, and her support is a true character strength that all of us would want from a partner. Her capacity to love has no bounds, and this is seen more than a handful of times throughout this.

As with all Pamela's books, the side characters in her books are key to an amazing story, and Ford's close friends, especially Vaughan, has some key moments (tissues everyone, keep that box close) and I am sad this book has been read, but I know we will see Tink and her Cowboy again in Pamela's next book. It will be hard to leave these two behind, and every time I hear Iris (and I may or may not have downloaded Pamela's Playlist for this book from Spotify already), I will think of these two amongst the wildflowers/fairylights, with bunches of coral peonies on the table, wrapped in their love.
