To Win a Lady's Heart by Sian Ann Bessey, Book Review

Book Summary:

For eighteen years, Lord Gilbert has been tortured over a grievous lapse in judgment. 

Bitterness has tainted his interactions with the people of Moreland and his 

relationship with his only daughter, Lady Joanna. With a wolfhound guarding her 

around the clock and no freedom to leave the castle grounds unattended, the only time 

Lady Joanna can be alone is when she sneaks out through an old castle tunnel to visit the 

healer Agnes in her cottage by the sea. One morning as Lady Joanna approaches the cliffs, 

she discovers an injured man. She immediately goes to Agnes for help. The wounded

 stranger is Sir Lukas, and while he recovers, he makes plans to identify his attackers and 

their motive. Upon learning that Moreland’s wool has been stolen, Sir Lukas comes to 

believe that the crimes are related and point to a much more sinister plot. When Lord 

Gilbert announces an archery tournament, the prize being Lady Joanna’s hand in 

marriage, it attracts noblemen from across the land, and suddenly Sir Lukas’s pursuit of 

the villains takes a different turn. As Lady Joanna’s and Sir Lukas’s feelings for each other 

grow, the stakes soar, and only Sir Lukas’s skill with a longbow can save them.

My Review:

To Win A Lady's Heart by Sian Ann Bessey

I quickly fell into Lady Joanna's world and became so wrapped up in her life. I could 

see the  castle, the ocean, Agnes's cottage and even Joanna's wolfhound Cona. My heart broke 

that her father was so cold and distant from her and chose to keep her at an arm's 

length. Then Lukas showed up and the story took an unexpected turn full of mystery and 

double crossing. The archery tournament was a perfect stage for any true fan of the medieval 

times. I just really loved this book, it kept me up reading because I had to know how it would

end! The setting, the huge wolfhound Cona, Joanna's kind and pure heart, Lukas' true 

knightly traits and a nefarious scheme that the heroes needed to uncover...this book has it all! 

Happy Reading!!!
