Editorial Review: Product Description: Fantasies are made of knights in shining armor-and now they can be found in four breathtaking medieval tales by today's most acclaimed writers of historical romances... Featuring: "The Traveller" by Lynn Kurland "The Minstrel" by Patricial Potter "The Bachelor Knight" by Deborah Simmons "The Siege" by Glynnis Campbell Average Rating:
 Rating:  - One was better than the othersI originally bought this book because Deborah Simmons wrote one of the stories (The Bachelor Knight) but I found, much to my delight that I really liked a couple of the other stores MORE than I did hers. Not that it was a bad story, it was quite good actually, but my favorite of all of them was The Seige, by Glynnis Campbell. I enjoyed it so much that I MUST obtain her other books...My Champion, My Hero and My Warrior. I also liked the Minstrel and The Traveller. Neither were bad stories. ... Read More Rating: - Well Worth it for One Story in ParticularA Knight's Vow is a collection of four romantic stories, all based on the title's theme. Four authors - Lynn Kurland, Patricia Potter, Deborah Simmons and Glynnis Campbell - each weave a tale of love and excitement. I own many short story collections - some classic, some sci-fi, some fantasy. In each case, there are stories I love and stories I'm less fond of in the collection, but the book is well worth owning because of the superb ones. The same is true here. I want to say first that you ... Read More Rating:  - 4 Different Stories from 4 Different AuthorsI find it hard to rate books like these because you have to give an overall rating for four different stories. One of these stories was really quite good while the others were just okay. 1st Lynn Kurland's The Traveller-Julianna is a modern day unemployed woman with multiple degrees in ancient languages. She is sitting on a park bench reading a letter from her friend who lives in Scotland and believes in time travel when she herself is transported to a castle under siege in 1299. She is ...

William of Artane was a pretty good hero and could have shined in a full length story. Julianna Nelson was adorable. 2. Patricia Potter- * * * * * This was a very charming, subtle story with great sentimental characters. Duncan, so handsome, and Lynet, a lovely and loyal person, were sweet together. It was a joy reading this one! 3. Deborah Simmons ... Read More Rating: - So-SoThis collection is worth reading solely for Lynn Kurland's story and it isn't one of her best. However, it could have been if they had been smart enough to have her write it as a full length novel. The other stories were boring as hell. I do not understand why the publisher persists in having Lynn write short stories. They are NOT her forte. She is too good an author to waste like that.
