Captured by Her Enemy Knight

Captured by her Enemy Knight is the ninth book in author Nicole Locke’s “Lovers and Legends” series. Each book in this fabulous series easily stands alone, but to truly appreciate and enjoy the storyline, I highly recommend reading this series from beginning to end! We first met our hero Eldric of Hawskmoor in “Her Christmas Knight” book six of this series. Eldric intrigued me in that previous book, and I was looking forward to getting to know him and find out why there was an archer that seemed to be targeting him... Cressida Howe is the Archer. She’s the daughter of a mercenary who has been trained since birth to kill when ordered, no questions asked. Until one day, she didn’t… I have been following this series from the beginning and I really must say this series continues to get better and better! Eldric wants vengeance against the mysterious Archer, the person who killed his friends. When a stroke of luck lands the Archer in his grip, he’s quite shocked that in fact the Archer is a woman, and oh what a woman she is! Cressida is a very unique and unlikely heroine at first glance. I’ll admit I was quite surprised and actually liked her from the beginning. As her story unfolds and we get to know her and her past, I found myself rooting for her and hoping that somehow she could escape the only life she’s known and find true happiness. As for Eldric, everything he’s always believed about the mysterious Archer is questioned once he gets to know Cressida. He struggles with his desire for her and his promise to the King. He was a fabulous hero, strong, brave, and I felt they were a perfect match as a couple. This was a fabulous story showing that things aren’t always as you might seem. The storyline was fascinating and well-paced with wonderful characters, action, suspense, and an unlikely couple who had to overcome a lot to find their happiness. An absolutely perfect story to add to this wonderful series!
