Edmund puts his family and position before love, but Joan takes him anyway. Edmund is the head of said family- and also the one who kidnapped her because he thought she was Nicolette, his younger brother's pregnant lover. Joan is kidnapped by mistake by a feuding family. This is a medieval romance and they are talking as if they were living in present day. I don’t think her writing style is to my taste. The Wise Virgin by Jo Beverley- 2 ½ stars. However, the story by Deborah Simmons is amazing, and worth picking up this book JUST for her story! Her story is already one of my all-time favorites!
