Shadows and Lace: Teresa Medeiros

“With one roll of the dice, the shameful deed was done. Baron Lindsey Fordyce had gambled and lost, and now his beautiful daughter, Rowena, was about to pay the price. Spirited away to an imposing castle, the fiery innocent found herself pressed into the service of a dark and forbidding knight accused of murder…and much more. Handsome, brooding Sir Gareth of Caerleon had spent years waiting for the chance for revenge. But when he sought to use the fair Rowena to slay the ghosts of his tortured past, he never imagined he’d be ensnared in a silken trap of his own making—slave to a desire he could never hope to quench….”

This book was a very pleasant read! Many of you know that I love Teresa Medeiros almost as much as I love Celeste Bradley and—though this is still one of her earlier works—I was very impressed. The characters were very well-rounded and captivated me from start to finish. They were multifaceted and it made for an excellent story with MANY twists and turns that I had NO idea were coming. I cannot wait to pick up another of her books!
