Dark Champion

Dark Champion - Jo Beverley Imogen of Carrisford flees when her house is invaded by a neighbour. She dressed up with a fake pregnant stomach and goes to the one man who might be able to help. Fitzroger of Cleeve, often called the Bastard. A man who is strong and powerful and willing to help. They find themselves attracted to each other but are both quite unwilling to admit to each other how much. It's full of historical detail and the characters are quite good fun, however there are moments where it just read like a record skip, jarring a little. It's interesting and fun though.
