KINGDOM OF LOVE by TRACIE PETERSON is a collection of three medieval romances with interesting characters and a real feel for what life was like in the fourteenth century, with the dogmatism of the church and the superstition of the people, as opposed to the true message of Christianity which comes out so beautifully in each of the heroes’ lives. The author has obviously done a great deal of research into life at the time which I found really fascinating.
The first two books run into one another as we meet the first two courageous women, Arianne and then Helena who each end up at Gavenshire Castle after escaping abuse at the hands of family members. The third courageous woman is Mary Beckett, the daughter of physician Guy Beckett, who was murdered for his desire to find out more about the human body, in order to be able to heal those who were dying of the plague. …….
The stories are exciting and well told with the Christian message of salvation, redemption and Christ’s love and forgiveness shining brightly against the backdrop of such a dark period of history. I love the three romances and the theme of sacrificial love flowing through the book.
I found the book most enjoyable and inspirational and cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone who enjoys this genre.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Barbour Publishing. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
