Sabine's insecurity over her blemish and her love of reading make her an endearing character for this reader. Yes, there are some sweet, swoon-worthy moments, but Hedlund strikes a nice balance here between action and romance. It was refreshing that they were attracted to each other's mind first, and their connection was not based on their physical appearance. Drawn to Sir Bennet's home by the promise of viewing and perhaps buying some of his collection, Lady Sabine has no idea that her protective grandmother has plans for Sabine and Bennet that goes well beyond priceless relics.ĭespite their rocky start over the confusion of the true purpose of Lady Sabine's visit, Bennet and Sabine connect over their shared passion of beautiful art, books and priceless collectibles. Sir Bennet has returned to his family home in order to pay the debt accrued by his older brother in order to do so, he knows he must marry a wealthy lady, when he desires to only marry for love. Lady Sabine is a collector as well as practical in nature, in the habit of keeping to herself because of a birthmark found on her arm. Sir Bennet is an excellent knight, but he also has an appreciation for beautiful, sacred relics and works of art.

For Love and Honor is a fun, quick read that is a lovely way to while away a few hours in a world of knight, ladies, chivalry and danger.
