Reviews
The sight of Broc’s face so close to hers took Ariel’s breath away. She had been asleep, but the sensation of someone caressing her cheek brought her instantly to awareness. Even though Ariel knew Broc thought her to be male, she could not bring herself to stop him. It felt too good. It had been so long since he had touched her in this way.
His eyes never left hers as his fingertips softly brushed her cheek once more. Moving lower, he cupped her chin with his hand. With his thumb on her lower lip, he rubbed it slowly back and forth. That was enough to send Ariel bolting upright in her chair.
“Shush. I didn’t mean to upset you.” In one fluid motion, Broc stood. “You were asleep. Maybe you should retire for the night.”
“Aye, I think I will.” Ariel pushed back her chair and stood. All the mead she had drunk during the evening rushed to her head. The room began to spin and her legs gave out. If Broc had not caught her around the waist, she would have fallen to the floor.
Broc pulled her closer to his side and started to walk to the chambers at the back of the hall. “I think you may need some help if you are to make it to your bed.”
Ariel tried to pull out of his grip, but her legs would not function properly. “I’ll manage. Don’t worry about me.”
“Fine, if that is your wish.” Broc released her and Ariel promptly felt herself slip towards the floor once more. A strong arm caught her. “It seems to me that a little help would be in order.”
Ariel didn’t reply. She could do nothing but accept his assistance. As they staggered to her chamber, Ariel noticed Broc was not very steady on his feet either. They somehow managed to get to the chamber door and walk across the room to her bed. Having made it that far, things decidedly went downhill from there.
Broc released her and her legs promptly gave out on her. On the way down, Ariel grabbed his tunic to stop from falling. As she landed on her back on the bed, she threw Broc off balance and he ended up falling on top of her. They both grew still. Ariel felt the hard length of Broc’s body on every inch of her. A small gasp escaped her lips before she could silence it. That little sound was all Broc needed to act.
Broc’s head lowered and his lips claimed her own. Ariel’s body jerked in surprise, but she made no move to stop Broc. Sensing her acceptance, Broc ran his tongue along the seam of her mouth. At his insistence, Ariel let her lips part, giving him the invitation he needed. The feel of Broc’s tongue gently stroking hers, Ariel reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck.
She knew this was bad, very bad. If this went much further there would be no way of hiding what she truly was. But what Broc did to her sent shock waves of desire all through her body. She was not strong enough to stop this. Giving herself up to the sensations that began to pool in the lower half of her body, Ariel groaned.
Broc stiffened and roughly jerked his mouth away from her lips. Ariel watched the passion slowly die in his golden eyes and be replaced with a look of utter disgust. She felt like weeping. He didn’t know it was her, he only saw Wulf. Even after what they had just shared. He seemed sickened by what he had done. Broc wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and quickly jumped off the bed.
Ariel reached out a hand to him, to stop him from leaving. She could not do this to him. It would be a cruelty she did not wish upon him, she had to explain. But Broc just stared at the hand held out to him. With a shake of his head, he rejected it and rushed out of the room.

5 Hearts: Ms. Chenery has written a great story with two lovable characters that at times I would have liked to shake. The trials these two suffer through are at times overwhelming, but they struggled through it all, including war, a disturbed evil man, being sold into slavery, and even being kidnapped. I would recommend this one to anyone looking for an excellent historical that will keep them on the edge of their seats, biting their nails or even itching to shake someone. I loved it.--Sandra, The Romance Studio
5 Stars: I savored every word of Lady Knight. Ariel is a strong character. She not only fought beside seasoned warriors, she led them. She achieved the status of Knighthood, and yet was feminine enough to capture the heart of a Knight. Beautifully written, sensual, heartwarming, Lady Knight is sure to please fans of medieval romance.--Debra Gaynor, Review Your Book
Lady Knight was an intriguing and fast paced story. I was surprised how much Ms. Chenery put into one small tale. Lady Knight is the definite star-crossed lovers’ story with the twist of a woman in a male role at the turn of the first century. I thoroughly enjoyed lady knight and was pulled into the story from the beginning. If you are a fan of medieval romances then you will thoroughly enjoy Lady Knight.--Tanya, Joyfully Reviewed
4.5 Cherries: Lady Knight is packed with action, history, and tension of the most delicious kind. Sparks fly every moment Broc and Ariel are within shouting distance of one another. A very fun and enjoyable story interlaced with hot and steamy love scenes, it’s a sure pleaser for the historical lover.--Cholla, Whipped Cream
3.5 Lips: Marisa Chenery keeps you riveted to this story. You find yourself wondering how much a couple can take. There were some very emotional moments in Lady Knight, and I found myself up all night trying to finish it, just hoping that Broc and Ariel’s happily ever after would come. This is a good read and I found it kept me fascinated as to what the two lovers would have to overcome next.--Lila, Two Lips Reviews
4 Angels: I have never before had the pleasure of reading Ms. Chenery's writing, but I must say that she is extremely talented. Lady Knight is one of the best historical romance novels I have read this year. Lady Knight is a very action-packed, captivating read. I hope to see more novels as good as Lady Knight from Ms. Chenery, and I am already on the lookout for her past novels.--Pamela, Fallen Angel Reviews
