Hi Kim! It's been a while since I've commented but when I saw A Knight Like No Other on your list I couldn't resist! I love that Jocelyn had a sword-wielding heroine to look after the Queen's grand-son! Ironically I had wanted to read it when it was first released and didn't realize it was still available!
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway! Good luck everyone!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing giveaway. There are so many beautiful books on this list. Thank you for all you do for us.
ReplyDeleteI also love history. Thanks to you and these fantastic authors for this awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of books. So sad there are so many battles to remember.
ReplyDeleteNot only is this about history and the military, but it makes me think of our servicemen and veterans.
