There has
yet to be a book from the pen of Colleen Gleason that I haven’t enjoyed and
Lily on the Heath did not disappoint. What a delightful romance this book is!
Colleen Gleason has a knack for combining all of the right mixes of mystery,
comedy and historical romance all into one. Lily on the Heath is a medieval romantic
tale of Judith of Kentworth and Malcolm de Monde. Judith is a Falconer and a good friend to
Eleanor of Aquitaine, Malcolm is the Lord of Warwick. Malcolm has watched
Judith from afar since they were young. They meet again when Malcolm comes to
King Henry II’s court to petition for a wife. Gleason includes some well
researched information on the Falconers and the royal court of Henry II. With a
side romance that includes secondary characters Judith’s maid and Malcolm’s
Master at Arms this book is as charming as all of Gleason’s previous novels. In her true writing style Ms. Gleason’s
characters each have strong personalities that make this book shine. This is
the perfect novel for both romance readers and history buffs alike.
