Book Synopsis:
Sir Balduin de Soler gave up long ago on love. He never had the means to support a wife until an unexpected advancement in his fifties allows him to reassess his future just as the lovely Lucianna enters his life.
Lucianna Fabio harbors a secret, painful memory from her past that has kept her unwed, as well. Now in her forties, she thought herself too old to marry until she meets Sir Balduin. Now suddenly their lonely autumn lives feel very much like spring again . . . until Lucianna’s brother appears without warning and threatens to revive the secret that will destroy Lucianna’s second chance at love.
Author's Bio:
Joyce
DiPastena dreamed of green medieval forests while growing up in the
dusty copper mining town of Kearny, Arizona. She filled her medieval
hunger by reading the books of Thomas B. Costain (where she fell in love
with King Henry II of England), and later by attending the University
of Arizona where she graduated with a degree in history, specializing in
the Middle Ages. The university was also where she completed her first
full-length novel…set, of course, in medieval England. Later, her
fascination with Henry II led her to expand her research horizons to the
far reaches of his “Angevin Empire” in France, which became the setting
of her first published novel, Loyalty’s Web (a 2007 Whitney Award
Finalist).
Joyce is a multi-published, multi-award winning author who specializes in sweet medieval romances heavily spiced with mystery and adventure. She lives with her two cats, Clio and Glinka Rimsky-Korsokov, in Mesa, Arizona.

My review;
I just finished reading Loving Lucianna and I really liked it. The storyline was great and I liked the characters. Lucianna and Sir Balduin de Soler are 2 people who believe that they are too old to find love. When they meet they find themselves with feelings that they thought they never would. It seems as if just when their dreams could come true a family member shows up and tries to stop their one chance to find the future that they both want. I give this book a 4/5. I was given this book for the purpose of a review and all opinions are my own.
