For Castle and Crown is a great story of knights battling, life in a castle, and of course sweet romance in the air. The two main characters Edmund and Pippa were both very strong and believable. You learn to care for them immediately as you learn of their past struggles and their present concerns. They have been through so much and both have confronted their trials in life so bravely. I loved how they grew up as the best of friends and now years later that friendship grew into love.

There is plenty of action and intrigue in this novel which moves the plot forward at a quick pace. I felt like I couldn't read fast enough as the suspense kept creeping higher and higher. The villain is known right away and he lives up to his title. He commits so many heinous acts.

The excitement in the novel lasts until the end. I truly loved the happy way this books ends. If you like stories from the Medieval period, lots of action, romance and beautiful descriptive writing, For Castle and Crown is a book for you.
