Welcome to Litsy!

A short and sweet #romantsy set in Tudor England with a black heroine & a Scottish hero.

I wish this was a longer book because I loved the characters and setting described by Cole. And it‘s based on a jousting tournament of similar name from 1507-1508. I‘m all about an interracial highland romance.

Agnes is the prize (a kiss) for the winner of the jousting tournament and one knight is determined to win. Gareth met Agnes months ago and wanted her for his wife, but he has some changes to make and a woman to convince.

Angsty and steamy and sweet and short- this hit the spot.

The cover is surprisingly demur, but the book is not.

Very enjoyable short story. I wish it was longer.

I'm a sucker for historical romances. I don't know why but they are totally my kryptonite in the romance genre and I can't get enough of them. I really liked this novella & it's my first introduction to Alyssa Cole's work. I loved the heroine, the setting & historical context of the story. Definitely recommend this book. Adding Alyssa's backlist to my TBR too.

This was part of today's #bookmail and I couldn't resist this little novella. I met the author a couple months ago, and I've since been devouring all of her work 🤓 This one was sweet and hot at the same time, and the author's talent for telling a complete story in 50 pages is just amazing. Loved it!! ❤️
