Summary: a good book but not as good as the first in the series
Comment: This is the second book in the series. The 1st book"The Darkest Knight" was much more tender and loving. I enjoyed the fact that in this book the bad brother from the first book has a chance to become the hero and mends the rift in his family. This is James's story. We first meet him as he is being attacted by the heroine in the story, Isabel, or Angel as he calls her. She is trying to finish the revenge her family has started against his family. She steals from him and leaves him bloody and bested by a woman only to show up again at his castle in his bedroom. She flees after a struggle with a very naked James. She is soon caught though and he has her thrown in his dungeon. He soon finds himself commanded by his King to marry her. He is stunned but more so she. She dresses like a man, has no idea how to act like a lady or even a civilized human being. He tries to get her to change but she is as stubborn as he. They fight the attraction they have for each other and only after a long struggle do they finally admit they care for one another. I will enjoy reading a book about James's sister hopefully in the near future.

Summary: What Vow?
Comment: Author Gayle Callen, who writes with enthusiasm, did not shrink from her depiction of Isabel "Black Angel" Atherstone. James Markham was also easy to visualize. Unfortunately, only Isabel had ambition in the one-note plot of A KNIGHT'S VOW. The Black Angel's attempts to achieve her goal of revenge though, were enacted through a series of scenes that led nowhere and became repetitious. Poor Isabel's low self-esteem made her a pitiable rather than a sympathetic character.
Neither hero nor heroine fulfilled any need in the other, evolved, or worked together toward a common purpose. They did make numerous attempts to have sex, but were always interrupted. This tiresome devise of many romance novels rarely builds tension (let them DO IT already) so when a couple finally comes together it had better be good. Sorry to disappoint, but this consummation was not climactic. In fact, the story, itself, had no climax.
Use your apparent talent, Ms. Callen. Give your characters something to do and a story to do it in.

Summary: A Knight's Vow was a pleasure!
Comment: She was the Black Angel, a woman who sought revenge against James Markaha, Earl of Bolton. But soon Lady Isabel, aka The Black Angel, finds herself married to the man she hates. Is their married life to be reduced to the endless pursuit of revenge, or could there be something more to it . . . could it be love? 1486, a time of knights, a ladies . . . and love. Gayle Callen wove a beautiful tapestry of all three.
