I really enjoyed this book. I picked up the box set with "Of Noble Birth" and "Honor Bound". "Honor Bound" was excellent as well but I liked "Of Noble Birth" better.The characters are so well developed. Brenda Novak also keeps the story moving. I don't think this book stagnated any where. I picked it up and couldn't put it down.I'm really excited to see more historical fiction romance from Brenda Novak.
