“THE BLACKSMITH was just a fun book from beginning to end…”
~ Under the Covers
Our hero, Lance, and his 3 friends have formed the Order of the Broken Blade with the purpose of overthrowing the tyrant King John. In order to achieve their goal they will need support from others and one of those key supporters has to be the Earl of Stanton. If only they can get close to him to try and convince him to give men and money to their cause. So when a position at his castle opens up for a new master smith, Lance decides to use his skills and sets out to get his alliance. What wasn’t in his plans was the Earl’s daughter, Idalia.
I’m happy to be back reading a Cecelia Mecca historical romance. I think she excels at writing this genre! In particular I’m really enjoying the touch of political intrigue that this series offers. I couldn’t help but be swept off with the chemistry between Idalia and Lance. And I’m also extremely happy that things that could’ve been easily used to cause drama and miscommunication weren’t used that way.
THE BLACKSMITH was just a fun book from beginning to end and I can’t wait for the next one.

I get easily distracted by pictures of sexy guys and have tons of book boyfriends.I keep all my alpha males chained to my basement and guard them fiercely.*Back off bitches*I like to see Jason Momoa as a lot of those boyfriends, because ….. mmmmmmm JASON.MOMOA!
I’m a part time graphic designer (yes, everything you see on UTC has been done by me), run my husband's business from home and on a good day I’m a self appointed superwoman (she who can do it all).I love blogging with my girls and I couldn’t do it any other way!My first love is everything paranormal, but in the past few years I’ve re-learned to love contemporary romance.Every once in a while I like to mix things up with a historical romance, a steampunk or an LGBT book.Because I need variety to avoid book slumps.I don’t always need an HEA although I prefer one, and I love authors that can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.
