WINNER OF THE RONE AWARD FOR BEST MEDIEVAL ROMANCE!

“A tantalizing and intriguing tale of medieval chivalry, intrigue, passion, duty, honor and romance."
— My Book Addiction and More

HE SEIZED LIFE BY THE THROAT

Dubbed the Black Wolf for his raven hair, his fierceness in battle and his way with women, Sir Alexander of Talisand attacked life as he did the king’s enemies. But acclaim on the battlefield and his lusty escapades did not satisfy. King William Rufus would bind him to Normandy through marriage to one of its noblewomen, but the only woman Alexander wants is a commoner he saved from a terrible fate.

SHE KEPT MEN AT BAY WITH HER BOW

The shame of being the child of a Norman’s rape had dogged Merewyn’s steps from her youth. Determined never to be a victim of a man’s lust like her mother, in Wales she donned the garb of an archer and developed extraordinary skill with a bow. Despite her fair beauty, men now keep their distance. No longer in need of protection from other men, can Merewyn protect herself from Alexander when he holds her heart yet can never be hers?

Praise for the Medieval Warriors series:

“This series captures the medieval era perfectly, creating the true sensation of traveling back in time to experience epic, riveting love stories that ignite the imagination. Beautifully written, perfectly paced and action-packed... What more can you ask?”

5.0 out of 5 stars Heroine who can defend herself
Reviewed in Australia on 15 December 2016
I loved the first book in this series, thought the second one was OK but not interesting enough to make me keep reading the series. 'King's Knight' proved me wrong. Author Regan Walker has delivered a book as good as the first one 'Red Wolf'.

I like heroines who do more with their lives than needlepoint. Merewyn is illegitimate and as a result is seen as easy prey by men. To defend herself she becomes a maestro in archery, leaving her home to train with Welsh archers. So a great heroine if a little bland personality wise.

Alex is the son of the Red Wolf Alex and Merewyn's childhood defender, but he has a reputation for womanising. Despite having feelings for him Merewyn is careful to avoid the heir of Talisand. Of course she is unsuccessful or there would be no story. There is some entertaining stuff going on. A femme fatale from Normandy tries to pry Merewyn and Alex apart. Merewyn visits the court of King William where men wear frocks.

The strength of this author is in great plots rather than character development. 'King's Knight' is not as gobsmackingly fascinating as Kathry Le Veque's medieval romances, but it's a good story and really well told.

5.0 out of 5 stars Medieval Romance at it's very best, simply stunning!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 December 2018

My goodness, me this is good! In fact the word ‘good’ is too mild of a term to describe just how unbelievably great this book is. No wonder that this was the winner of the 2017 RONE award, it is fantastic and exactly how a Medieval Romance should be written! I always know that whenever I pick up a Regan Walker book, I am going to instantly fall in love with it, but there is something rather special about King’s Knight, it is an intriguing, seductive, edge of your seat and exhilarating romance set in a time where chivalry and honour reigned. This is what I love about the medieval era to start with that it was a dark, perilous and dangerous as well as being a time where the world was full of chivalric, loyal, honour bound with absolute love – once found.

This is the last book in the brilliant Medieval Warriors series, and it feels like we have come full circle, the series started with Serena and Raynard; (otherwise known as the Red Wolf) Lord and Lady of Talisand and now we are back where we started but this time with their son; Alexander – who I have to say, I am in absolute love with!

As children Alexander; the little lord-ling of the mighty Red Wolf saves scared, vulnerable illegitimate Merewyn when she was about to be attacked by the boys from the village who just because she is the result of her poor mother being raped, Merewyn is now seen only as a but of a plaything, that is until the devil himself turns up by her side. Merewyn then went on to train as an archer in Wales and Alex went to train to be the Lord, Knight and warrior he was meant to be.

Years later, it is now 1091 and the fearsome Red Wolf’s cub is now a full-grown man, a brilliant Knight in his own regard, he is now back at home after spending years away fighting for King and country and training to be the deadly Knight he is now. He has a sinful reputation as a most sought after lover and ladies man, something which he Alex has thoroughly enjoyed that is until he comes face to face with the one woman who has been in the back of his mind since he rescued her years before. Merewyn is a tantalising, mysterious and utterly breathtaking woman, she is so different to his usual conquests a brilliant archer in her own right and a woman a lot like his own mother who would much rather wear men’s clothes and go out in the hunt then stay at home in pretty gowns sewing. To say Alex is instantly attracted to her is an understatement.

The chemistry sizzles between them, the air practically crackles with pent-up sexual tension and mutual lust, you just know that these two are just meant to be together. They are like two sides of the same coin, both different but together are one. Unfortunately all is not on our love birds side, as Alex is devastated to learn that the King has picked his bride for him, a woman who will bring together the two mighty houses, but this woman has got a deadly reputation not just because she has a habit of ridding herself of unwanted husbands – which did make me think of a black widow spider, but Alex’s intended also sees Merewyn as a threat. Add a war expected at any moment which very would mean Alex’s death, will our destined couple be torn apart in the most cruelest of ways, or will the Black Wolf and the Archer have their happy ever after?

My goodness, if there ever was a moment for a #DoubleSwoon, then now is the time. I didn’t think that my all time favourite Regan Walker character; Jean Donet could be pushed down to number two, but Alexander has done it. He is a passionate, fearsome, intelligent, strong, sexy, loyal and protective man who loves his family above all else. The way he looks up to his might father; Raynard, The Red Wolf is wonderful, to Alex his sire is the one man in the whole world who he admires and aspires to be. I love the scene when Alex and his father have a sword fight in the Talisand games, it’s wonderfully to see the Red Wolf and his ‘cub’ go head on head and how playful Raynard is with Alex, wonderful scene. It is that particular personality trait; the family orientated one that I loved about him. The way he treats his fellow knights no matter what their rank with respect and friendship is another trait that I love about him and the fact that yes he has a reputation for being a ladies man but the moment that he is reunited with beautiful Merewyn, he is a one woman man. She is everything to him, she brings light into his life.

She really is an amazing young lady, after her early ordeal when she was rescued by Alex she swore that no man would ever touch her, she would protect herself. Which is where the always brilliant Serena; lady of Talisand comes in, Serena was and still is the queen of the bow and arrow – I have always loved Serena she is a strong, resilient woman who is so caring and she shares those traits with the younger woman. Merewyn fights for her place and she has worked hard to over come her unfortunate start in life, she is bold, resilient, loyal, brave and deadly as well as being vulnerable, cynical and passionate. When she chooses to give her love and heart to someone they are extremely fortunate. She has always held a light for Alex but being lowly born and illegitimate she knows that the heir of Talisand is too far above her, but that doesn’t stop her heart beating out a rapid beat when ever she sees him. Or when they secretly kiss – oh, my those kisses are incredible; sweet, tender, sexy, passionate, loving.

I love how Ms Walker has answered all the questions that I had throughout this series, such as what would happen with the young orphan Jamie, is my favourite Welsh archer and the other Knights such as Sir Alain happy? All of their stories are revealed and the series – even though it is sad that there will be no more ‘Medieval Warriors’ – has finished in a good place leaving the reader very happy and satisfied.

This is a tantalising, action-packed, atmospheric, engaging, passionate, powerful, compelling – I am running out of complimentary descriptive words – brilliantly written, an emotional page-tuner that I can guarantee will have you hooked from that very first page. The story sweeps the reader along at a marvellous pace, you are taken on an spell-binding journey which is full of thrills, twists and turns and a gorgeous romance all entwined with meticulously researched and rich history. Ms Walker as ever has put her heart and soul and many, many hours of love into this, it’s so rich in detail that it’s as though you have been transported from your armchair to Medieval Yorkshire.

This book is really too good to be true, fantastic characters, mesmerizing plot a superb ending to what is an amazing series.

Simply stunning!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love wants a chivalrous lover . . .
Reviewed in the United States on 29 October 2016

“Love wants a chivalrous lover skilled at arms and generous in serving who speaks well and gives greatly, who knows what he should do and say, in and out of his hall, as befits his power . .” This quote from the 12th Century poem, Be’m plai lo gais temps de pascor, by Bertran de Born introduces such a knight – a King’s Knight, the fourth in a powerful historical love series by Regan Walker.

Set in Talisand, in Northwest England in 1082, Sir Alexander, the son of the Red Wolf and Lady Serena of Talisand, returns home after winning the favor of King William Rufus for his distinguished fighting skills. The young knight, dubbed the Black Wolf, for his long black mane of hair, is still referred to as a ‘cub’ and feels the long shadow of his father’s great legacy. Yet, Sir Alexander has an easy charm with the women and an inheritance of youthful arrogance which leads him to believe he can possibly have any woman he wants.

Merewyn is not a high-born lady. The illegitimate daughter of the ruthless Norman invasion, she knows well that any lingering looks at the heir of Talisand cannot be anything more than wistful glances. Yet, Alexander stepped in and saved her from the humiliation and malicious intents of village boys when she was but an innocent girl. In that moment, he became the hero of her heart. Steeling herself against an unforgiving caste system as she approaches womanhood, she chooses her short bow as her closest companion – to assist in hunting; to prove a woman’s skill; and to protect herself, evermore. She would never be a victim.

When Sir Alexander returns home, his eyes sweep the bailey. After years being fostered in a neighboring estate and several battles, he seeks to inquire about one young woman who seems missing – Merewyn. So, this love story begins. For fans of Regan Walker, this fourth book in the series is filled with the intense history, portends of the future and the familiar characters we love so much, including Sir Renault (the Red Wolf), Lady Talisand, Sir Jamie (no longer a squire, but Captain of the house knights at Talisand), Maggie (the beloved cook who keeps us fed with her warmth as well as exquisite food), Maugris (the wise seer) and Steinar (Lady Serena’s brother and hero of Rebel Warrior). For new readers, step into the pages and fall in love with characters who commit to honor and who learn that love connects us all, no matter what our fates may seem to be
.
Cast against the landscape of medieval Britain, Scotland and Wales, this tale continues a tradition of courage, chivalry, court intrigue, honor and intense passion. For another endearing novel in the Warrior Series, I heartily give King’s Knight a five-star rating. Regan Walker does not disappoint in delivering a well-paced romance that beats the odds of its time.

A young girl with dubious beginnings in need of a hero and a young boy striving to become his own man.
Merewyn can outshoot any of the clan’s archers; something she learned while in her youth as a self-defense against all men, having learned from her mother’s unfortunate past. What Merewyn hasn’t overcome is the stigma of being the product of that past. Returning to Talisand where she hopes to make her home once again Merewyn comes face to face with the boy, now fully grown, she once looked upon as her hero. Spending time with this man is quickly playing havoc with her heart but she knows that she will never be good enough for one of the King’s Knights and the son of the Red Wolf.
Sir Alexander of Talisand has learned his duties well serving the King as one of his knights. Returning to Talisand after a long battle Alexander is brought face to face with a girl from his past. He quickly becomes fascinated by this woman’s demeanor and skill with a bow. A fascination that turns into so much more, her background be damned. Called back into battle Alexander must work to convince the King that someone else can link his kingdom with Normandy lands. That may be easier than convincing his fair maiden that she belongs with him no matter the past.
From the prologue to the end Regan Walker does an outstanding job of drawing me into Alexander and Merewyn’s story. The extensive research Ms. Walker does shows in the detailed descriptions of the time which made me feel if I was there (starting with heart racing in the very beginning).
As the fourth book in her Medieval Warriors series, King’s Knight can be read as a stand-alone. However; take if from this reader book 1 – The Red Wolf’s Prize; book 2 – Rogue Knight; and book 3 - Rebel Warrior are every bit as good and not to be missed.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
