Hel ne de Laurant has not forgotten how the Earl of Gunthar destroyed her father's castle during Henry II's war with his sons. Apparently neither have her family and friends, for when someone tries to murder Gunthar, every sign points in their direction. Hel ne realizes the only way to prove her loved ones' innocence is by exposing the true assassin. As Hel ne and Gunthar spar over the identity of the traitor, fierce determination gives way to mutual attraction. Hel ne must race against time, and dark secrets of the past, to unmask the would-be killer before the kingdom plunges back into war and takes the life of the man she has unexpectedly learned to love.
I absolutely loved this book. It’s not often that you can find a well-written story that is thoroughly engaging along with clean language and romance. I highly recommend this for teens and adults.
A Must Read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
From the beginning, DiPastena paints a vivid picture of life in medieval times. She quickly draws you into the lives and passions of her characters in a way that leaves you anxious to find out what happens next. Her research is clear, and adds to the authenticity of the story, without ever taking away from the flow of the story itself. (It made me actually want to go and find out more about what really did happen during that time period.) If you have any interest in the time period, or just in a great read, this book will not disappoint you.
Loyalty's web

I very much enjoyed reading Loyalty's Web and recommend it to anyone who is ready for a great adventure. Ms DiPastina masterfully transports her readers into that mystic era of lords and castles, dungeons and knights. This historical fiction weaves its tale amidst the time of King Henry and his dominions in France. It lacks nothing, and is filled with suspense, romance, battles, dreaded arranged marriages, herbal concoctions, murder, and mystery.
You Will Love This One!

You will really enjoy this book. Loyalty's Web kept me up late several nights as these realistic characters marched across the chapters. My husband asked me if I was coming to bed one night at 2:00 a.m. Yikes, I had lost track of the time and needed to get up for work the next day! Her characters are all believable. You are cheering for the heroine as she faces her family and external wrongs. I felt the pain of the hero as he struggled to maintain his duty, honor and his love. This is a real page turner! I recommend this book to you!

Joyce writes with a freshness and authority for a first time writer. I hope this is not her last effort.
