Review
Patricia Ryan is back with another dazzling medieval romance! Graeham Fox has been sent to London by his overlord Baron Gui de Beauvais to rescue Lord Gui's daughter from the hands of her abusive husband. In exchange, Graeham has been promised the hand of Gui's other daughter- along with the holdings associated with such a marriage. But before Graeham can spirit the young woman away, he is attacked. In a medieval take of the classic Hitchcock tale Rear Window, Graeham concocts a plot to rescue Lord Gui's daughter and complete his mission. When her brother brings Graeham to her home, Joanna Chapman's first reaction is to throw him out. Joanna has no intentions of being used by another man the way she was used by her husband. But Graeham's injuries convince her he is harmless and his offer to rent her storeroom is appealing. As long as he thinks she is a widow, Joanna will be safe from the charms of Graeham Fox. What she doesn't know is that he harbors secrets of his own. Proving herself to be a remarkable storyteller, Patricia Ryan spins a tale of romance and mystery that will thrill readers. With a host of wonderful secondary characters to round out the complex plot, Ms. Ryan keeps readers guessing- and turning pages- right up till the end! With a richly detailed historical setting, Silken Threads stands out in the genre. This is a very special and original novel from one of romance's finest authors. Don't miss it. Patricia Ryan always delivers a delightful read! Historical romance at it's very finest! Ms. Ryan writes some of the best books in romance fiction today! Simply charming! Silken Threads will captivate you! Kristina Wright -- Copyright © 1999 Literary Times, Inc. All rights reserved -- From Literary Times
