Betrothed as a child, Giselle's life is never really her own until she leaves her father's house and ventures into a strange new world where she'll meet her husband and one true love. Giselle is what I expected her to be, unsure of herself, shy, and overwhelmed by her husband's unusual family. Giselle starts out a weaker vessel--why shouldn't she? She's been dominated and imprisoned by her father. Once she finds her voice, Jackie Ivie's talent for story weaving takes over.
We catch glimpses of Gi Betrothed as a child, Giselle's life is never really her own until she leaves her father's house and ventures into a strange new world where she'll meet her husband and one true love.
The 12 Days of LT scavenger hunt is going on. Refresh and try again. And yet, she has nothing. No trivia or quizzes yet. Not Enabled Word Wise: Lady of the Knight is her first published work.
We catch glimpses of Giselle maturing and taking control of her life over time. Attached to a man who can't love anyone because he suffered a serious injury that left him paralyzed, Giselle is forced to live a sort of lie.
In public, she and her husband are seemingly happy. But behind closed doors, her husband is a complete brute and drunk. The only happiness Giselle has is the companionship and love she finds with her brother-in-law, Navarre. Navarre and Giselle are both inexperienced in the ways of love. That doesn't keep human nature from taking over Navarre tries to maintain some kind of decorum, but the tiny Giselle drives him crazy. Surrounded by vibrant secondary characters, both good and evil, Giselle and Navarre struggle with everyday life.
Will they ever be able to live as husband and wife? Ivie captures the time period and lifestyle of the French aristocrats so well.

Works can belong to more than one series. In some cases, as with Chronicles of Narnia , disagreements about order necessitate the creation of more than one series.
If the series has an order, add a number or other descriptor in parenthesis after the series title eg. By default, it sorts by the number, or alphabetically if there is no number. If you want to force a particular order, use the character to divide the number and the descriptor. So, " 0 prequel " sorts by 0 under the label "prequel.
Series was designed to cover groups of books generally understood as such see Wikipedia: Like many concepts in the book world, "series" is a somewhat fluid and contested notion. A good rule of thumb is that series have a conventional name and are intentional creations , on the part of the author or publisher.

For now, avoid forcing the issue with mere "lists" of works possessing an arbitrary shared characteristic, such as relating to a particular place. Avoid series that cross authors, unless the authors were or became aware of the series identification eg.
Also avoid publisher series, unless the publisher has a true monopoly over the "works" in question. So, the Dummies guides are a series of works. But the Loeb Classical Library is a series of editions, not of works. Home Groups Talk Zeitgeist. The 12 Days of LT scavenger hunt is going on. Can you solve the clues?
