It is 1067 and Cameron d'Aberon, a Norman knight in service to William, came to England's shores for one purpose only--to conquer. This fierce Medieval knight conquers not only a fortress but the heart of the strong-willed Lady Kaela of Chaldron. At first she dislikes him almost as much as her evil and lustful Saxon cousin, Broderick. But, as the King's ward, she soon finds herself married to the Norman. Cameron's wounded heart does not want her love and his greatest fear is to feel love. Yet he would enter the fires of hell to keep Kaela by his side. And, when Kaela's life is threatened, Cameron realizes he just might have to.

Under The Covers Book Reviews - Recommended
Set in 1076 England, just after William has taken the throne, this medieval romance has everything: a conquering knight, a damsel in distress, a would-be rapist, Normans, Saxons, castles, danger, violence, passion, and, above all else, love. Heart-wounded and empty, Cameron D'Albernon, one of William's knights, is rewarded for his prowess at arms with a fortress and a wife. Lady Kaela is the wife, and a woman who knows how to love without stint--and it is that love that changes him, teaches him the full meaning of love, and sends him headlong into danger to save this woman, his wife.

Filled with writerly grace and scholarly research, this page-turner made me willing to suspend all my disbelief and allow Ms Dansby to pull me forward, through all the complexity of her well-handled plot, and take me to an ending that made me sigh. Bravo, Ms Dansby, for a marvelous first novel.

The Word On Romance / Robin Peek
One of the King's most fierce and loyal knights, Cameron D'Abernon, the Black Wolf, comes to England for one reason, and one reason only... to conquer. Succeeding, Cameron returns home and is rewarded with lands of his own and a wife. Lady Kaela is a beauty, but Cameron vows never to love again, because to love brings heartache and pain.

Suffering beatings and nearly raped at the hand of her cousin Broderick, Lady Kaela hopes never to be bedded by any man. When the Black Wolf enters the gates of Chaldron Castle by order of the King, and is to bring Kaela to meet the King and Queen, she is both frightened and hopeful. If the King marries her to a baron maybe he will not want to bed her. When Kaela returns home, it is with a new husband... Cameron. Will she let him love her?

Forever, My Knight is a captivating tale of knights and ladies, danger and deceit, and of two lonely souls who discover the healing power of love. After the loss of his young son, Cameron vows never to love again, for to love is too painful. However, resisting the lovely Kaela and the young Mattie becomes harder and harder as each day passes. Kaela has known nothing but fear and pain from men, yet Cameron teaches her the gentle side of love, softening her towards him. Both have impentetratable walls around their hearts, that must be broken if their marriage is to survive. The villian is still out there and dangerous, and when he takes Kaela, Cameron realizes his love for Kaela almost too late.

"I've just finished reading Forever, My Knight. Although I'm an avid reader I really never cared much for romance. I had always found them to violent or the women too brainless and I felt my life was rich enough that I did not need to read to live vicariously through these characters that were totally unbelievable. However, I did pick up this one... Surprise! I was hooked! I'm in love with Cameron and if I can't have him I'm happy Kaela does. I couldn't put the book down! I'm very much looking forward to the release of her next book... I'll be scanning the bookshelves for it as I can't wait!" R. Williams
