![]() ![]() ![]() Traveling with Roger, this time at least, is his bastard half-brother, Hal Danby. Isn't she? Well, she thinks she is and she thinks he is - but it soon becomes apparent Sir Roger is nothing more than a womanizing flirt with no intentions of proposing marriage to a blacksmith's niece. Joanna is convinced he's going to propose any day now, and while his forceful kisses leave her feeling a bit uncertain, she's madly in love. ![]() She has set her sights on handsome knight, Sir Roger Danby, who intermittently travels to York for tournaments. So she's feeling the pressure to marry and start her own household. While he's not overtly cruel to her, let's just say Joanna is well aware that she's another mouth to feed and an added burden to her uncle's family. No, he's a blacksmith and he stays a blacksmith.Īfter her family is wiped out by pestilence, Joanna goes to live with her uncle, a blacksmith and powerful member of the Smiths' Guild. I'm also happy to report that while our hero is the bastard son of a titled, wealthy man - it's not revealed in the end that he's some long, lost Duke or is going to inherit his father's lands. Heroes in Medieval Romance Land tend to skewer heavily towards knights and warriors and warriors fighting knights. Admittedly I don't read a ton of medieval romances, but what drew me to The Blacksmith's Wife by Elisabeth Hobbes was the blacksmith hero. ![]()
