For Love and Honor by Jody Hedlund

For Love and Honor (An Uncertain Choice, #3)Book Description:
Lady Sabine is harboring a skin blemish, one, that if revealed, could cause her to be branded as a witch, put her life in danger, and damage her chances of making a good marriage. After all, what nobleman would want to marry a woman so flawed?

Sir Bennet is returning home to protect his family from an imminent attack by neighboring lords who seek repayment of debts. Without fortune or means to pay those debts, Sir Bennet realizes his only option is to make a marriage match with a wealthy noblewoman. As a man of honor, he loathes the idea of courting a woman for her money, but with time running out for his family’s safety, what other choice does he have?

As Lady Sabine and Sir Bennet are thrust together under dangerous circumstances, will they both be able to learn to trust each other enough to share their deepest secrets? Or will those secrets ultimately lead to their demise?

My Thoughts:
This on is an 'in a series' book but can be read completely as a stand alone.  Sir Bennett has to pay back debts his brother accrued and to do that, he must marry a wealthy lady.  Lady Sabine fits the bill of wealthy but she has a mark that many would condemn her for.  The two of them are matched but neither want to marry for convenience only.
I have to say that I do love this cover.  It is fairly simple but completely beautiful to me.  I loved that there was more to Bennett and Sabine than insta-attraction.  There was some confusion about why they were meeting and then the two grew to like one another as people AND have a physical attraction.  The theme of trusting God is throughout the book and I really like how the author incorporated it in.  I truly enjoyed the characters in the book and really got into the story.  
Overall a 4/5 for me.  I really enjoyed it and read it in one sitting!

  1. I'd like to read this book just so I could review it for our website. We don't have a lot of YA books on there.
