Passion's Exile is a great beach read for the upcoming summer. It has a cast of quirky and fun characters and the hero and heroine are, of course, destined to live happily ever after. It just takes them a bit to get there....

Sir Pierce lives with the memory of an action he cannot forget and he now travels as a mercenary called Blade with his good friend Wilhem. While waiting in a tavern they hear of a plot to kill the young heir of a laird. They decide to join a pilgrimage to St. Andrews to save the boy from harm - and to get a reward.

Rosamund of Averleigh sees something no young betrothed lady should see and she flees her home. She is smart, courageous and figures if she can join the pilgrims she can join the nunnery and escape an evil marriage.

The two meet and despite the supposed difference in their stations fall in love. But it is not something they can share as they each have their reasons. That does not keep them from the falling though and that is the fun of these classic romance novels. Ms. Campbell does a fine job with storytelling and an unconventional heroine for her times. The passion is very much present as these two slowly get to know one another.

It's a very fast and engaging read with two very likable leads. ( )
