Sam is the most promising swordsman among this years crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thules best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, shell be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one.

But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery.

Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasnt recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, hell take away her sword and send her packing.

Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable.

Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart?

Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

Ok...

In the middle of this book I wanted to favorite it. The story is good, funny, entertaining. Keeps you reading all the way til the end. In fact when that came to be, I actually SAID "Is this the freaking end?!" Yes, even though it is not compulsory, the ending does leave open for a sequel. But it works just fine as a standalone as well, so don't even mind that until you finish reading it.
The thing that made me give this book 4 stars instead of 5, is that in my humble opinion the author left too much of the romance to be said at the end of the book, which made me love the middle of it more than any other part of it. Also, even though I liked Sam's strong personality, sometimes she was just so dumb, saying things that made me want to physically hurt her. :P Ok, maybe that's too much, but she is not wise. That I can say.
All in all I still gave this book 4,5 stars, so I definitely recommend the reading! (: Enjoy!
