An Oath Sworn by Diana Cosby

An Oath Sworn by Diana Cosby
This is book 3 in the Oath Taken Trilogy.
Attacked and injured on the way to deliver a message to the King of France, Colyne MacKerran finds himself being taken care of by a beautiful woman. Deciding to help her reach her destination, Coyne must keep his mission a secret.
Marie Alesia Serouge is the bastard daughter of the King of France. She was kidnapped and must find her way home before her father declares war with Scotland for her kidnapping. Not knowing who to trust, she keeps her identity from Clyne.
Making their way to the same destination, unbeknownst to the other, they start to have feeling for each other. Can something that started with untruths continue when all the facts are given?
I really like the storyline, but the writing was not up to the standard of the other two book in the series. I found myself just skimming over the text for quite a bit of the story. 
I had high hopes for this story, but I was very disappointed...

An Oath Broken by Diana Cosby

An Oath Broken by Diana Cosby
This is book 2 in the Oath Trilogy.
Giric Armstrong, Earl of Terrick, just needs some money to get his keep up and running. He takes a job of escorting Lady Sarra Bellacote from England to her betrothed in Scotland. There personalities clash from the moment they met which makes for an interesting journey.
Sarra doesn't want to leave her keep get married to a man that she doesn't like, but her guardian has decreed it so she is complying. She starts butting heads with her escort and soon has to count on him to save her life when they are set upon reivers determined to get her.
To get away from the danger, Sarra and Giric must break from the group they are traveling with. Giric and Sarra soon find they have a mutual attraction, but since she is spoken for by another man they must not act on it. But what happens when they are forced to get closer than they ever thought they would?
I've been waiting for Giric's story since I read An Oath Taken. After suffering for so long in the dungeon, I wanted him to get his HEA. Cosby did not disappoint. No way would he have been happy with a weak woman and Sarra definitely challenges him at every turn. 
Forced into a situation in which it was just the two of them, they quickly came know the other intimately.  They are forced through circumstances to survive on their own, which meant that they had to learn to trust the other quickly.  Cosby did an awesome job showing how their feeling grew for each other through all of the obstacles put in their way.
My only complaint is that I felt the story ended too abruptly. I would have like another chapter or two. I can't wait to read Colyne's story which comes out in December.

An Oath Taken by Diana Cosby

An Oath Taken by Diana Cosby
This is book 1 in the Oath Trilogy series.
Sir Nicholas Beringar, the new castellan of Ravenmoor Castle, is trying to gain the trust of the locals. It doesn't help that one of the locals has started stealing from the Englishman in his employ. When he catches the young man, he makes him his squire instead of punishing him.
What Nicholas doesn't know, is that his new squire is really Lady Elizabet Armstrong. She needed a way into Ravenmoor to see if her people were ok. Her brother and father were put into the dungeon by the previous castellan.
What will Nicholas do when he finds out that his squire is not who he thinks he is?
This is my first book by Cosby but it definitely won't be my last.  I sat down and read the book in one sitting as I didn't want to put it down.
I love that Elizabet was willing to do anything to help her people, even if that meant going into the place where her family was being held captive. She didn't want to like Nicholas because of all the awful things that his predecessor did, but he showed Elizabet that he was a much better man through his actions with the prisoners and his interactions with her (whom he thought was an orphan that had been wrongly used by others).
I can't wait for the next book in the series which stars Elizabet's brother Giric, the Earl of Terrick.
