When Duke Kensington dies, how can a young kitchen maid stand up for what she believes and save her best friend?

Mackenzie’s life has always been one of duty. However, in a land where even the Brotherhood of the Knights are becoming power hungry mongers, how can a young kitchen maid maintain her morals when tempted with all she’s never had?

In the end, the truth is even more complicated than Mackenzie had ever imagined.
 My Review
Five stars

Received from Historical Fiction Virtual tour for an honest review.
I really enjoyed "Mackenzie's Cross" by Sarah Barthel.  I'm a sucker for the knights in shining armor but when a heroine is also a strong character it makes it that much better.  The writing was easy and flowed.  It was a story that captured my attention from the very beginning.  I love stories where there is a great mixture of history, romance, adventure and mystery.  I enjoyed this story and the characters.  You can't go wrong reading this great adventure!
