Constance had given him up. Gabriel, the one man who could make her smile, who could bring joy to her world, was gone. She deliberately drove him away. She gave in to her parents' wishes and agreed to marry Barnard, a much older neighbor, to solidify her family’s borders.
A handfasting, two failed attempts at having children, and she never even got that ring.
Six years later, bandits are invading the realm while Barnard is too occupied with other women to lift a finger. To make matters worse, Gabriel returns home from the Crusades, his honor and strength a bitter reminder of all she has lost. Watching the single maidens vie for his affection is almost more than she can bear.
When Barnard turns violent, Constance is forced to flee for her life. Gabriel rides to the rescue - an act which brings the hangman’s noose!
All author's proceeds from sales of the Sword of Glastonbury series benefit battered women’s shelters.

A Sense of Duty A Medieval Romance The Sword of Glastonbury Series Book 4 eBook Lisa Shea
Ah, how to rate a book? Of course we all must realize it’s a personal opinion. If you’ll indulge me a bit, I’ll explain how I came across this book. Never having heard of it, I was meticulously going through Amazon’s top reviewers to see who I might ask to review my own women’s humor books. The criteria being women 40-60+ with a sense of humor about family, aging and child rearing.At #140, stood the name Lisa Shea. She didn’t seem like a likely candidate but an interesting person indeed. I perused her websites in total curiosity and found she was also a writer.
In total curiosity I bought this book. After all, it would be easier to ask for a review if I’d read one of her books right? Plus all the proceeds go to women’s shelters. A place I would have sought out at one point had it not been for my dogs.
Not my normal choice for a read, I began. I wasn’t particularly happy with one of the decisions Constance (our main character) made near the beginning of the book. (It's not the one you think.) How could she! This made me want to slap her and kept the first quarter of the book at a 3 star for me and I wondered if I should keep reading. I put it down but picked it up again at bedtime to give it another try.
As it progressed I found there was going to be some depth to this book and I guessed some of what was going to happen and how it might turn out. It must have climbed to at least a 4 star because I didn’t turn off the light until 5am.
The next morning I began work at home on my computer but it seemed I was still caught up in the story and it was the weekend so I indulged myself and finished the book. Now I miss the characters.
I hate reviews that give away the plot or divulge moments we should find on our own, so let me just say this. If you like intelligent characters with honor, courage and above all, integrity; this book is for you. And while it is a romance, I find it refreshing there are no explicit sex scenes. They really aren't needed anyway.
While not my normal genre, I really enjoyed A Sense of Duty – A Medieval Romance and once I catch up on some other things I’ll be reading more of Shea’s books and I hope you will too.

A Sense of Duty A Medieval Romance The Sword of Glastonbury Series Book 4 eBook Lisa Shea Reviews
It's been many years since I've read an historical novel set in the Medieval period. But I fell right into this story and thoroughly enjoyed it. Lisa Shea has written a captivating novel with intrigue, adventure, and romance that will keep you turning pages.
Constance is a bright, strong-minded young woman who has given up everything out of duty to family and country. She has endured a loveless marriage, an impotent husband, and estrangement from family and friends, because she believes her actions intrinsic to keeping the countryside from war. Secretly in love with the man who served as her personal body guard before her marriage, she has only memories to keep her warm at night.
But when she is kidnapped and held for ransom, things begin to heat up and she learns that everything is not as it seems. Bandits are marauding, robbing, and killing innocents and she is yet another of their victims. A secret group of soldiers that call themselves the Angelus come to her rescue, but can she trust these men? No one knows for sure.
A Sense of Duty was wonderfully full of romance, humor, and touching moments. I especially enjoyed a scene where Constance and Gabriel are playing tug of war with a rope beside a pond) The historical aspects of the novel are detailed and interesting enough to give you that sense of place and setting but not so heavy handed that they take over the story. The heroine is realistically portrayed. She isn't a wimpy girl who needs a man to protect her at every step, but she knows her limitations and when heavy fighting ensues, she knows when to get out of the way.
Barbara Ellen Brink, author of Entangled & Crushed
Lisa Shea's 'A Sense of Duty' offered a great story, without the coy or frustratingly idiotic antics I too often see in romance novels. The main character, Constance, is no shrinking violet, but instead a woman willing to give up her personal happiness for the greater good of keeping her people safe from harm.
In a world where marriage was often a business transaction, Constance needs to leave behind the love of her life. The way Lisa portrays this heroine is quite satisfying, for Constance, while not flawless, remains true to herself throughout the story and proves herself to be an intelligent, courageous soul.
I won't give away the ending - for I was glad to be wondering to the end how it might turn out - but finishing this book in the wee hours of the morning was a very nice way for me to start the New Year and speaks to Lisa's ability to hold your attention throughout the story. I also enjoyed the way she presented details in such a manner that I learned new aspects of medieval life without feeling I was being force-fed.
Further, Lisa Shea donates all proceeds from sales of these novels to battered women shelters - a noble cause indeed.
I heartily recommend this book for a broad range of readers and appreciate the attention to detail the author provides in painting this tale of life and love in medieval times.
