Everard Wulfrith can never forget the woman he once loved, nor the woman who once betrayed them and ripped them apart. But when Lady Susanna de Balliol comes back into his life, seeking sanctuary for his long lost Judith’s son, he cannot deny her. As Everard works to safeguard the boy’s inheritance, he learns that Susanna may not in fact have been as faithless as he assumed, and Susanna learns that even in the darkest hour, hope can reemerge.
This book holds an unusual love story, as the ghost of the departed Judith stands between Susanna and Everard. Forced to fend for herself in a cruel world, Susanna arrives at Wulfen Castle damaged and broken, but determined to do her best by her nephew, whatever the cost to herself. Despising her initially as a traitor and a harlot, Everard finds his mask of indigation beginning to crack when he realizes the cruelty of the life Susanna has had to bear. This book introduces Sir Elias Morville, a troubadour at heart, whose feelings for Susanna must yield to Everard’s, but whose story will be continued in a later book.

Another hit :)
I thoroughly enjoyed book 5 of this marvelous series. Though each book can stand alone (with the exception of book 3 perhaps that leaves a bit of concern over a secondary character which is resolved in book 4), the whole series is wonderful and unlike other series where the books tend to get weaker as you go, each book in Age of Faith is a powerful and enjoyable read.
The Longing's hero (Everard) has remained largely an enigma in the previous books, so one of the real joys of this book was unraveling his mystery as we learned his story. Great character development on both lead characters and wonderfully believable interactions and (of course) romantic tension :)
A thoroughly enjoyable read - though all Tamara Leigh's books are, which is why she's quickly solidified her spot as one, of my favorite authors. Bravo Tamara on another work well done! As always, eagerly awaiting more ;)

Complete series review on Faithfully Bookish.com
Who can resist a tale of knights in shining armor and damsels in distress?! Medieval times are often romanticized but if it's wrong, I don't want to be right!
Every young lady who has ever had a crush will relate to Lady Susanna de Balliol and her young-love heart-eyes for Everard Wulfrith. Now that she's older and responsible for the well-being of her nephew, she's willing to do endure the wrath of the man who blames her for his lost love to seek his aid in The Longing.
I have immensely enjoyed reading and rereading the Age of Faith series over the last few years and highly recommend it for delightful binge reading. One of my favorite aspects of this series is the way each plot is skillfully intertwined with the other installments. The characters' lives interconnect in genuine relationships forged by struggle, strife, and love. Tamara Leigh's stories are guilty pleasure reading without the guilt and are among my all-time favorites.
These books were either purchased by me or borrowed through the Kindle Unlimited program. The opinions expressed are my own.

Due to content I do not recommend this book. Personally... Most will be fine with them however I just didn't really like how descriptive or suggestive they were at points.
I read the whole of the series and I liked them but may places I skimmed or skipped due to sexual content, fade to black scenes, or too many details.

I knew Everard's story would be awesome! I'm sad he's the last Wulfrith but glad there's more to come in this series.
