    Leap into the Knight is a fast-paced, emotional adventure filled with tension and romance. I love Darius and Maggie. The conflict they have to overcome is difficult and set up nicely. MJ Schiller has created a believable futuristic world and a compelling story. I can't wait to read the next in the series!

    This book should be made into a movie. It is packed with galactic knights, princesses in ball gowns, laser sword fights and a love triangle. Schiller keeps the twists coming, the action moving and love intensifying. Great read!

    Leap Into the Knight by M.J. Schiller is a 2014 Kissmet publication. I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

    When Darius, a great Knight and his novice, Orion, are commissioned to rescue a princess being held against her will and about to be forced into marriage to a horrible man, the last thing he expects is to find his entire career as a knight put to the test.

    The Princess Megan- or Maggie to her friends, is beautiful and talented. Grateful for the intervention of the handsome and brave knight- Darius, and so happy to be back home, she finds Darius and Orion are fast becoming very important to her. It would seem she and Darius have a special bond that helps them in times of crisis, but alas, Darius is unable to fully commit to the beautiful princess due to his duty as a knight, and to complicate matters worse, the danger is not over for Maggie, and Darius is not the only one close to Maggie who is in love with her.

    This novella length story is part of the Romantic Realms Collection- #3- and the first in the Romantic Knights Trilogy.

    I really enjoyed this fantasy story with a strong, dutiful and loyal Knight who rescues a damsel in distress and in the process finds love. Although Maggie is indeed in need of rescue, she is no shrinking violet. She is strong, resourceful and the perfect partner for Darius. Naturally, things are rather complicated because Darius can not become involved with anyone to his status as a knight, and because there is a bit of unrequited love going on behind the scenes which is really sad, but I have a feeling it won' t be long before that situation works itself out for the best. This novel has action, drama, family alliances and secrets, sadness and danger and at least for Maggie and Darius, it looks like they will have their happy ever after despite all the obstacles in their way. I am looking forward to finding out what happens next for the characters in this book. This one is 4 stars

    *I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.*

    Leap Into the Knight is an entertaining novella about a space-travelling knight and his apprentice rescuing a princess. The knight and the princess, despite obstacles, fall in love.

    The story took me by surprise. It was not at all what I expected. Because it was categorized as fantasy romance, I was not prepared for laser-swords, blasters, and spaceships. It definitely feels more science fiction to me than fantasy. The entire time I was reading it, I kept finding parallels to Star Wars such as guards with large white helmets, a princess in need of rescue, and the weapons used by the knights and guards. Of course, there were a lot of things that were different as well.

    Based on the blurb’s mention of returning the princess to her planet, and based on the assigned genre, I was thinking they’d travel through a portal or something. When I started reading it and found out they had spaceships, I was a little wary. I don’t typically read space stories. I’m glad I kept reading, though, because it ended up being good.

    Despite being more sci-fi than fantasy, this story is truly a romance. There is some action here and there, but the main plot revolves around the blooming relationship between Darius and Megan. If you like stories where the characters sacrifice everything to be together, this is a good one for you. I also recommend it to readers who like love triangles.

    Even though it wasn’t what I was expecting, I thought this was an enjoyable, well-written, story. I would read more by M.J. Schiller.

    I can't wait for more of Darius and Maggie's story to be told. I love the action along with the budding love and romance. This has battles with other beings along with battles of the heart. Darius is a warrior Maggie is a survivor Darius and his novice, Orion are on a mission. It is this mission that the three of them meet. Darius and Maggie's relationship is not what they were looking for when they met. The grief Maggie is feeling after returning home is at times overwhelming and I felt it along with her. I felt every emotion Darius, Maggie and Orion felt while reading this book. I want to know how these characters survive a new love, a new beginning, a love that is not returned and what their future holds for one another.
