My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Like book’s one and two this is a standalone book, and the others are not needed to be read to read this book. In this book you meet Jacek and his wife Oliwia and their family. Jacek is growing restless, being involved in war for so long, he is unsure how to keep himself busy. His wife tries to curb this by sending him on errands that take him a while to do. But when war comes again, and he is asked to join, he is unsure what he will decide. Will he join his comrades, or will he say with his family? Oliwia knows that her country needs her husband, so she cooks up a plan to join him, but will that work or will it spell disaster for her family? I loved reading this historical fiction and the way that this author has written his characters. It was nice reading about another story set in this world that the author has created for us!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book by this author that I have read, and it won’t be the last! The main character has to make a tough, life altering decision to either defend his country or his family. The honor and devotion the main character had was great and it added a lot of dynamic to the storyline. This book can be read as a standalone, but after reading it, I really feel like the storyline would have even more meaning by reading the two previous books in the series. I enjoyed the authors writing style, and the way that story developed with the characters and challenges that popped up along the way. The author captured and brought to life the mentality of a warrior and the struggles that they face when it comes to their passion of defending the land they live on and the love of their families. I normally don’t read this genre of books, but I was not disappointed! I would definitely recommend this book to a friend, and I am going to go back and read the first two books! Happy Reading!!

The Hussar's Duty (The Winged Warrior #3)The Hussar’s Duty by Griffin Brady
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Hussar’s Duty is a love story full of history and conflict between duty to country and family. Jacek goes to battle for his country while struggling with his obligations to his family he has left behind and those with him. This story has excellent history and emotions all packed together. Reading this book, I did not know it was book 3 of the series, but I could pick up hints of previous stories. I am glad I could follow the story without reading the first two.
The relationship between Oliwia and Jacek is so enduring. Their respect and understanding of each other is so inspiring. The heartache of being away from family at war and not knowing how his family is doing or if he would even return to them is so heart-wrenching, As well as the conflict with his young brother-in-law struggling with the growing pains of trying to find his place while learning the true meaning of being a man and a warrior. Honestly, going into this book, I didn’t know what to expect, but I really enjoyed it from the perspective of a mother and wife. I enjoyed the brotherhood and comradery of the men. The middle became very consumed by the battle of the story, and as more of a paranormal romance reader, I got a bit restless, but getting through that, this is a great story. I am glad I discovered it and am excited to go back and read the series’ first two books.

Although this book is the third in its series, I took a chance to read it as a standalone and still loved it. I’m so glad I did because it led me to pick up the previous books as well since the author’s writing style is just magnificent. I don’t typically read this genre, so I was taken by surprise with how much I enjoyed it. The flow of the story, the incredible details, and the thrilling adventure of it all were fantastic! I also enjoy it when there are maps placed at the beginning as I am very visual, so a big bonus there with me. It did take me slightly longer than usual to find my groove with this book, but I still give it 5 stars because I blame that on my not reading the previous in the series first. I absolutely recommend picking this up if you are at all interested in historical adventures because this will be right up your alley! Even if that’s not your thing, like me, you may be pleasantly surprised with the story.

Jacek had not stepped foot onto the battlefield in many years but when the message comes from the Crown how will Jacek choose family or country? When Jacek must leave for war Lady Oliwia convinces her husband to allow her to come along. Leaving her children back at Biaska, Lady Oliwia must worry about her husband’s safe return and that of her children back at home. Riding into battle Jacek quickly realizes that they are outnumbered. Stepping outside my usual genre, I fell in love with this book from the first chapter. This book contains war, heroes, bad guys, and romance. This whole series is amazing.

Jacek is a man bound by duty to his country. He loves his wife and his children deeply, but the call of his country runs deeper. As he is once again called upon, he feels the same invigoration of going on campaign and readying for war. However, this time his wife has decided to accompany him part way. Her observations of what she sees happening falls on his loyal-blind eyes. After their first conflict, he finds scales falling from his eyes and finally sees what his wife observed. Is he too late to return to his family? Will this be his last campaign?

Being a military spouse, I feel like this book resonated with me on a deeper level than maybe a person not connected to the military. It gave me a different perspective on how my spouse perhaps looks at his duty to his country. I appreciated seeing Jacek battle with his feelings and finally seeing that his wife’s observations were truer than he wanted to see. On the other hand, I also liked seeing how his wife supported him despite his duty-bound heart. In truth, this was a timely read for me.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Hussar’s Duty is the third book in The Winged Warrior Series. It is a historical adventure that is set in the 17th Century at the time of the war between the Ottoman Empire and Central Europe. Although it can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading the first two books so that you know more about the backstory and characters. The author has done an amazing job of transporting the reader to the 17th Century through detailed writing that fully immerses you in each scene. The storyline centers around the characters of Jacek and Oliwia who have been living a peaceful life until Jacek gets called back into duty. Jacek was a warrior with the Winged Warriors but now has turned his focus to devoting his life to his wife and family. When he is called back to duty Jacek finds that he feels conflicted between duty to his country or the love of his family. Jacek’s character is one that is easy to get heavily invested into as he must make the gut-wrenching decision of choosing loyalty to his country or the love of his family. I highly recommend this book that is full of adventure, action, drama, danger, angst, and romance.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Having read the previous books in this series I was looking forward to being back with Jacek and Oliwia, and I was not disappointed. As usual the descriptive narrative brought the characters and the setting vividly to life, while the added historical details transported me back in time. The storyline is set in the era when Sultan Osman II sends Poland’s envoy packing, and the Commonwealth is preparing for war against the Ottomans large army. Grand Hetman of the Crown Stanisław Żółkiewski has been tasked with repelling the invasion, and he needs the Commonwealth’s most valiant Polish winged hussar, Jacek Dąbrowski.
Meanwhile, Jacek has made a life away from the battlefield with his wife Oliwia and their children, and although he is feeling idle he’s worried that his family will be at risk whilst he’s away. However, Oliwia has no intention of letting him go alone and so hatches a plan to accompany him. Jacek is torn between his country and his family, knowing that which ever one he chooses it will have consequences. This is a fast paced, exciting read with a storyline full of adventure, drama, and romance and a plot which keeps you guessing as to the outcome of the story. An enjoyable and entertaining novel, and one which I recommend.

Although I do not enjoy war or warfare itself, there is a special place in my heart for warriors. The main characters are a warrior and his wife in medieval Poland. There are similarities to German spellings and the grammatical syntax of the Russian languages to be quite interesting. These details are compelling as points of history. Another interesting point is the role the wife takes, both in her marriage and her household.

He’s restless and itches to be back in the battles that’s he’s always been in. When Jacek is called back to fight for Poland he rushes to help but when he gets there he realizes not everything is at it seems. Torn between his Country that he loves and who he pledged to fight for and his family. Which battle will Jacek take on the one for his Country or the one with his wife. He loves his family but he was born to fight for his country. This author has written this series so well I feel as if I’m in Poland in the 17th century and in the middle of this horrible war.

The Hussar’s Duty is the third book in The Winged Warrior series. I recommend reading the books previous to this one, but this can still be enjoyed as a standalone story. Jacek has defended his country tirelessly but is now settled with a wife and family. Despite his wife’s best attempts at keeping him busy so he doesn’t feel restless, he is pulled by the call to arms. Will he have to choose between his country and family?
This is well-written historical fiction. The characters are full of depth, and the story is complex but relatable. It has been a while since I read the second book in this series, but I didn’t feel lost in the story. Jacek is an interesting character and shows how a soldier can be so dedicated to a cause. Though this is a bit complex at times, the author draws the reader in, and you don’t want to put it down. I rediscovered this author with this book and look forward to reading more from this author in the future.

I really enjoyed this historical story. It has something for everyone. Romance, danger,unrest, brave warriors, war and plenty of action.
This is the 3rd book in The Winged Warriors series and even though this book can be read on its own and still be enjoyed I would recommend reading the books in order so that you can fully immerse yourself in the story and the history. You can take that the author is passionate about this time period as the research and details involved in this book are amazing. As a reader you are transported back in time and given a complete insight into what life was like.
Jacek is a brave warrior. As part of The Winged Warriors he has been on several missions fighting for his country. During that time he also found love.
Now he has a decision to make that no warrior wants to face. Does he go back to fight and do his duty for his country or does he stay with his family? Both decision have consequences and we follow Jacek through all the ups and downs and the twists and turns thats happen along the way when his wife tries to give him the best of both. The freedom to fight again while having his family near but this also leads to complications and problems and the price maybe too high for Jacek to pay.
This is a completely engaging historic tale. The writing style is so descriptive that you can actually visually every scene the author describes. I felt completely invested in Jacek’s life, his family and the consequences of their decisions.

The characters are relatable and creative. A story about a warrior who finds himself in a position of having to make a choice of defending the country who needs him or his family who also needs him. A story of honor, devotion and obligation. You don’t want to miss what happens with this warrior as his heart is toren in two different directions. I enjoyed what the characters brought to this story. It is a entertaining and easy story to read. It is fast paced and full of adventure. I highly recommend this book.

The Hussar’s Duty is the third book in The Winged Warrior series by Griffin Brady. This is an intriguing historical adventure story with drama, action, romance, angst, danger, family, emotion, plots, agendas, duty/responsibility, tension, loyalties, challenges, and more.
Jacek is one of the most fearless and dedicated winged warriors, and when his country calls him back to the battlefield he is torn between his honor as a formidable Polish soldier with a duty to his country, and love- his obligation to his family. It seems that no matter what he chooses the price will be high. What happens makes for an intriguing read.
I appreciated Griffin Brady’s attention to detail and wonderfully descriptive writing which brought the whole story to life right before my eyes. The historical detailing was on-point and easily captured my attention, pulling me into the story and transporting me to the 17th century where I stayed fully immersed in the developments as the story unfolded. It is apparent that the author has spent a lot of time researching the era and it shows in her attention to detail.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Griffin Brady!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am not a huge fan of historical romance I find it hard to stay concentrated but this book was good. Jacek is a soilder and a pretty good one and his only goal is to progress in his military career so he does not have time for romance.
When Jacek rescues a beautiful woman called Oliwia and her brother, Jacek  didn’t realise how mesmerised he could be by a woman.
Oliwia has secrets of her own and things seem to be piling up against the couple that makes it seem almost impossible for their love to bloom.

This is a very good book when it comes to historical romance

He is adamant about defending his nation. Is he, however, capable of defending himself against the ultimate betrayal? 1610, Muscovy Jacek Dbrowski want to be remembered for his bravery. The twenty-two-year-old Polish cavalry officer earns his captain’s animosity instead of securing the territories he craves with his recent promotion to lieutenant. And his out-of-character rescue of two innocents from slaughter sets off a cascade of disastrous events. Dbrowski leads the young woman and her brother back to the castle in his birthplace after discovering they are not Russian opponents and have no relations.

However, when his competition with his superior intensifies and the growing beauty ignites a fire in his heart, the valiant horseman’s aspirations of greatness may be shattered. Will the brave warrior be able to withstand sinister plots that threaten to ruin all he holds dear? The first book in The Winged Warrior Series historical fiction duology, The Heart of a Hussar, is a gripping read. Griffin Brady’s well-researched novel will appeal to fans of motivated characters, gut-wrenching twists, and dramatic action scenes.

I loved this story. I loved every page of it. Every chapter was exciting. This is my first book in the series from this author and I can’t wait to read the rest of her books.

The Heart of a Hussar is the first book in The Winged Warrior Series and I absolutely loved reading this Historical Fiction/Romance story that you will find yourself pulled in from the beginning and doesn’t let go till the end. It’s a bit long but I honestly was so caught up in the story I really didn’t notice. This being a fairly new author I wasn’t sure what to expect but man was I blown away by the attention to detail and the characters wow. This author definitely did the research that’s for sure. Get ready for quite the adventure with Jacek as he is a newly appointed Lieutenant and while out searching for supplies he rescues Oliwia and her brother. Jacek don’t realize his actions may cause serious consequences. You guys I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. I don’t want to accidentally give up to much.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

To say that I branch out far from my preferred book genres on a regular basis would be a lie. I do enjoy sitting down with an easy to read, melt my heart, HEA sort of romance, or a crazy, whirlwind dystopian novel, because I am a creature of habit. I am so very glad I took a leap into 17th century and met our main hero Jacek, who has just received news that he will be one step closer to his lifelong goal. Shortly after receiving said news, he comes across a devastating scene that completely brings his caring and protective side to light. Here, he saves our lovely Oliwia and her little brother, Filip, who have just lost their parents to Lisowski’s “lost men,” who are known as brigands to the Winged Warriors.

This is where our story really begins. From here, the reader becomes drawn into what could very well become the next best show, as that’s what it ended up being for me, a novel that drew me in and let me take my mind off of the personal turmoil that has been plaguing me as of late. The writing style, the way the characters have a slow burn sort of development individually and together, and the world building that is all encompassing, is just brilliant. As mentioned in other reviews, I certainly wouldn’t say that it is an easy read, nor would I recommend it to someone that is looking to read a novel in one sitting, as this novel deserves all the attention and time you can spare. I will certainly be reading the next installment and cannot wait to see what happens!
