Notes:Lazzaro sets out to Pesaro to gain revenge for the death of his father. He is found out and made the court jester. On a journey, he is able to save the beautiful Paola from brigands. They become friends, and Lazzaro falls deeply in love, but Paola is betrothed to the count. He contents himself with doing what he can for her. A second suitor, failing in his attempts to gain her love, intends to kidnap her. Again Lazzaro intervenes and the two confess their love for each other. More mayhem occurs, and Lazzaro narrowly escapes torture and death, but in the end, he and Paola are married.
My Rating: 7

Review - Shame of Motley, The

It was someone annoying how Lazzaro was one moment brave and strong and able to defeat the strongest warriors and the next was passively accepting his fate. But it was a quick, fun read overall
