Having slept with his best friend’s wife, Sebastian found himself accidentally killing his best friend in an unexpected duel. This has led his father to disown him and has led him to live a life alone. Suffering his father’s fury over what happened, he promised not to step foot again in England. In order to survive, he has accepted odd jobs and became a mercenary that gave him a notorious title, The Raven. One day, Sebastian was visited by young and beautiful Lady Margaret Landor, who seeks for her service to find the son of her father’s friend, Douglas. Upon their meeting, Lady Margaret was surprised that The Raven was actually Sebastian whom she seeks. With this, Lady Margaret immediately asked Sebastian to go back to England to investigate the accidents that have befallen to his father that has his life in danger. Forcing Sebastian to go back in England is no easy task considering that the man has vowed to never go back to the land of his birth and to forget everything about his family. However, with so much effort and wit, Lady Margaret was able to convince Sebastian to return. Sebastian, being The Raven, decided to return only to finish the investigation about his father’s accidents which Lady Margaret has tasked him to do. Having disowned by his father, Sebastian is aware that he won’t be able to get information easily since he is not allowed to enter Edgewood. To solve this dilemma, Lady Margaret suggested that they pretend to be married in order to enter the land. A pretense marriage is not good for Lady Margaret, considering that she is at her prime. But she took the risk and found herself falling in love with the odious Sebastian. I was extremely disappointed in this book. It started off well-enough but the two lead characters never quite developed any chemistry between the two. I never reached a point where I was truly wishing to see them together. There was also the standard forced happy ending in which everyone lives happily-ever-after, people who were previously thought dead mysteriously reappear perfectly fine, etc. It just cleaned up a little too well for me. While I understand that most romance novels require one to put reality on hold (actually most books do, really), it just went a little too far for me. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
