Been rereading this today and I found myself enjoying this again. I find myself falling in love with the characters again. The revenge, jealousy, redemption, pride and stuff. Still refreshing as the first time I read it as a teenager (and here's to folks defending physical book so much, my copy broke apart, literally. Probably because the glue hardened and became less flexible). A story of a forbidden romance between an English lady and a Scottish Gypsy bastard. Unlike the title, the tone of the story doesn't carry those "stockholm syndromes" criteria as a lot of historical romances with similar plot do. I enjoyed the part with the Dacre's animosity towards the Douglas and Kennedy which evolved into a much serious plot that follows the events in the previous book. Neither of the characters are quite one dimensional. The antagonists have great reason to hate the other, plot twist at the right part of the book. I like the part where both main character complement each other as soulmates. Although Tina and Ram are more erotically charged than the couple in this book, I find this book withstood the test of time in my case.

A disappointing book with a very loose connection with historical (and other areas of) accuracy. "Strip the willow" is not a dance, it’s a set of moves you make whilst dancing. The Gay Gordons is a 19th century dance a bit out of place at a medieval Scottish border céilidh. Small, perhaps individually insignificant, errors like this on almost every page, destroyed my enjoyment of the book. The soft porn sex scenes were OK though. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Clan Kennedy (book 2)
New York Times bestselling author Virginia Henley brings her trademark passion, power, and steamy sensuality to this dazzling work of romance fiction-an unforgettable tale of a headstrong Englishwoman abducted by a Scotsman seeking passionate revenge....Raven Carleton is every inch the English lady. But on this glorious morning, as she gallops along the seacoast, Raven is thinking about her freedom, not her imminent betrothal to aristocratic Christopher Dacre. Suddenly Raven is forced to draw rein when a man appears directly in her path. Silhouetted against the predawn sky, he is magnificent-a darkly powerful stranger who will alter the course of her life.When Scotsman Heath Kennedy first glimpses Raven Carleton, he sees a creature of such infinite loveliness, she takes his breath away. But in a land divided, Raven is about to become a pawn in the bitter border wars between England and Scotland. Abducted by Heath and held for ransom, Raven finds herself attracted to him in ways she never could have imagined...and Heath is utterly beguiled by his headstrong captive. Risking the wrath of two realms, the Scotsman does the unthinkable- He offers Raven her freedom. He asks only one thing in return. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
