My Review!!
I won this in Goodreads first reads.
I was in the mood for a good historical romance and I found
one. I’m so glad I won this on Goodreads and had the chance to read this great
story. The beginning was a little slow but it picked up once Margaret steps
into her new home, the castle
of Fyne. I was hooked
from then on out. One war has just ended and another is about to start. I love
battles and adventures…..and ROMANCE!!! Oh how I loved the romance in this
book. There was only one part of the book that I didn’t like though. When
Margaret goes to Alexander “The Wolf” room and they make love for the first
time. I enjoyed it but she was a virgin and the first time with her was against
a stone wall. I was hoping it would have been a little more romantic but I will
take what I can get. That’s the only part in the book where I thought there was
a flaw. The book spans within a year and a lot goes on in this time, Betrayals,
loyalties tested and sparks of a new beginning.
What made this book more enjoyable were the characters. I felt like all
the characters were well developed and they were very believable. I made
connections with all of them. If you don’t like the characters in a book then
you aren’t going to enjoy the book. This is not one of those books. This is the first book I’ve read by Brenda
Joyce and I’m eager to start reading her other books. :D
Overall: A Historical
Romance that will always be on my favorites list.
Margaret: Is the
only woman to dare defy “The Wolf” but she was not about to have her home taken.
Although she doesn’t succeed she keeps her head high in hopes of regaining her
dowry. She is very intelligent and can maneuver her way around a yes or no
question with ease. She is very loyal to
her family, but she doesn’t expect to betray them by falling for the enemy.
Love doesn’t pick and choose.
Alexander: I’m
going to admit it took me a while to like him. At first we meet him and seizes
Margaret’s castle and then he is a little man whore. I was thinking how in the
world he could be faithful if he has a different woman every night. He proves
me wrong and his and Margaret’s love will forever be etched in my heart. I have
come to love the big bad wolf.
4 Stars!!!
