Review # 1 was written on 2017-10-03 00:00:00 Tania Watson How happy i was when i realized that this book is about Stephen deWarenne,the oldest son of Rolfe deWarenne who was the hero from one of my favourite historical romantic novels "The Conqueror". It is such a long time ago i read any book by Brenda,and how excited i was to come back to her world.She is one of the authors i know that writes with such passion that always captures my attention from the first word.Brenda Joyce certainly is one of my favourite authors,how can she not be,when she writes romantic love-story`s with such raw passion,sensuality and wickedly exciting plot.She does it all... Stephen and the heroine Mary were both wonderfully created characters.Stephen has much of his fathers character,but he hasn`t the brutality his father had before he met the heroine,so i could easily compare the two of them. Mary is an brave heroine,like the heroine from "The Conqueror" Ceidre Stephens mother,she is torn between her loyalty to her family and her love for her husband.Stephen is true Alpha-male,and one who welcomed his love towards heroine with open arms,but later became afraid of it after her betrayal.He was totally besotted and oh so WONDERFUL and i could sympathize with his harsh actions towards the heroine.Heroes always push their heroines away when they hurt or betray them. I just loved his brothers Geoffrey and i wonder what later happened with his and Adele`s relationship.The author doesn`t mention it,and i would certainly like to know. And will Stephen know of the seduction Prince Henry tried towards Mary?I mean this is literally the first bodice ripper i came across where a OM almost succeeds in seducing the heroine,LOL!Stephen would likely kill him if he ever knew.And what happens with Duncan later?He abducted Mary..Oh gosh so many questions unanswered.
