For his bravery during the Crusades, Dominic Le Sabre, a Norman Knight, is rewarded with a Saxon bride and the land that comes with her. Lady Margaret Blackthorne is willing to do her duty to keep the peace but fears that she will never have her husband’s love.
While the plot and romance have potential, both suffer from the writing tropes and norms typical of the 1990s. Lowell uses flowery descriptions and euphemisms, which put a damper on Meg and Dominic’s sexual chemistry and the falcon metaphor results in Dominic coming across as imperious and overbearing rather than sensual and seductive.
Dominic and Meg are engaging overall, although Dominic’s obsession with having a son grates on the nerves after a while and Meg is much too good and sweet to be a truly interesting heroine. Moreover, the identity of the Blackthorne traitor is obvious from the start.
Nevertheless, the secondary characters are fleshed out nicely and it is actually my interest in Duncan and Simon’s stories that had me re-reading this installment in lieu of continuing with the series. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A nice little piece of fluff. I found some story lines a bit weak (the main male lead is supposed to be a master tactician, but to win the love of his wife he decides to gentle her like a hunting falcon with sexual seduction, rather than just get to know her, find out what she really wants/likes/needs, and give it to her) but they were necessary to add the spice to the story. I liked both main characters and enjoyed their story. I will continue with the series, but then I normally do.Under the name Ann Maxwell, Lowell wrote some of my favorite books (Fire Dancer & Timeshadow Rider). While this book was a fun little read/listen, it is far from that caliber.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5All the things I love in a book, medieval setting, strong characters, little bit of magic. Very well written, yet the "taming" of the heroine was an element that I could have done without
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5A weak story with unlikable characters.
