I found this book as a free read and thought I’d give it a try. I have a thing for historical fiction, especially ones with medieval-ish themes. This was a short read, but I really really enjoyed it so much that I went ahead and read the rest of the series.
Niall was such a loveable character with his broken heart, desire to do good, and fierce protectiveness of the woman he wed, that I could not get enough of him. Nora was a surprising character who was forced into a world she didn’t know or understand based on sheer will and survival instincts. I enjoyed her character because she was clearly brave to leave her world behind; not many women would have done as much. Had she not stumbled upon–literally–Niall when she did, she would have had an entirely different life. Sometimes chance meetings are just the thing we all need. Great read! I recommend the entire series. And, I’ve discovered Miriam Minger as an author I thoroughly enjoy.
Delightful! One of my favorite authors!
The characters were kind and good. Great and easy read. Would definitely read more by this author after this!
Kept me rivited! Romantic!
Epic Historical Romance! Keeps you on the edge of your seat!!! I highly recommend this novel as a great page turner! Well done!
Good romance storyline.
I was a little bit surprised with the ending but really liked it.
This was heart pounding story. It can be stand alone, but as with most series, have cross over character’s. My favorites have been book 2 and this one. Not only suspenseful, but the character’s came to life.
I liked the honesty the h had in telling why she was fleeing. There is sadness, but also joy. My heart ached for the h in all that transpired, especially the people she lost in such a short time.
The H was trying to get over losing a women he thought he loved until he met out h. His relationship isn’t kept from the h and she handled it well. She had low self esteem issues thanks to her awful step mother. The H is caring and loyal and he does right by the h more than once.
There is passionate lovemaking within marriage, heat level 4 out of 5 and described several times. I loved this couple so it was filled with passion and love. Wasn’t vulgar to me, but that is aa personal preference.
Nasty villain, very suspenseful, twists, great main and secondary character’s, no cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA, romance and steam. I can’t improve on the blurb, so not attempting. Just giving some of the things I found interesting, I hope. (ljb)
Beautifully done. My favorite O’Byrne has found a wife in the most unusual way. Niall has been burying in his sorrows in drink for awhile. Nora is running away from marriage to a monster. An accidental meeting bring these two together. Once again the author has scripted a magnificent story. It is filled with passion and action that will leave you eager to turn the pages. You will immerse yourself in all the action as it unfolds to a glorious ending.
Niall has been gone from home for two months, drowning his sorrows after waiting two years for a woman who ended up spurning him upon her 18th birthday. Another young lass of 18, Nora, from a different clan, tripped over him as she was running to the river, trying to flee her unfortunate circumstances of an impending wedding to a monster of a man—a wedding manipulated by her new stepmother, with no dissent from her grieving and confused father. One circumstance leads to another in which these two souls share a sweet connection. The hero, heroine, and supporting characters were very likable. The supporting characters’ previous challenges were alluded to in this story. The importance of family and loyalty were strong themes.
Short and Suspenseful Read
There is a lot of action, suspense, and romance packed into this book, along with two courageous main characters. The relationship between Nora and Niall progressed quickly, but their love for each other developed naturally. After all, Niall was a protector at heart, thinking his chance for true love was forever gone, and as for Nora, who wouldn’t love a man who saved her from certain danger?
