وصف الناشر
From New York Times bestseller Hannah Howell, a classic love story of a Scottish hero too wild to be tamed and the woman he’s destined to set free . . .
Pleasance Dunstan is used to silently bearing the cruelties put upon her by her thoughtless family. But nothing can prepare her for the greatest indignity of all: being sold into servitude to a man as wild as Tearlach O’Duine. His untamed ways are whispered of throughout town, and he has set his sights on Pleasance to be more than his servant. He will have her in his bed.
Pleasance could escape this fate with a word, but her fierce pride keeps her silent. Instead, she follows her new master to the rough lands where he has made a home and finds a world beyond any she has ever known—a world of desire. For though he is her captor, only Tearlach can show her how freeing true passion can be . . . and while her servitude to him will one day end, nothing can stop the binding of their hearts . . .

Loved it!
Even though I was expecting a story set in the highlands, this turned out to be one best books I have read! Hannah Howell has become one of my favorite authors!
Disappointing Read
Hannah Howell does not write too many non regency / non Highland storylines so I was excited to read this one. This book has a fairly good storyline which is why I gave it three stars. However that was nearly outweighed by the fact that the story could’ve been told in half the number of pages. The other half of the book was filled with unrelenting rehashing of the two main character’s insecurities and way too many gratuitous long winded sex scenes. I skimmed a lot of pages.
Finally, there was nothing presented to justify Tearlach’s cruelty toward Pleasance. There was nothing charming about his constant and at times forceful seduction of an indentured virgin, which made this story uncomfortable to read at times.
Bottom line . . . . . . . Hannah Howell not at her best!
