This was a rather disappointing book. The book starts with the heroine being stuck in a dungeon – she is being jailed after watching her entire family get murdered by a new “lord” of the manor. The lord plans to marry her and has tormented and jailed her to wear down her will. The “hero” recuses her in a group – for ransom. When he later finds out that she does not have the money she offered – she has to pay twice. Once for lying to him (that requires a beating with bundles of birch sticks) and once for the ransom he should have received (he’ll take her virginity for that, thank you very much).

This beginning set the tone for an eyeball rolling experience. There was no real tension in the book. No character building or anything. Lots of Mary/Marty Sues to go around.

The “I love you’s” started at about ½ the way through the book…so it was also a bit boring. There was just a bunch of excuses to spank the heroine. Now, I don’t have a problem with spanking….but dang! Can it be a little less silly?? The ending was pretty much expected so the plot device used to cause tension for the “big mistake” at the end was…pffffft.


To be honest, it reminded me a lot of [b:He Calls Her Jasmine|6973875|He Calls Her Jasmine|Ann Jacobs|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1262545123s/6973875.jpg|7213997].… (mer)

“Lady prisoner is freed from dungeon by dashing Lord”

Lady Rosalind Hamilton’s family home was invaded by a horrible villain, Sir William who proceeds to kill her whole family and take her prisoner. When she refuses to submit to the murderer, he tries all sorts of means to entice Rosalind to become his wife. After she rejects his bribes, he resorts to forcing her to work in the laundry rooms. When that fails to persuade her, he throws her in the family dungeon hoping to get her to change her mind.

Lord Jeoffrey Blaisdell arrives one night to rescue some other prisoners but in all the confusion hears a faint voice pleading for freedom. Rosalind offers him a ransom if he will release her from her imprisonment. When they arrive at his home, he learns that Rosalind has no money to pay the ransom. His solution to the dilemma is a night in his...bedchamber.

This story is well written and believable. You get caught up in the characters and the development of their romance. Honor is a strong theme throughout this tale.… (mer)
