![]() I don’t normally leave reviews, but this story was just so frustrating with its character building/development and direction. But in marriage to Hugh Fauconier, she meets her match in strength and seduction. In 12th-century England, Isabelle of Langston rules her family lands with an iron hand. I only finished this book for completionist sakes. The bestselling author of 'The Love Slave' and creator of the legendary Skye OMalley conjures a passionate new novel of magical enchantment starring a bold new heroine. And even that for ended with basically it will never be forgiven because double standards. Bell shows amazing courage as she marries a total stranger. Also the last bits of the book were frustratingly illogical and felt forced just to create an obstacle between the couple after all they both did to survive. Amazing, that I would be such a Bertrice Small fan, and hadnt read this wonderful novel yet. Also without spoiling anything, the magic stuff is resolved so uneventfully and without any actual action from either of the protagonists. It very much reads as if it was started with one intention then at some point a new story idea was thought of and so the books tone changes from a typical historical romance to a dark fantasy romance with magic. Some of the logic of the characters and the book just didn’t make sense at times and probably about half way through I had to come back and read the books description because I had no idea where this story way going. Also so many of the obstacles in the book are quickly and easily overcome without much effort. ![]() She admits to being afraid of her fathers abuse but takes up for him time and time again.
