Summary: If you like pushy...............
Comment: You'll love the heroine of this book. I didn't. I found the story severely disappointing, particularly since I'd so thoroughly enjoyed everything I'd read by Ms. McGregor both under this name and under Sherrilyn Kenyon. In fact her book, 'Fantasy Lover' is my favorite romance novel ever. This one, however, landed in my trashcan around the time I reached page 90. The hero was sympathetic but dreary and repetitious; the heroine was spritely and sparkly but not very bright. And abominably intrusive. The supporting cast with the exception of the hero's brother is lackluster. The writing felt forced. I don't think even the author liked this one much.

Summary: A diverting tale of wills
Comment: Lady Emily dreams of her great love, the man who will come claim, her husband. All she wants is a man who will love and cherish her. But as the daughter of an English Lord, fate deals her a different hand. Draven de Montague, Earl of Ravenswood comes for Emily, but not as she assumes, as the man of her dreams. A Famous night who intimidates everyone, he has come to kidnap her! At the orders of the King, he comes to steal Emily, hold her for a year in order to stop the two houses from continuing their bloody feud. Despite his plans, Emily is determined she knows the right of it and he will marry her and they will live happily ever after.
A faint touch of purple prose mars the effort. It's well balanced with angst and humour in proper portions, but the characters just seemed a wee bit two-dimensional.
Still a wonderful read, and showing she has a voice in historical romances that just keeps improving.

Summary: Very disappointed with this one...
Comment: I am normally a big fan of Kinley MacGregor books, but this one was such a huge let down. I felt that the characters were weak and the chemistry b/n the love leads was severely lacking. I kept rolling my eyes everytime I read something along the lines of "I can never have her, but there's just something about her, but I will not allow myself to succomb to my desires." blah,blah,blah... After reading this basic sentiment for the 20th time, I was thoroughly bored. I was never attached to the characters or yearned for them to come together. I won't be completely negative though, I enjoyed the scene that took place at the Lincoln Fair, but that's about it.
