Resumen del Editor

From New York Times best-selling author 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....

Contains mature themes.

Not the best but good

I liked the book; I didn’t love the book. The main male character for most of it was either angry or very angry or in lust. Of course, he wouldn’t talk about it and kept secrets. The female lead was strong, hardworking, dedicated, etc. His character needed to be more dimensional instead of angry or in lust. She needed to listen to the promises she makes to herself. The ending was too fast as in time to wind this up, how many ties are we working with? And what happened to Moira at the end? And then we have a narrator with the questioning English accent which I dislike.

Most unlikable MMC ever!

Also most ineffective hero ever. No way a sane woman falls in love with a man like that. I found some details in the story a little far fetched like when the women go about digging the grave and fixing the roof all in the middle of a horrible snowstorm! Not my fav book by this author.

Good story, different!

Moira made me laugh, loved her intuition and maturity for a 13 yr old! Pleasance was smart but still down to earth.

Never A Dull Moment

The story line was great! There were some funny moments, heartbreaking moments, lots of stubbornness and hardheaded moments. It proves that men and women can be so stubborn. Never assume what other people think and feel, I loved this story!!!

Enjoyed it

I enjoyed the book, but it was a little predictable at times. I think the way the narration of the main male character made him sound rougher than intended. Main female character was way too weak of character, but that is the way life is.

Really enjoyed

I enjoyed the story. I did feel really annoyed with the Scott and how far he went to try to punish pleasants. Narrator did a really good job, loved the accents.

Nice and engaging story

I loved the story even though I shy from stories based in America in general. It was engaging and captivating.

Good story

The female lead started out as weak but evolved as the story went forward and discovered her voice. The treatment from her family, with the excception of none brother, was horrendous, and she shouldn't have felt any loyalty. The male lead was stubbornly focused on his bruised ego. Eventually, he got it together, and the story progressed well as the two grew together. Overall, it's a good book. Narrator did a good job.

Great!!

The story was fun to listen to. I liked the characters and the narrator did a good job.

Great

This is a wonderful story! Enjoy the characters and Ruth Urquhart the reader.. wishing for a fallow up on this family.
