Siniestro y temible, con el pelo tan negro como la noche y los ojos del color el ámbar, Hugh el Impacable hacÃa honor a su apodo. HabÃa buscado durante mucho tiempo, sin éxito, la mágica piedra que le permitirÃa el acceso a su nueva propiedad. Al enterarse de que la piedra se encuentra en poder de Lady Alice, intenta acercarse a ella con el fin de lograr sus propósito. Lady Alice, una joven experta en alejar pretendientes, advierte las intenciones ocultas de sir Hugh y sabe que él estallará de ira al enterarse de que la piedra ya no está en sus manos. Pero aún le quedan sus poderes para detectar el cristal, y aprovechará esa circunstancia para liberarse y liberar a su hermano del dominio de su malvado tÃo. A fun historical romp that has a mystery attached. Strong female (Alice) finds a stone with a legend attached and wants to study it, strong male (Hugh) wants it to fulfil the legend, they team up to find the stone. He's relentless and strong, she's clever, red-headed and stuborn. It's clever, fun and an easy read. I particularly liked where she had a book of healing recipies but the author avoids telling us exactly what was used (excepting a potion with poppies that another character was using and there is some tutting) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:A tantalizing tale of a legendary knight and a headstrong lady whose daring quest for a mysterious crystal will draw them into a whirlwind of treacheryâ??and desire. When the fearsome knight called Hugh the Relentless swept into Lingwood Manor like a storm, everyone coweredâ??except Lady Alice. Sharp-tongued and unrepentant, the flame haired beauty believed Sir Hugh was not someone to dread but the answer to her dreams. She knew he had come for the dazzling green crystal, knew he would be displeased to find that it was no longer in her possession. Yet Alice had a proposition for the dark and forbidding knight: In return for a dowry that would free Alice and her brother from their uncle's grasp, she would lend her powers of detection to his warrior's skills and together they would recover his treasured stone. But even as Hugh accepted her terms, he added a condition of his own: Lady Alice must agree to a temporary betrothalâ??one that would soon draw her deep into Hugh's great stone fortress, and into a battle that could threaten their lives...and their only chance Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

This book is a great read for many reasons: if you love Medieval romances that aren't gritty or violent, if you love girl power and women banding together, and if you prefer a sense of realism over magical intervention. This book is just delightful from beginning to end as the heroine proves to actually be intelligent without rude, capable, and reasonable while the hero proves to be sensitive and caring with only the trappings of a brute. Quick is a skilled writer, and this book can perfectly satisfy your craving for a happy ending. ( )
