The first book (Winter's Heat) covered the entertaining relationship between Rowena of Benfield and Rannulf of Graistan. This book covers the relationship of Philippa of Lindhurst, Rowena's bastard half-sister (sister by another mister, even) and Temric, Rannulf's bastard half brother (yep, brother by another mother). I found lots of things in this book giggle worthy, but I'm not sure it was intentional (brother by another mother/sister by another mister match, incest vs incest etc.). Where the first book went well, I thought this one didn't. They had the battered/damaged woman ripe for the picking by a gentle man of honor kind of thing, which had to happen at some point in the series I suppose (being the stock of most romance novels). We also had the OMG-Undying-Wuv! immediately for no good reason. I am not a fan. Philippa is married to a rather abusive minor lord, whereas Temric has to come to terms with his bastardy birth and being trapped between being a commoner and noble. To save his love he'll have to shed the nobility he has become accustomed to and try to live the life as a merchant with his mother. Philippa is, of course, damaged and trying to come to terms with *her* life, growing stronger and more spirited through the novel. I liked the historical flavor, I think Domning does it very well. I loved that the match could not legally happen because of their "incestuous relationship" (through half siblings in marriage) while In the end, it all ends well, because that's why we read these fluffy books. It is total fluff, but if that's what you want, it's great for that. I think this book really need to be read after Winter's Heat. This series is very much linear and you need the first book to really understand the relationships going on in the second. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In a world where folk are either common or noble, Temric FitzHenry, bastard of Graistan, is neither and both. Only too late does he meet his equal, Philippa of Lindurst, also a bastard raised to noble expectations; Philippa is already married. When Temric discovers the abuse Philippa endures, his heart demands that he steal her from her husband. As he does so, he promises that shell never know pain with him. Philippa cherishes each day she spends with him, knowing her husband will someday find them and they will die. If Temric is ever to be truly hers, Philippa must find the courage to defy death and escape a heritage that makes her love of Temric the deepest of sins. Set in the late twelfth century, Summers Storm takes place in the time of King Richard the Lionheart and Robin Hood. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
