Reader Review: Adrienne de Simone is suddenly transported from present day to the 16th century and informed she’s about to be married. Her fiancé? Sidheach (Hawk) James Lyon Douglas, the laird of Dalkeith. She has no idea how she came to be in another century and is extremely unhappy about being betrothed. Hawk is being forced into marriage by the current King James, whose mission is to torment him, and he’s just as unhappy about the situation. However, he soon finds out that Adrienne is not the woman he thought she would be and he sets out to win her heart. I enjoyed the story and both Adrienne and Hawk. While she could be frequently irritating because of her decision to be less than forthcoming with Hawk, Adrienne’s behavior made sense when you considered all she was being asked to face. Hawk was an extremely appealing character with a great sense of humor and deliciously drawn. His devotion to Adrienne was admirable, considering his past and that he was forced into the relationship. There are lots of other secondary characters that help make this a more full bodied story, including the dastardly smithy, Adam Black who becomes a wedge between Adrienne and Hawk. I know we’ll see more of him in the series, as we should! If you’ve read the Fever series, you’ll recognize some of the references to characters (including Adam) and the Fae world. However, the similarities end there as this story doesn’t have the level of fantasy or mythology found in that series. But, it holds its own as a good paranormal, historical romance. I’m looking forward to continuing the series.
He would sell his warrior soul to possess her. . . .
An alluring laird...
He was known throughout the kingdom as Hawk, legendary predator of the battlefield and the boudoir. No woman could refuse his touch, but no woman ever stirred his heart—until a vengeful fairy tumbled Adrienne de Simone out of modern-day Seattle and into medieval Scotland. Captive in a century not her own, entirely too bold, too outspoken, she was an irresistible challenge to the sixteenth-century rogue. Coerced into a marriage with Hawk, Adrienne vowed to keep him at arm's length—but his sweet seduction played havoc with her resolve.
A prisoner in time...
She had a perfect "no" on her perfect lips for the notorious laird, but Hawk swore she would whisper his name with desire, begging for the passion he longed to ignite within her. Not even the barriers of time and space would keep him from winning her love. Despite her uncertainty about following the promptings of her own passionate heart, Adrienne's reservations were no match for Hawk's determination to keep her by his side. . . .
From the Paperback edition.

Reviewer: A reader from PORT MOODY, BC, BC CAN
Being dropped into 16th century Scotland is nobody's idea of a good time, that includes Adrienne. Hawk is a fierce warrior that does not trust Adrienne or believe her tale of being from the future. They have a turbulent romance with outside forces interfering and trying to separate the two. I loved watching Adrienne grow stronger in her fight for Hawk and reading about hawk's conflicting emotions made me believe in the romance. A very good read.
