Madeline Hunter no seu melhor! Acho que não poderei dizer muito mais que isto em relação a este livro. Tenho todos os livros desta autora que saíram até hoje em Portugal e apesar de ainda não ter lido todos adoro a forma como ela escreve e nos puxa para dentro dos seus livros, adoro principalmente os seus “bad boys”, homens fortes, rígidos, playboys, e com uma honra um pouco duvidosa, mas que perante a mulher certa conseguem transformar-se no príncipe encantado de qualquer uma de nós. Em relação More...

Mais uma vez, Madeline Hunter coloca um homem e uma mulher como inimigos. Talvez seja essa a arma secreta para o sucesso dos seus romances, talvez o carácter erótico que está sempre presente, o que é certo é que resulta.
Desta vez, a autora transporta-nos para o século XIV, junto à fronteira escocesa onde Lady Reyna vai dar de caras com o inimigo. A sua missão é atraí-lo, em jeito de sedução, para nessa mesma noite, o matar. Só que, primeiro que tudo, o homem de quem anda à procura não se en More...

Em pleno século XIV nas muralhas de um castelo à beira da conquista, em lados opostos de uma batalha perdida, um homem e uma mulher faram de tudo para não perder o único bem precioso e de que jamais abdicarão, a sua honra e o seu coração.

Mil Noites de Paixão remete-nos para uma época em que a instabilidade era constante e a procura pela felicidade, assim como o conceito de amor, não passavam de um mito. Os homens, esses, davam a vida pela sua dignidade e às mulheres restavas-lhe resgua More...

3.5 Stars. Well, the first line hooked me:
"Be sure he drinks the wine before he gets your clothes off."

It's the summer of 1357, and though Scotland is officially under English rule, the English lords are still having trouble bringing their subjects to heel. Lady Reyna Graham's home, Black Lyne Keep, is under siege, and Reyna, a young widow stuck inside with people who believe she murdered her much older husband, is desperate to get out. She's concocted a plan to assa More...

Lord of a Thousand Nights - G
Madeline Hunter
Lady Reyna, the daring Scottish widow of Robert of Kelso, becomes the pawn in a high-stakes game involving land, wealth and power when Ian Guilford, a notorious English mercenary allied with Morvan Fitzwaryn (the hero from Hunter's The Protector), lays siege to her keep. In a misguided attempt to save her people, Reyna visits Ian dressed as a courtesan, intending to seduce and kill him. Instead, she unwittingly aids him in overtaking her ho More...

This was my second.. maybe third romance novel i had ever read in my entire life the first was Return Engagement, the second was Blow Me Down and this was the third.

I must say, all romance novels are the same and the third time was hell. (After this I read the Chalice and the Blade and i don't even know how i finished that one).

It makes very mad that the girls in most novels can't do anything and just depend and "cling" to their extremely good looking, handsome More...

Classificação- 3.5 estrelas

Adorei o conflito constante e a luta entre vontades de Reyna e Ian. Aliás, Madeline Hunter tem vindo a criar, cada vez mais, personagens de carácter intenso e aguerrido. Facto este que vai de encontro aos meus gostos pessoais.

Este livro lembrou-me um pouco do "Protetor" (vai na mesma onda e o enredo base é um pouco semelhante), mas nas últimas páginas foi-se tornando cada vez mais romanceado e "cor-de-rosa" e menos de época.

MH can be a hit or miss for me, but this one was a hit and I thought well wrote. It was fun story and I thought that the h/h made a perfect couple. The only fly in the ointment was that the ending was too fast....but isn't it always.

This book improved upon second reading several months after the initial purchase, and so I have bumped it up from two to three stars. It was the second book I read in the Medieval series, and it is advantageous to have read the others first. That said, I feel it suffers from a) a wretched title and forced refrain thereof and 2) a pair of leads who are alternately blindly dense and then suddenly magically insightful (the dude particularly). He seems to just guess right more often than I believe h More...

Really a 3.5 for me. I got sort of lost and confused and bored with the other plot stuff going on. Otherwise the romance was nice between Reyna and Ian.

Lady Reyna disguises herself as a courtesan in order to kill Ian, an invader trying to claim her castle.

Strange at times, but an OK read.

I felt this started a bit slower than others of Hunter's that I've read, but once it picked up, I really enjoyed it!
