This almost became one of my favorite HRs of all time. The characters were wonderful, the story engaging with unexpected plot turns that kept it interesting. I especially loved that there was no deceit, lies etc. coming between the H/H as so often is the case. Jacqueline (heroine) is honest, kind and forthright with just enough fire to make her interesting. Angus (hero), a knight, is honorable and strong yet tender. So why not 5 stars? Jacqueline states her love for Angus numerous times with th

Still stuck reading what's in a family member's attic.
On the one hand, it seems she did a good job (as best I can tell) researching Crusades vocabulary terms. There was at least a semblance of a plot, though any characteristic, physical or personality wise, was mentioned about 14 times, as though the author didn't totally believe that anyone would pay attention to the plot because they'd be skipping to the sex.

I did love this book. It had all the action and adventure elements that I enjoy, a sweet and compelling love story, and finally, a happy ending.
I found our scarred hero and beautiful heroine equally likeable. I'm a complete sucker for the wounded/battle scarred warrior, and Angus definitely fit the bill.
Completely enjoyable read -- 4.5 stars.
I'm excited to read more from Claire Delacroix.

I liked this book not only for the story line, but the characters. The difference about this book though is that it is about a scarred character and his "revenge". I liked this story a lot.

This was my first by Delacroix. I love Medieval romance, so she's off to a good start, and I like the way she used somewhat dated language to keep reminding us of the period, though it called attention to itself now and again. The characters were strong and the relationship was good. I liked the fact that my emotions were drawn into it by the end, though I felt a little "played" as well. This wasn't a favorite, but I'll pick up another by this author if I come across one.

This is a reread for me. I love this story... another Beauty and the Beast theme. Hero is a knight who wants his property back and abducts the heroine on her way to the convent. They share a bond and grow together. He is scared from his time in the crusades and she finds him beautiful anyway. An excellent and humorous read.
