I felt as though I traveled back to medieval Ireland when I read this book, which is definitely a plus for this history buff. Ireland in the Norman conquest is an under-utilized setting. I felt as though I learned some things about the ancient Irish, which is always good, especially when the lesson comes in an enjoyable story.

Ireland in the Norman conquest is an under-utilized setting. I felt as though I learned some things about the ancient Irish, which is always good, especially when the lesson comes in an enjoyable story.

Storyline:
Bevan is a man who lost much of what he loved in his life. His beloved daughter dead from fever, and his wife burned to death in a Norman raid. And his land appropriated by some of the Norman invaders. He is determined to take his keep and lands back, and that’s how he meets Genevieve. Genevieve is on the run from her betrothed, a man who beats and abuses her physically. She has smuggled missives back to her father in England, but she can’t wait any longer to be rescued, sure that Hugh will kill her or rape her soon. She begs the rough-looking Irish warrior she encounters to save her, but he walks away (he is afraid he will endanger his mission and his men). Later on, he breaks into the keep (having determined he will help the woman), and is captured. Genevieve helps to free him, and gets a beating from her betrothed for her trouble, which Bevan reacts to by beating up Sir Hugh. Her only choice is to flee with the Irish warrior.

Bevan has no desire for another woman, even one as beautiful and as brave as Genevieve, although she is one of the hated Normans. He buried his heart with his beloved wife Fiona, and he is determined to remain true to her. But he cannot stand to see a woman be beaten. Bevan asserts that no honorable Irishman would lay a hand on a woman, and it’s just another reason to despise the Normans. He offers her safe passage back to England to her parents, although Genevieve fears that Bevan will fight against her father and his men, for the keep that is now her dowry.

Bevan is the brother of one of the kings of Ireland. There is a high king and smaller kings (probably what would be considered a duke or lesser peer in England). His brother, King Patrick, has determined to make a marriage alliance with Genevieve’s family. Bevan ends up between a rock and a hard place, especially when England’s King Henry and the High King of Ireland agree to the match. Either that or the evil Sir Hugh will gain his lands and Genevieve as his wife, and will surely kill her with his brutality. Genevieve agrees to the marriage, even knowing that Bevan cannot love her the way she wishes, and does not want a real marriage with her, only the alliance. However, Bevan cannot keep her heart closed to the loving, courageous woman he married.

My thoughts on this story:
I had mixed feelings about Bevan. He was a very honorable man, capable of loving very deeply. I truly respected his faithfulness to his wife. You don’t see that many heroes who remain devoted to their departed spouses the way he does. However, I wish he hadn’t taken so long to open his heart to Genevieve. It’s clear that she is a really good woman for him, and his younger brother Ewan actually thinks she’s more devoted and loves him more than Fiona ever did. This is one of those books where the character has this false perfect image of their past spouse that the hero or heroine has to break past. It made me sad how Bevan hurt Genevieve again and again by pushing her away. Initially, Genevieve is afraid of men after how Hugh beat her and hurt her, but Bevan is kind and takes care of her so well, that he works his way into her heart. Now Genevieve has to break down the walls around Bevan’s heart, and show him that he can love again.

This was a good book. I found myself sucked in from the beginning. Genevieve and Bevan had excellent chemistry. I found Hugh to be a despicable villain, and I wanted him to get his just deserts, after seeing him beating and hurting Genevieve the way he did. I was afraid that her father would take Hugh’s side, but fortunately, he didn’t, standing by his daughter and believing her when she said Hugh was abusing her. I can’t imagine a father who would willingly let his daughter get abused by a man, so I was glad Genevieve’s father wasn’t like that.

I enjoyed this book. I liked reading about medieval Ireland, which had some customs and ways of looking at things that were distinct from England at this time. I liked both of the characters. The romance between Genevieve and Bevan was engaging, and I felt their emotional struggles and anguish. It was good to see Bevan grow to acknowledge his feelings for Genevieve and make those gestures she badly needed. He had to learn that his love for Fiona didn’t have to close his heart to loving again. I’m looking forward to reading about the other MacEgan brothers, particularly Ewan. I have a feeling he’s going to grow up to be quite a warrior. It should be interesting to see the woman he ends up with.

My Review

I really enjoyed this book! Bevan MacEgan is a wonderful character, though I wanted to smack him upside the head when he wouldn’t let go of the memory of his dead wife, Fiona, who was killed during a Norman attack. But it was refreshing to see a man remain faithful to his beloved and not fall instantly in love with the story's heroine. He fought his feelings for Genevieve - feelings he never expected to have for a woman again, which made him mourn Fiona's death all the more. By giving i ...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. When Bevan MacEgan's beloved wife and daughter died, he swore he'd never marry again adn remain faithful to his wife's memory. While attempting to gain back his land, Bevan is taken prisoner by Hugh Marstowe, a Norman lord betrothed to the daughter of the Norman who now controls Bevan's land. He sees Hugh beating and abusing his betrothed, Genevieve, and can't stand it. When she offers to rescue him if she can escape with him, he accepts, willing to protect even the hated Norman enemy.

Initially, it seems she'll return to England to be with her family. But Genevieve's dowry is the land that Bevan wants returned to him and Genevieve insists that if she returns to her parents, Hugh will find a way to get to her. The only solution, it seems, is marriage. The High King and Genevieve's father agree and Bevan is coerced into marrying a woman he's coming to love and is definitely attracted to, but from whom he needs to maintain his distance if he's to keep his vow. Genevieve wants Bevan's heart, not his attachment to a dead wife. But what can she do?

This was a good, solid story. I typically don't like romances where the main character pines for and constantly thinks of a formerly living beloved, because it makes me think of the other main lead as only second best. Fortunately, this story throws a wrench in the works that really takes care of that (and which I didn't see coming). There is pretty much no doubt by the end of this that Genevieve is Bevan's first choice, but I really like that she didn't let him off the hook once she thought he'd made his choice...that she made him state it clearly. That being said, Bevan still did spend way too much of this book thinking of the lovely Fiona instead of Genevieve...and his reasons for treating her like crap for a good part of the story were a mishmash - she was Norman, she was attractive and tempting, she "owned" his land, she was causing him to forget Fiona, etc. There was an awful lot of him rejecting her and sending mixed signals and being overall hot and cold with the heroine. This author's heroes have PMS worse than I do. But I did enjoy this on the whole and will likely be continuing the series. ...more

I really want to give this book a one star rating, because the more I read on, the more I disliked the lead characters Bevan and Genevieve.

The book itself is not bad. The tension held on well for the first 60%. Bevan, a widower, was frustrating as the hero. His obsession over his first wife Fiona really bothered me. I am rarely bothered by assholey or boorish behaviors of men in romance stories. Most of the time their actions speak louder than words. As long as I can be convinced of their true I really want to give this book a one star rating, because the more I read on, the more I disliked the lead characters Bevan and Genevieve.

I am rarely bothered by assholey or boorish behaviors of men in romance stories. Most of the time their actions speak louder than words. As long as I can be convinced of their true feelings, it matters not to me what they say, even if they say really outrageous things.

But Bevan oh Bevan I wanted to kick him. I don't know why Michelle Willingham wrote him this way. This guy is so obviously not over his first wife. If you want to have a widower as a hero, he has to be at least like Sir Ross Cannon in Lady Sophia's Lover. He doesn't need to have an unhappy first marriage, but I find it distasteful how Bevan held on to Fiona's memories and held them against Genevieve.

And Genevieve, I have nothing against her character. But I also wanted to kick her because, woman, can you not see that this man is still grieving his wife? Why would you want to "win his heart"? If you have to "win" him, you are the loser. Matters of the heart are like this. It either happens or does not happen. As I read on I became more and more furious at Genevieve. Can you not think of other people's pains except for your desires and longings? If he chose to live in the past, what right do you have to tell him otherwise? Genevieve married Bevan, promising that they would live separate lives. Then she changed her mind, all of a sudden. No no why wouldn't Bevan love her? She was jealous but at the same time oh she could not help but want him. I don't know how to describe my disgust. Take it or leave it, woman. You made your bed, now lie in it. All the useless whining is humiliating.

And the plots. Man I did not see that coming. (view spoiler)

I mean their actions just don't make sense to me. Why would Genevieve tolerate Bevan's obsession over Fiona and why would Bevan held on to Fiona for as long as he did? It was infuriating to say the least.

I really must mention another fact that bothered me about Genevieve. Bevan refused to consummate the marriage because he vowed to remain faithful to Fiona. So what does our Genevieve do? She went around holding babies and looking at them longing for one for her own. I mean the sentiment is easily understood, but woman, have you not chosen this yourself? What is the point of lamenting something of your own doing? If anything, Bevan did not bring this on you. You did this to yourself, to want love from a man who cannot love you.

Ah I wanted to give this book 3 stars. But after writing this review I despised the lead characters too much. It really is a shame because the story was interesting itself. Alas, I find Bevan and Genevieve 2 outrageously unlikable characters. I truly dislike both of them. Bevan's brothers though seem much more tolerable. I shall move on from Bevan and Genevieve. Rarely do I encounter a couple like them in romance stories. I had a mind to break their fictional necks. ...more

Michelle Willingham’s debut novel for Harlequin Historicals is a passionate tale of divided loyalties and a fierce battle for daily existence. The novel is set in the aftermath of the Norman Conquest and explores the hatred that existed between the Norman conquerors and the native Irish who did everything in their power to repel the invaders. Into this backdrop is woven a story of romance between Bevan, the Irish hero, who is a tough and battle-scarred warrior and Genevieve, a Norman lady whose ...more

My two stars is rounded up from a bare 1.5.

Lo único que me gustó un poco fue el final y el epílogo. ... narrado en tercera persona y ofrece varios puntos de vista de los personajes. ambos debían de superar o enfrentarse a su pasado, pero no hablaban entre ellos para ayudarse; Fiona es un personaje que no me gustó.

Irish warrior Bevan MacEgan has sworn to fight the Norman enemy and regain his castle Rionallis after he had witnessed the death of his wife two years before.

I really enjoyed Bevan's love for his first wife, and the struggle with his evolving feelings for Genevieve. I thought this provided great tension throughout the book.

Willingham's writing is strong and poignant throughout, which makes it so enjoyable to keep re-reading.
