The Flight of the Golden Hawk
He needed her - for practical purposes!
Like a bolt of lightning, Fier Cailloux changed Kyle's life, summoning her to act as hostess at his isolated Rocky Mountain resort in Canada.
He was a dangerous, imperious man, but Kyle had no choice. She left England reluctantly, knowing it would be a battle all the way, with no possible compromise.
Later, Kyle wanted neither the battle nor the compromise. Heartbroken and frightened, she wanted Fier to love her - with passion and depth, the way she loved him....

A hot, nonsensical mess. There’s a heap of the (usually sexist) HR tropes so rampant in the 80s/90s thrown in with a jumbled plot, and the illogical musings of an insecure, doormat h.
In particular, the author succeeds in upholding the following universal ‘Harlequin truths’:
- The more beautiful you are, the more you deserve to be loved, and can coast through life never being accountable for your actions;
- A good h must at all times tolerate and enable the worst behaviour of her siblings and relations, especially when it comes to giving up her salary/savings (god forbid that family member should have to maintain a job and live within their means);
- if you’re a beautiful, spoiled sibling, under no circumstances should you have a comeuppance. Instead, the Harlequin gods shall reward you for a lifetime of shitty behaviour;
- Alpha Hs must always have an innate ability to order perfectly-fitting clothes, sight unseen, for the women in their lives;
- A low-cut dress (ok, sure, throw in some lipstick and a haircut) is all you need to turn an otherwise ugly duckling into a swan (a pity this h didn’t also wear glasses);
- A H is permitted to treat the h as roughly as he likes, but with few exceptions, he shall be sweet and generous to the OW, especially if she is beautiful and/or a relation of the h. (If she threatens his business, he can be a little harsh);
-Finally, communication is overrated. Better to impute the other MCs thoughts and feelings than to actually use your words.
The one redeeming point in the story was the H immediately saw through the h’s brow-beaten exterior and recognized she should be ‘saved’ from her relations, though he went about this saving the wrong way.

Un historia algo confusa, que bueno no se en que momento encaja el amor entre tanta confusión.
