Lady Madelaine through the past years has suffered greatly at the hands of her brother, and has finally planned her escape from him. But on the day that plans on leaving her brother captures Baron Duncan of Wexton. And through a small act of kindness, an act that could have gotten her killed, she rescues him from being frozen to death, and even though Duncan knew his men were scaling the walls, in effort to locate the one woman who has landed right in his lap for the taking as revenge for whatThe book was enjoyable but I thought it was nothing all that special. There are some humorous parts (like how she keeps going on about being a "gentle lady" and a "gentle maiden") but, other than a few things here and there, it was just OK. I felt that the book jumped around a lot, skipping some scenes and days. I was really thrown off by how quickly Adela went from hating Madelyne, hurling insults at her and threatening to kill her, to them being dear friends in no time at all! The POV changes

How ever good the stroy was, how great the characters were, the best thing in this whole book was the writing. I don't remember the last time I
Reread!!Another 6 star rating if possible.I forgot how much I loved these two together. Madelyne and Duncan's love story was beautiful, sweet, full of chemistry and sexy. Such an incredible love story.I miss the medieval romances, we need more like this one. The writing was excellent and beautiful. What a wonderful storyline. I will definitely be reading this one again and again.
OMG OMG OMG I'm having a #fangirlin moment right now. Maybe later, I'll write more about the book but now OMG wohooo my mind is spinning!!! hahaha listen to me girls, you have to meet Duncan. Mark my words... You MUST meet him. Oh God help me, I think I lost my mind. See you later. :)
I think I will stick to Kleypas and Quinn. First of all, that period of history is not my favorite, I didn't care for the language or the conversations, it felt forced and fake somehow... like the insufferable Lady Madelyne kept saying about herself: "She was a good, gentle lady." Who speaks this way? I prefer good conversations even in historical romance books, a bit of wit and a good laugh are needed as well. I will hold my judgement until I finish the book, I hope it picks up.Now that I
I have to say, I have yet to read a Julie Garwood novel that I don't love, but there was something special about Honor's Splendour that makes it stand out in my mind and has made it one of my favorite reads.Garwood's books feature women who, though they might not know it at the time, are strong, honorable, compassionate and very wise. Watching them come into their own is such an enjoyable experience.The same can be said for the men of her novels. They are usually gruff, arrogant and very set in
