Prigioniera del cavaliere

by Meriel Fuller

Inghilterra, 1453.
Con il paese sull'orlo dell'anarchia, Bastien de la Roche, prode cavaliere al servizio del Duca di York, è pronto a qualsiasi sacrificio pur di riportare la pace nelle proprie terre. Così, quando cattura la giovane e intraprendente Alice Matravers e scopre che lei è una dama di corte, usa tutto il proprio fascino per convincerla a procurargli un'udienza con Re Enrico. In realtà, la graziosa fanciulla non è affatto docile come lui aveva immaginato, e si rivela anzi una vera sfida. Anche se, sotto l'apparente fierezza, nasconde anche un grande coraggio e un'infinita dolcezza. Ma queste sue qualità basteranno a ridare vita al cuore inaridito di Bastien?

About the author

Meriel Fuller spent her early childhood with her nose buried in books. After school, she would walk to the town library where her mother was head librarian and happily read her way through the historical romance section. Her love of the past comes from her father, a keen amateur historian who took Meriel and her sister on long hikes searching for ruined castles and medieval villages.

Meriel went on to study English literature at Edinburgh University where she met her husband who was, literally, her knight in shining armor. Breaking her ankle at a party, her future husband gallantly carried her to the hospital and kept her company as her foot was put into plaster. Eight years after they first met, they were married in rural Dorset. Although Meriel has written as a hobby throughout her life, it was only when her youngest child was a toddler that she decided to write a historical romance. She was thrilled when Harlequin told her that her manuscript would be published: a real dream come true!

Reviews

[Mnms · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's a very action-oriented if somewhat naive story. It has a good dose of modern values, but fortunately not enough to ruin the mood.

[Pauline · Rating 3 out of 5]

Juste dommage !
Une très belle histoire, des personnages bien construit, une tension sexuelle plus que palpable tout au long du livre mais ... rien !
L'auteur fait monter la tension de manière admirable pour aboutir sur quelques baisés et une scène d'amour plutôt chaste ...
Un bon moment quand même

[Jennifer · Rating 2 out of 5]

Unr omance peu crédible, avec une histoire non abouti, et qui ne ravira aucune amatrice de roman passion tant la passion est absente.
Une déception
