Set in an England and Normandy divided by war, Splendor is the thrilling tale of Lady Catherine, supposed to be married into a perfect union but instead kidnapped by a mysterious knight. Bound by love to this enigma whose loyalties make him a traitor and whose passion makes her feel cherished, Catherine knows that one day she must flee his embrace. . .
Now I know why some of the 'newer' readers thrashed my beloved Judith McNaughts' books haha.
Maybe if I read this during my younger years, I will be impressed (at the time I loved every stories that came my way 😜). Everlasting was one of my earliest HR and also one of my favorite. I searched for this title for so long.
Reading this now, I just couldn't connect with the story. I know that the hero and heroin should be exceptional, but too much praise in their beauties just turned me off. I tried to justified the actions, but my mind kept thinking, what if, what if. The supposedly splendor of their love was superceded by the more obvious lust.
20 years and more than a thousand books later really changed how I view a love story.
