Il lupo e la rosa

Medieval Brides #1

by Margo Maguire

Inghilterra, 1241 - Che cosa può volere Re Enrico V da una fanciulla nata e cresciuta nel lontano Northumberland e della quale nessuno ha mai sentito parlare? È quello che si chiede Wolfram Colston, a cui è stato affidato l'incarico di scortarla a Londra, alla corte di Westminster. Ed è quello che si domanda anche lei, Kathryn Somers, che nonostante i maltrattamenti del patrigno ha un buon motivo per restare a casa sua. Gli ordini del sovrano, tuttavia, non si discutono, e i due giovani si mettono in viaggio. Prima di arrivare nella capitale, però, Wolfram ha una missione da compiere. Una missione che potrebbe mettere in pericolo la sua vita e quella di Kathryn.

About the author

As a nice, sane break from the drama and fast pace of working as a registered nurse in an intensive care unit, Margo Maguire returned to college to study history, and fell in love. Writing about the historical characters she encountered in her classes was a good way to unwind from a crazy day in the unit. She soon started creating her own fictional characters and putting them into historical settings.

Margo is the author of twenty historical romance novels. Her books have been published in numerous languages, and have even come out in Japan as manga—animated books. She is the mother of three grown children and lives with her scientist husband in southern Michigan.

Reviews

[Rainelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ok, I was surprised by this book. Lately it has been hit or miss with the Harlequin books. This book was a good quick read. As usual there was murder, suspense, and action with some steamy live scenes. Both main characters, Kit and Wolf are strong characters that carried the plot from beginning to end in the book.
Having two villains in the book, I thought was a good twist. My fellow readers this would be a good book to read over the holidays vacation. Happy reading.

I enjoyed this book. It kept my interest from beginning to end. I wasn't tempted to read ahead because the story moved along and wasn't constantly repeating itself. I would read it again somewhere down the road.

A trama não é ruim, a ideia de dois vilões surpreendeu nesse gênero.

Só que a heroína reclama demais... haja paciência.
