Wildsong
In the embrace of a passionate enemy, one woman challenges her heritage and dares to listen to the song in her heart. . . .
Drawn by a haunting melody, Sir Brian Devereux, knight of the realm, leaves the cold stone walls of Ballymorna Castle in search of the strange music that stirs his dreams. Into the lush Irish countryside he discovers an emerald-eyed temptress playing her harp.
From the moment they gaze at each other, their eyes lock in silent combat. Ceara Brennan knows that this man is the English king's warrior sent from across the sea to break the spirit of her people. And Brian knows that to touch the lovely Irish Ceara is forbidden. But the temptation is too much to resist. . . .
Surrendering to a Celtic passion beyond her control, Ceara is possessed in body, in spirit, and in marriage by her greatest enemy--and her only love. Together they must face the king Brian has defied, the village Ceara has betrayed, and the scorned man who makes a blood vow to claim Ceara as his own.

Stopped on 125pg, chapter 7 paperback. I'm having trouble getting into this book. I'll probably try again another time.

I liked this medieval love story, in an Irish vs. English atmosphere, the H and h, Brian and Ceara, determined to stay together and have a happy marriage and life together, despite the odds against them. I also liked the secondary couple, Miles and Gillian, with their own obstacles to overcome.
This book didn't go overboard with the usual tropes of arguments, misunderstandings, separations, etc. No forced seduction, no passionate responding followed by "I HATE you!", just romantic lovemaking. Brian and Ceara have their differences, but they never hurl insults and cutting, hurtful remarks. This book was more lowkey, and that was a refreshing change, and earned these four stars!

Pretty prose, swoon-worthy hero. Sadly the heroine is TSTL.
