[Linda C · Rating 4 out of 5]

The last book in this series centers on Marianne of Faucon, the youngest Faucon, who is eager to be married and frustrated by her eldest brother, Rhys', constant rejection of suitors. While wandering on her own at the local fair she is abducted by 4 ruffians and taken to England. Bryce of Ashforde had planned to have her abducted and he would rescue her as a means of gaining access to her brother's stronghold, then destroy the family for burning his castle. Instead he watches her be abducted by others. He follows still planning a rescue. However, the rescue and subsequent return are nothing like he plans. Marianne has made him her hero. This is a very humorous adventure with a very determined heroine and a blindsided hero.

Je n'ai pas du tout aimé le personnage de l'héroïne, et je pense que c'est ce qui fait penché la balance vers le 2 étoiles seulement. Je l'ai trouvée très tournée vers elle-même, égoïste et irréfléchie...

Quarto volume da série Falcon.

Numa tentativa de modificar a série, Lynn colocou uma vilã tão caricata que eu estava esperando ler sobre hienas dormindo aos pés de seu trono.

The story was fine, but I had a real problem with making Matilda one of the villains. She was a passionate woman, perhaps too volatile to rule, I have no idea. But to my knowledge, she wasn't one prone to plot to kill off her loyal followers in favor of an uncertain loyalty for obscure reasons. It seems much more likely, that she would have just gifted Sir John the property in the first place thereby clearing the way for him and Cecily to marry.

ok I read it years ago and I may be a bit lenient with my rating, but it was a feel-good book. the protagonists were charming and full of joy and I liked that the heroine was not the helpless little maiden, as opposed to the majority of the historical romances, but she was witty and not afraid to admit her feelings for a man. So yeah it was an overall fine reading.

A short, light read about a woman rescued from a kidnapping by a man that wants revenge on her family.

I don't know if it is a good thing that once the book is done that I still want the story to continue so I can find out what happens in their lives.
