A Lost Touch of Innocence
By touching a magic crystal, Piers Veuxfort recklessly unchained the essence of a decidedly wicked Fin Man who now resides within his body. Meanwhile, Giselle St. Germain’s life in a secluded nunnery is over and she has been thrown into the world to become Piers’ bride. Giselle quickly becomes frightened by both her betrothed’s unabashed adherence to pleasure and his increasingly unusual personality, and Piers wants nothing but to send back his bride-to-be. Eventually the pair discovers that destiny is theirs to win, but it will take all the courage that lies within their deepest hearts to seize it together.

To Giselle, the Church and the Abbey were everything in her world. Coming to the Abbey when she was a baby and having her mother die when Giselle was only 9 years old, the Church was the only thing she’s ever known. Devoting her life to God and being a nun was to be her greatest achievement…Now, she’s been cast out of the Abbey and is lost and alone in the world. Only then does she discover she’s betrothed to a stranger.
The last thing Piers wants in a damn wife. Dealing with a possessive spirit that is plaguing him, keeping the secret from his family, Piers can’t deal with a timid pias mouse who either trembles in front of him or judges him on what she deals ungodly. He would give anything to send her back to the church, only they don’t want her. Seems like she’s stuck.
Giselle never though to be a wife to a man, only to God. And now she’s realizing that all of her teachings in the Abbey were cruel and incorrect. Life can be filled with joy, laughter and happiness, not just suffering. Only the idea of being a wife to her new husband fills her with such fear. With visions of the future showing her both love and danger, Giselle will need to adapt to her new world or risk those she’s come to call family.
I very quickly lost interest in this book because of my dislike of both characters. Giselle was a stupid little girl who really lived up to the judgmental religious type. Everything anyone did was ungodly or blasphemous and it took the majority of the book in order for the character to start to grow a backbone. It got very old very fast to have her tremble and run away from life. Piers too was an asshole, with or without the spirit possessing him. He was a womanizer and was very explicit sexually despite Giselle (or any woman’s) obvious discomfort. I felt zero chemistry between these characters both sexually and romantically and the time period was very up in the air.
