Hendes hjertes ridder (Den udødelige samling, #241)
Joias raras e presentes preciosos não poderiam substituir um bem maior: o Amor! De longe, Natália observava o Castelo de Lord Colwall, que ficava entre altas montanhas, delineado contra o céu azul, cheio de mistério e encantamento. Tudo ali parecia fazer parte do cenário de seus sonhos, inclusive Ranulf Colwall o homem que pensara um dia ser seu mensageiro da esperança, com quem acalentara planos de uma vida alicerçada em juras de amor eterno. Ele ofereceu-lhe um Castelo, o seu nome, e as preciosas joias de família. Só esqueceu de lhe dizer, que seu coração estava fechado para o amor e que dela, só queria um herdeiro! Mas poderia a força do amor arrombar as crenças e o cadeado de um coração amargurado?

Cleaning up and I keep rereading my old books. This one was good. It's a definite keeper for sure. This one stuck in my memory because of the love child explanation vs a child not born of love. I have remembered it did to that. Lol.

Okay this was a better BC book. When the h was 15 the hero became engaged to her and then had her trained to be the perfect wife. He sent for her when she was 18 and during those three years he continued his bachelor ways of course. Yuk but she was 15. She overheard him on her wedding night saying basically She was a brood mare and he would never love her. It was cruel so she told him she wouldnt make babies with him because without love, a baby might be deformed or sonething. They must be made in love so they would be beautiful. Can you say whacked? 😳 She says this in a lot of novels. Very odd. He is angry and pretty mean to her at times and I felt bad for her. She gets kidnapped and brutally attacked but the hero shows up as her knight in shining armor and saves her. He also kills the guy that is trying to rape her. She feels dirty and runs away and he discovers he loves her and goes to find her. I really loved this book and it did not have any tacky mistresses in it. It was sweet and of course they became one with the Divine ! 😇

Typical Barbara Cartland, beautiful, innocent, perfect heroine needs to inspire her cold, arrogant, aristocratic husband to love her.
Untypical - a very graphic almost-rape scene!

I don't usually like romance, but I couldn't put this one down. It did not disappoint. It only took me half a day to read, though.

I loved Barbara Cartland when I was a young teenage girl - in fact I used to be given a couple of her books every Christmas until approx. age 16. Re-reading this as an adult, I can see why it appealed to my younger self but it does not hold enough depth for me to enjoy now. They are sweet stories with a bit of danger, excitement and historical events but retaining an innocence that is almost childlike. I would recommend for young teens who are interested in history and romance and for anyone who wants a "sweet" read.
A good trip down memory lane for me and a thank you for leading me to my passion for historical romance.

Not good despite happy ending.
For most of the book the hero was almost abusive. Lots of triggers also especially for those exposes to sexual violence.

From the moment she saw him, Natalia Greystroke knew that Lord Ranulf Colwall was the one man she could love. And when he asked to marry her, she thought he felt the same way. But on her wedding night, Natalia overheard her husband say that he would never permit himself to love any woman--all he desired from marriage was an heir to his vast estate.
Natalia was crushed, She knew she could never truly become Lord Colwall's wife. Desperate and afraid, she fled her new home--still hoping she had kindled some spark of affection that would bring him to her side.
