Synopsis
Bowen MacRieve of the Lykae clan was
nearly destroyed when he lost the woman he loved. The ruthless warrior grew
cold and harsh, never taking another woman to his bed—until a smouldering
encounter with his enemy, Mariketa the Awaited, reawakens his deepest desires.
When sinister forces unite against her, the Highlander finds himself using all
his strength and skill to keep her alive.
Temporarily stripped of her powers,
Mari is forced to take refuge with her sworn enemy. It’s rumoured that no one
can tempt Bowen’s hardened heart, but soon passion burns between them. Though a
future together is impossible, she fears he still has no intention of letting
her go.
If they defeat the evil that
surrounds them, can Mari deny Bowen when he demands her body and soul—or will
she risk everything for her fierce protector?
my Thoughts (review)
this book was actually very
interesting, since it’s about the witches, and a Lykae, it’s also the book (if
you read in order) where meet Cadeon and his brother, though not a great deal
about them is know, there characters are there.
So it starts at the moment that
Bowen locks Mari into a tomb that evidently got him cursed to be mortal, which
we learn about, and see, in No Rest for the Wicked, but it’s about what
happened to her, and really it starts
with Bowen being reassured and then told he had to go get the other out.
Anyway,
so he does, he see her for something he doesn’t want to see, but then again
maybe he does, and the book ends up being about then have a day or two to get
through a jungle or someone was going to die—him. It seems her favourite way to
go, and I see it but...
So
that’s one part. Then there’s the love, which is all about him trying to
convince her to forgive him, to love him, when he isn’t really sure he wants
her—or does he want another?
And
then there’s the real interesting plot, the one that was new, and more about
Mari than him, and yet so much about him that even when you see it you still
gasp at the revealing.
It
was actually a really interesting book, more so than all of the other ones that
I have read so far (go by the numbers in the left hand corner). And even though
the whole travel thing was a little... over for me, like really, but I see it.
It’s the easiest way to get them together and all that but...
So
it was a good book, a lot I think because when you read book two (or one) you
get to know, and feel sorry for Bowen, even the one after its more about him,
and what he had lost and so it’s nice for him to have the book, and I think (at
least it was for me) that if it wasn’t for all that you might not have enjoyed
it all that much, I believe that this is defiantly a book I’m glad to have read
when I did, I’m not sure I would have been that into it if I had, like read it
first. But it was great, written in the way she had written them all, strong
woman, dotting but oh so possessive male, whose how life has become her.
What
woman could want more in her romance?
