Emily was the highlight of this book. She was very spirited, so it's obvious she wasn't meek and shy. She knew she wanted Draven from the beginning and she fought for him (often against him) tooth and nail. Draven could have been a wonderfully tortured hero, but something was missing. I couldn't quite connect with him and what a shame that was. Still an enjoyable read, though,

2.5 stars

I thought the premise of the book was kind of boring. Emily's insistence that Draven de Montague should marry her even though he was trying to honor the promise he made to the King made me uncomfortable. This book reminded me of old [a:Julie Garwood|6251|Julie Garwood|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1414607796p2/6251.jpg] books.

4 stars!

This book was really good!!!!!! I needed a good read after the horrible book I read before this. I heard great things about this one so I thought I'd give it a try! I was not disappointed at all! Anyone who knows me knows I like my tortured heroes and Draven was exactly that. He needed love to heal and he found that in Emily. She was such a fighter and she was fearless...also resilient! She never gave up on the belief that Draven was a great man who deserved love and who had love within him. They were so cute and I did really like the book. MacGregor's writing is amazing and I look forward to reading the other books in this series.
The reason I'm not giving this five stars is because she was a little pushy when trying to win him over which kind of got be mad but she won me over many times in this book for it to affect the rating too much!

At first it was a bit frustrating with Emily chasing Draven all around but eventually MacGregor made up for it. I really loved how things ended up between them, even though it was a bit obvious who is evil and who is not.

Loved!

Какво хубаво заглавие. Способно е веднага да заинтригува погледа. Не мога да се сдържа и ще кажа, че обожавам корицата. Тя ми е една от любимите. Може би това се дължи на наличието на син цвят, а на мен ми е любим. Съчетан е идеално с каменната обстановка, но да оставя корицата на страна. По-важно е самото съдържание на книгата.
Историята като цяло е интригуваща заради няколко определено сцени. Признавам си, че бяха интересни. Хареса ми, че са добавени някои исторически личности, но акцентът не пада върху тях. Авторката е успяла да отдели време за всеки герой, който е сметнала, че трябва да участва в самата история. Длъжна съм да обърна повече внимание на Емили и Дрейвън. Все пак те са главните герои.
Емили е невинна и не знае нищичко за по-важните въпроси, които един човек може да си зададе. Малко по малко тя разбира какво иска и защо го иска. За мен тя е наистина смела да се опита да спечели Дрейвън. Тактиката й може да има няколко пробойни, но поне се опитва да направи нещо. А милият Дрейвън (още едно име, което харесвам) не знае откъде му е дошло. Така е най-забавно. Обичам, когато мъжете си мислят, че ще стане точно, както са си представяли, а всъщност става обратното. Затова хората казват да не си правиш планове за бъдещето. Дрейвън е войн и човек на честта. Наистина ми допадат някои от принципите му. Харесва ми как авторката е развила образът му.
Този роман е малко по-различен от другите любовни романи. Вярно, че отново имаме герой, който се страхува да се обвърже, но за това си има причина. Имаме си и красива жена, която е доста твърдоглава. Също така има и проблеми, които са наистина сериозни. Ако хванете да четете книгата ще разберете за каква разлика говоря. Не бива да изпускам и частта с даването на клетвата. Това е много важен момент.
Кинли МакГрегър определено ме очарова с тази история. Не знам как да го обясня, но имам усещането, че тя пише с някаква страст. Тази страст успява да достигне до читателите.

I didn't know that this Sherrilyn Kenyon, but I am glad that I found this series because it was good!

The Earl of Ravenswood, Draven de Montague and his arch nemesis Earl Hugh Kensington were at constantly accusing the other of attacks on their land as well as other nefarious deeds. King Henry was so concerned of an all out war that he insisted that they form a truce of sorts. The King insisted that Draven hosts Hugh's daughter Emily as a guest in his keep for a year. King Henry knew that Hugh adored his daughters so much that he would not allow an attack on Ravenswood because he would never risk his daughter getting hurt in any way. I also wonder if the King suspected that the Earl of Ravenswood would be unable to resist the feisty and intelligent Emily.

Emily was so tired of her over protective dad, that she schemed to get Draven to marry her so that her 1year of freedom from her father's overprotective guidance could turn into a forever freedom. The only problem was that Draven was wholly uninterested in marriage and certainly not to the daughter of his nemesis. But Emily was determined to win Draven and thus win her freedom to live!

Buckle up because Emily was a hoot. I mean she had some of the lamest jokes ever but I applaud her for her efforts. I really liked her, her maid Alice, Draven and his brother Simon. This is definitely a Sherrilyn Kenyon-ish story. There was angst, some sexy times and some good characters. I am excited to try the other audiobooks in this series
