The Bride and the Beast by Teresa Medeiros

4.0

Dear Reader,

I'd been prowling the crumbling ruins of Castle Weyrcraig for so long that I could no longer remember if I was man or beast. Then one stormy night the superstitious Highlanders of Ballybliss decided to leave a helpless virgin bound to a stake in the castle courtyard to satisfy my insatiable appetites.

My demands might strike terror in the hearts of men, but this bold beauty dared to defy me. After she informed me that she didn't believe in dragons, I had no choice but to make her my prisoner—or risk being exposed to those I had sought to deceive with my dangerous masquerade.

Soon I found myself stealing into the moonlit tower just to watch her sleep. Little does she know that beneath this beast's gruff exterior beats the passionate heart of a man. Gwendolyn Wilder may not believe in dragons, but I intend to use all my sensual wiles to teach her to believe in something even more magical—true love.

Eternally yours,

The Dragon of Weyrcraig



Gwendolyn Wilder is the only sensible one in her village. They think that that a dragon lives in the castle up the hill. Every few days, months they get a not pinned to their tree telling of it demands. It doesn't really ask for much. This time when we demands gold that they swear they don't have. They come up with a plan to give him a virgin sacrifice. And against her will Gwen is left tied in front of the castle.

The "Dragon" doesn't know what to do with Gwendolyn. He can't afford to let her go back to her village and tell everyone the truth about the supposdly dragon, so he keeps her trapped in his castle till he figues out what to do with her.

Gwendolyn doesn't know who the mystery "dragon" is he is always in the shadows and the only other person who she has seen is his friend Tully. Eventaully she gets free when the townspeople find out the dragon is really a motal man and they go the castle to kill him to find out that the dragon is actually their Laird Bernard MacCullough.

Bernard had the whole town beliving in dragons and ghosts to exact his revenge on his father who betrayed by a traitor in the villiage long ago.

What I liked The way he was always gentle with her.

What I didn't like The way she treated him after finding out his identity but then they get married and he leaves her
