( ) In medieval times, Bernard of Carrisford dies suddenly leaving his only daughter vulnerable to attack. The Treasure of Carrisford, as Imogen is known, flees her castle when the evil Lord Warbrick mysteriously invades the castle searching for her and its treasure. She escapes to her neighbor, Lord FitzRoger of Cleeve, and begs for his help to regain her home and defend her honor. Forced to realize that she needs a strong defender, Imogen agrees to wed the Lord of Cleeve in exchange for his assistance. This story has several twists and turns but eventually the stubborn and independent people surrender to love. This was my first romance of the year and it was a good one. I really enjoyed it not only for the romance but the story of the battles and imagery. Imogen of Carrisford flees when her house is invaded by a neighbour. She dressed up with a fake pregnant stomach and goes to the one man who might be able to help. Fitzroger of Cleeve, often called the Bastard. A man who is strong and powerful and willing to help. They find themselves attracted to each other but are both quite unwilling to admit to each other how much. It's full of historical detail and the characters are quite good fun, however there are moments where it just read like a record skip, jarring a little. It's interesting and fun though. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Violencia y muerte. Las paredes del castillo que desde siempre protegieron a la hermosa Imogen, ahora casi se derrumbaban. De la noche a la mañana, la hija del acaudalado señor Carrisfod estaba por convertirse en botín, después de que asesinaran al padre, y casi conquistaran sus tierras. La subasta matrimonial estaba por comenzar, porque aquel que se convirtiera en esposo de la desdichada jovencita sería finalmente el señor feudal más poderoso de la región. La heredera necesitaba con urgencia un protector para sus propiedades, y la única elección confiable parecía ser la del bastardo Fitz Roger; un hombre fuerte y gran luchador, pero acompañado de una dudosa reputación, por la rudeza de su carácter y la falta de miramientos conque se enfrentaba a todos. La batalla estaba por comenzar. A Imogen no le quedaba tiempo como para medir las consecuencias futuras de su precipitada decisión. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
