I thought the ending good enough to redeem it to four stars. ( ) Another favorite! I obtained this book while browsing a local second hand bookstore back in the Philippines and bought it when it became available via ebook. Sadly, I left my paperback in the PH and hopefully, it will still remain in good shape. Once Claudia discovers the plot between her uncle and the bishop: they plan to kill Guy and plan to frame Claudia; she tries to help him escape and convinces him to take her with him. Despite being attracted to Claudia, Guy guards his heart and still distrusts her until it is apparent that Claudia is indeed innocent and a victim of her uncles' wickedness and he starts to fall in love with her. Another complication to their relationship is revealed when it is discovered that Claudia's brother, Roberto of Ravenna was in fact an assassin who tried to kill his brother Kenric (Warlord, Montagues #1). Despite this, Guy intends to wed Claudia until her second brother Dante poisons Guy so that he can rescue her. Claudia ends up in the dungeons and escapes with her brother when he convinces her that Guy thinks she is guilty of poisoning her. The story ends in a stand-off between Guy and Dante with Claudia stepping in between both of them trying to save Guy. I have read this book over and over and loved it. I enjoyed reading about how Claudia turned guys revenge into love and how she sort of healed the two families. Claudia is a very likable character and I was appalled at how she was treated by her uncle. I see her inner strength shining through every time she stands up to Guy and how she faces the world without fear despite being alone. I feel that Guy is the perfect pair for Claudia in that he sees in her beauty, innocence and honestly despite her being a foreigner to England. There really is not an actual villain in the story because once they leave Halford Hall, they do not meet up with her uncle again. However, Dante comes in and tries to save Claudia from Guy's clutches. His plan fails when Claudia comes in between them and gets hurt and poisoned by Dante's knife. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Baron Guy of Montague came to Lonsdale Castle prepared to fight for what was rightfully his...only to find a woman who made him all but forget his purpose. With her angel's face and womanly curves, Lady Claudia Chiavari was enough to tempt a saint to sin. And when she returned his kisses with innocent fire, Guy knew that he was bewitched. But in a matter of hours, everything changed, as he found himself betrayed, betrothed, and imprisoned, with only Claudia to blame... Five lonely years of exile under her uncle's tyrannical rule had taught Italian-born Claudia Chiavari to distrust all Englishmen--until Guy swept into her life. Now, determined to prove to the handsome knight that she had no part in her uncle's schemes, she will risk her life to help him escape. But when she rides with Guy tonbsp;nbsp;his magnificent fortress, she will discover a terrible truth: that she herself is a prisoner...and at the mercy of a man whose tumultuous passion could cost her her heart.
