After rescuing Cora from a French dungeon, Guy discovers it was one of his deciphered messages that led to her captivity. Guy strives to earn her forgiveness while outwitting their enemy. But will he find the scars on her wounded soul run too deep?
My thoughts:
OH there is only one person in this dungeon, damn! Oh well, I will rescue that person anyway, even though the only person in this dungeon was supposed to be the woman called raven. The awesome spy. But this woman can't be her. I almost changed my mind and left her there.
Great logic there Guy.
I will not tell Guy that I know this is a trap, I will rush headstrong into it, even though we could make a trap ourselves and save us a LOT of time. But I am just a headstrong young woman that do not listen to men.
And almost gets kidnapped more times than I can count.
Sheesh.
But it was still fun. The villain was an idiot too. I mean you had her SO many times. LOL.
The heroine was an idiot cos she kept putting herself in the villain's path.
The hero, well he was actually not an idiot later on, but how he put up with her. Oh man.
The fall in love. She is all I am ruined..yeah, you were a spy. Duh. Women! They conquer the bad guy and live happily ever after.

Historical romance
Own
She strikes a bargain with runaway Elven prince Loren ta Cedric and his sentient, pain-in-the-butt war mare, Hani ena. Loren s not only too handsome for Dara s own good, the powerful empath can see right through to the pain that drives her.
Loren can't help but feel Dara s every hurt, physical and emotional. Though his need for her drives him half mad, he must stay his course to see justice done for his people. Even if it means swearing a Life Debt to the distracting mortal.
That vow, made in the heat of their parallel quests, carries more power than either of them guessed. The power to bond the unlikely pair as Life Mates. The power to lay bare the fears and desires that could bind them to a single purpose or tear them apart.
All the while a demon awaits, ready to destroy all that they hold dear.
My thoughts:
Oh this was a silly light fantasy romance. Do not expect any world building. It starts off in a country and then suddenly there are lots of more things. Like it took a 1 day to walk to the elves and I was all, whaat? Cos weren't they fairytales? Or wait, just, never mind. The world building lacked
But if you want a little romance about a woman who has nothing and meets a cute guy, who then turns out to be a prince, and whose family are assholes to her (well not all). And then we find out she was more than just a silly little peasant. And she is an awesome healer too btw, and everyone loves her. And then they live happily ever after.
Oh and there is a bad guy, but to not worry, it takes 80% of the book, one week, for all nations to meet him in battle. And then it's over in 10 pages and there is this loooooooooooooooooong blah blah blah where they find happiness.
But hey, it was ok, I just think it could have been fleshed out more.

Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
DeleteThe heroine sounds super frustrating in this one! I think she would drive me crazy. So glad it was still a fun read though:)
ReplyDeleteShe was a bit too much
Deleteeh... I don't think either would do it for me. This first one has too many stupid people and the second one sounds like it is lacking.
ReplyDeleteLol, true
DeleteWoot for a happily ever after!!
ReplyDeleteyay
DeleteOh both do not sound great. At least the first one was more entertaining. :)
ReplyDelete;)
DeleteI had to laugh at your thoughts on A Lady's Revenge, I'd be thinking the same thing from the sounds of it :P
ReplyDeleteI think so too ;)
DeleteMonday. BLECH.
ReplyDeleteMondays suck
DeleteOh boy. I don't think I could've been as patient with this book as you have. Lol.
ReplyDeleteIt was still strangely good
DeleteThe first book... lol... one too many idiots.
ReplyDeleteBelated happy birthday!!
Hmm idiots or no world building? Nope I do not think these are for me. Thanks for making me laugh though. Happy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
DeleteWell I guess if they're all idiots at least it's an even wash and they're all on the same ground.
ReplyDeleteHa, that is true
DeleteThe first book sounds completely absurd! But I suppose for the story it's trying to tell, that's to be expected. It isn't really my genre though, of the two I think the second is more my thing.
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
The fantasy one could have been better...a lot better
Deletethey sound ok even if not more
ReplyDeleteThe first one was good
Deletelol! I love your take on these books.
ReplyDelete;)
DeleteHave a lovely Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteThe can't all be winners lol
ReplyDeleteKaren @For What It's Worth
Nope they can not
DeleteHope the birthday went well.
ReplyDeleteThe first sounds irritating- I've met my quota for TSTL characters for the month- and the second sounds okay. Light fantasy is good escape reading.
The first one was better, that one I could enjoy, the second one was just too Mary Sue
Delete:3 *waves* Pre-birthday cake? *magically appears with cake*
ReplyDeleteYay cake
Deleteoh the heroine sounds a bit frustrating. But I do want to try this author out soon....the covers are always so pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt was still good :)
