It makes you think, it transports you with just a few words from sixteenth century England to early American colonies, during the French and Indian war.

This is a Historical Romance with some meat on it's bones. That being said, Hoyt also writes such a fabulous STORY. I think she is a master at sexual tension, so if you like a smooth, slow build up to a very enjoyable, lustfully delicious climax, GO HERE. Let me say that I am a bit of a fangirl about anything Elizabeth Hoyt writes. “There are no heroes on the battlefield, my lady there are only survivors.” Plus, you know, would it kill the guy to just undo the damn thing properly? Those things don't sew themselves back together. And, I don't mind a little bodice-ripping, just as long as she's okay with it. Yeah, so obviously this one didn't work for me. He threatened to expose her and shame her if she didn't let him fuck her. Why is this so hard to understand? Are we really still struggling for female authors to stop making non-consent romantic?Īt one point, the guy (cheater-hero) tells the girl (cheater-heroine) that he is going to come into her bedroom that night at a house party and if she locks the door or tries to deny him he will yell and make sure everyone knows that she cheated. When a woman says 'no', the answer is 'no'. Give me a break! In other words, you aren't to blame for cheating because your bodies wouldn't stop even when your minds said to? Is this supposed to legitimize the act? Wait, would this work in a courtroom?Because, you know, my mind says not to stab idiots, but my body has grabbed a knife and is heading towards idiots. Please, God, save us from this trope! Both the heroine, and the hero, ruminate endlessly about how the 'animal magnetism' takes over and they aren't in control of their actions. you do know that YOU are the bad guy here, right? Then, at one point they have an engagement party and the other-man attacks the fiance and beats the shit out of him. Oh, and the new guy is an old army buddy of her fiance and they are becoming closer friends throughout the book. The heroine is engaged throughout the book and yet is screwing the new guy. Plus, I liked the couple who is set-up for the next book. There was nothing wrong with the writing itself. is there a negative star yet? Yet, I will read the next one in the series because I think the problems in this book were unique to the characters. I have rated her books 5-stars, and one of them I gave 2-stars. Elizabeth Hoyt is a hit-or-miss author for me.
