Registre-se no LibraryThing tpara descobrir se gostará deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Run of the mill novel. Nothing really special. I'm glad several years passed between the first novel and this one because Angus was not a favorable hero based on the first novel. Gwendolyn was moderately interesting but acted out of character many times - she adjusted to the marriage more quickly than I would expect based on her actions in the first chapter. The novel also used a lot of terminology that seemed wrong for the time period (1710s). It jars a reader out of the environment when these words come up... I think I'm done with this series... sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Pertence à sérieHighlanders (2)
With his tawny mane, battle-hewn brawn, and ferocious roar, Angus "The Lion" MacDonald is the most fearsome warrior Lady Gwendolen has ever seen; and she is his most glorious conquest. Captured in a surprise attack on her father's castle, Gwendolen is now forced to share her bed with the man who defeated her clan. But, in spite of Angus's overpowering charms, she refuses to surrender her innocence without a fight. With her stunning beauty, bold defiance, and brazen smile, Gwendolen is the most infuriating woman Angus has ever known and the most intoxicating. Forcing her to become his bride will unite their two clans. But conquering Gwendolen's heart will take all his skills as a lover. Night after night, his touch sets her on fire. Kiss after kiss, his hunger fuels her passion. But, as Gwendolen's body betrays her growing love for Angus, a secret enemy plots to betray them both.

ANYWAY.
I finished this book in a day. I like MacLean's book because they're super easy to read and I find them oddly absorbing.
The only thing I have a problem with in MacLean's series is the sometimes dubious consent the characters have during sexual encounters, BUT much to my surprise, the author addressed this and actually made me feel way more comfortable while reading the book.
I will say that I wish her female characters had a little bit more depth, because after reading two of her books, they're starting to sound similar, if not the same. But who am I kidding, it's a sexually-objectified-Scotsman kinda novel, of course I want the sameness.
I will say, though, that their first meeting is hilarious and possibly one of the most outlandish I've read. It went a little something like this:
Male Hero: I WAS BROODING mysteriously but I'm back now and want my father's castle
[ male hero quickly begins to kill everyone, heroically ]
Female Heroine: Oh, shit, we're being attacked. Let's head into his gunfire with a musket and my dressing gown.
[ male hero, swinging his sword, covered in other people's blood and swearing ]
Female Heroine: Ho damn, son. You fine. What up? I'm terrified, but also aroused. (????)
Male Hero: Oh, what up. Let's get married and make a baby to unite our clans.
[ female heroine screams internally ]
Male Hero: At least you're kinda hot, that helps, I guess.
[ male hero broods about sex ]
That's it. That's how they meet.
Also this book wins the prize for worst word used to describe female reproductive parts. I'll let you read it for yourself and find out what that is. ( )
