A Rogue's Embrace

By Margaret Moore

Book Overview

By the king's command, Sir Richard Blythe has reluctantly agreed to wed--for that is the only way to regain his birthright. But he never expected to be smitten by the lovely bride who has been forced upon him. To own the heart and soul of Elissa Longbourne, Sir Richard would be willing to forsake all other women; yet he realizes that it will take more than a marriage vow to free the passion he sees simmering in the stubborn beauty's eyes. So the notorious nobleman sets out to tame his willful wife--one slow, luxurious kiss at a time... Elissa refuses to love her bridegroom, even though he is so maddeningly handsome that he had stolen her breath away upon her very first glance. Richard Blythe is a husband to be feared. Now he holds the key to Elissa's young son's legacy in his powerful hands. Dare a pretty widow trust a rogue such as he with her heart?

What a disappointment!

After hearing many raves as to Ms. Moore's writing talent, I decided to purchase this book. I wish I hadn't been so influenced by the comments of others. This book was so slow going for me that I found myself skipping paragraphs at a time, something I've never done before.I found the heroine irritating, argumentative, bossy, and razor tongued and lost sympathy for her early on. Its hard to believe that a woman who supposedly lived in that day and age could be so sharp tongued and opinionated - even to the king. While I liked the hero for the most part, he seemed wishy-washy at some points. The weak willed sort who doesn't really seem to stand for anything or stick to any opinion. He would be angry or annoyed at something one moment then in the bat of an eye he would become good-humored again and give in to the heroines whims.If you really feel you must read this book, do yourself a favor and borrow it from the library first to see if you like it. I wish I had left it on the bookstore shelf.
