I LOVED this book. Excitement. Sexy scenes. Not a lot of humor, it's for the medieval romance lover. (Alpha male included ;)

This book had a great premise (the bastard son with a grievance, who thinks he was betrayed by the heroine many years ago). But, the writing is blunt and undeveloped, and the characters are shallow stereotypes who always think with their you-know-what's instead of their brains. It's a real shame that this story and the characters weren't taken through a few more drafts. It could have been so much better!
I admit I couldn't finish it, but I read more than half (forcing myself to do that) so I believe this review to be accurate.

From the back: He rode into Chirk Castle on his pure black destrier. Clad in black from his gleaming helm to the tips of his toes, he was all battle-honed muscles and rippling tendons. In his stark black armor he looked lethal and sinister, every bit as dangerous as his name implied. He was a man renowned for his courage and strength, for his prowess with women, for his ruthless skill in combat. But when he saw Raven of Chirk, with her long, chestnutt tresses and womanly curves, he could barely contain his embroiled emotions. For it was her betrayal twelve years before that had turned him from chivalrous youth to hardened knight. It was she who made him vow to trust no woman-to take women only for his pleasure. It was she who had made him ruthless and bitter and incapable of love. But only she could unleash the passion in his body, the goodness in his soul, and the love in his heart...

This was a really good book. I loved the characters, and the interaction between them was great! I was surprised at how engrossing the story was, since the plot was fairly common.
