This was not as good as the other Clare book I read, but it was till enjoyable. The writing was fine and the characters were well developed. I thought the book was a tad bit drawn out, but it didn't really hurt the story. I only wish that Clare spent more time in the colonies. She created this great back story and I would have loved to see it carried over into the future.

Set in Ireland during the time of Pre-Revolutionary America. I liked it but not as much as her other books.

I love Pamela Clare's books and this is no exception. The books starts off with a bang and is very steamy.

Follows a previous Clare release, "Sweet Release". Not my favorite Clare book but it was a good read.
I really liked this book and all the extended family.
One of my favorite authors! Great book.
second in the series and just as good as the first book
This was a very good book. I love it. I live in Williamsburg and the book talks about Colonial Williamsburg. I enjoyed being able to know where they are talking about. Great new author to read. This is a sexy read.
My first book by Pamela Clare. It is a good love story filled with the Irish/English conflict. I enjoyed the book and look forward to reading more of Pamela Clare's books.
A historical romance, fairly predictable, but at least the heroine shows some gumption. She ACTS, instead of just waiting for Mr. Right to come along.
From back cover: "I EXPECT YOU TO SHOW MY FRIEND JUST HOW GRATEFUL YOU ARE. YOUR WILLINGNESS IS EVERYTHING.
" With those harsh words, the hated Sassenach earl decided Brighid's fate: her body and her virginity were to be offered up to a stranger in exchange for her brother's life. Possessing nothing but her innocence and her fierce Irish pride, she had no choice but to comply.
But the handsome man she faced in the darkened bedchamber was not at all the monster she expected. His green eyes seemed to see inside her. His tender touch calmed her fears while he swore he would protect her by merely pretending to claim her. And as the long hours of the night passed by, as her senses ignited at the heat of their naked flesh, she made a startling discovery: sometimes the line between hate and love can be dangerously thin.

Awesome story and family trilogy!
I read this book over a couple of days in our pool and I couldn't tell what was hotter - the weather or the book!
Add me to the list of fans of Pamela Clare. She got me involved with Sweet Release on my Kindle Fire and I had to continue with the next book. It was hot, twisted, intriguing, passionate, had a terrific hero and heroine, awful villains and the historical aspect was spot on. Although I am very aware of the history from this time period, it still made me stop and think about the fact that Protestants and Catholics were forbidden to wed. Wow.
The books in this series definitely stand apart from the others.

When one of her brothers speaks out against the English Earl who has taken over their lands, Irish Beauty Brighid Ni Maelsechnaill is forced to go with the Earl or they will kill her family. Jamie Blakewell is traveling with the Earl's party. He claims Brighid as his own and takes her to his bed chamber. Brighid is terrified he will rape her, but Jamie merely pretends to claim her. He knows he and Brighid must leave the Earl's manor undetected or he will not be able to save her.
This was the second book in the Blakewell/Kenleigh series. Jamie is all grown up. He has been sent to London to get Parliament to send troops to fight against the Indians in the Colonies. He travels to Ireland to appeal to the Earl and ends up rescuing a damsel in distress. This is just in the first few pages. There is a lot going on in this story.
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Kaleo Griffith. He does an outstanding job with the Irish accent and the difficult Gaelic words. I highly recommend you listen to this book. My rating: 4.5 Stars.

Show my friend how grateful you are. In 1754 Brighid's viginity and body were to be used in exchange for her brother's life. Having nothing else to lose. She had to comply.
Jamie, the handsome man she was faced with. Was nothing like she thought. He would just pretend to take her viginity. As the night continued. Brighid mande a discovery. The line between love and hate is thin.
