Jennifer D. (nympherella) reviewed on
Miriam Minger writes a romance with wonderful descriptions of Damacus and England, along with two main characters who are interesting in their own right. If you like exotic locations and a hero who is not afraid to admit his feelings, this book is for you.
Guy, the hero is a prisoner in Damacus, Syria while fighting in the Crusades. He has been beaten and is being held for ransom. Lelia is a daughter of an English woman who was a slave and then became a third wife to an important healer/doctor. Eve, her mother came along with her English husband to Damacus who was killed. She was sold on the slave market but rescued by the man who she came to love. Lelia is practicing to become a doctor in Syria with her stepfather. She goes to the prison where Guy is and helps with his recovery.
Soon Guy is amazed by Lelia, apparantly an English woman who speaks English buts lives among the "infidels". He thinks she is a slave and when he escapes, he will help her do the same.
From this point their adventure begins, with Lelia hating Guy for what he has done. He has taken her away from the only place she has known, away from her mother (who helped Guy) and the fact that she is attracted to Guy doesn't help matters.
Guy also tries to deny his attraction, only wanting to help Lelia arrive safely in England and be delivered to her brother, who is also Guy's enemy.
Their attraction grows, which Lelia tries to deny, whereas Guy soon realizes he can't let her go.
The reader is taken on a journey along with watching lust and attraction turn into love.
The interaction between Guy and Lelia is enoyable and their love scenes and hot. A different type of romance novel awaits the reader with Captive Rose.
