Synopsis
Cain Sinclair has a plan. In order to finally bring peace to his clan, he will wed the young female chief of their greatest enemy. Only problem: capturing her and forcing her back to Sinclair castle doesn’t exactly make her want to say yes. Ella Sutherland may be clever, passionate, and shockingly beautiful, but what she isn’t is willing.
Every attempt Cain makes to woo her seems to backfire on him. A gift? The kitten practically claws his eyes out. A competitive game of chess? Even when he wins, he loses. It seems the only time the two ever see eye to eye is when they’re heating up Cain’s bed. Still, the only thing Ella truly wants is the one thing he cannot offer her: freedom.
But when Cain discovers she’s been harboring a secret—one that could threaten both clans’ very existence—he’ll have to decide between peace for the Sinclairs or the woman who’s captured his heart.
Review
Who doesn't enjoy a good historical romance, right? And this is one of the best. I loved it! The story flows perfectly and all the characters are great. This is a very well-written and enjoyable novel for historical fiction fans like me.
Cain wants peace for his clan and falling in love is not a part of his plans. He only plans to make Ella his bride so that their two clans can finally find peace. Unfortunately, fate intervenes and now he must make an ultimate choice. Will he ever be able to get both; his happiness and peace for his people? One the other hand, Ella has no plan to marry Cain. He is the mand who has hated her most of their lives. There is no way she would ever be his wife. It's a battle of wills and neither of them is willing to surrender.
Overall, I enjoyed the story and I think that both main characters are very well matched. The chemistry between them is amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed the angst side of the relationship.
Note: I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley.
