Appartient à la sérieVerdantia (2)
Mentally scarred from her years as prisoner to the off-world invaders, Lady Sophillia Glorianna DeLorion, doubts she can be a fit sexual partner for any man - even one whose passionate green eyes make her remember what it is to desire. Commander of the Queen's Royal Guard, Eric DeStroia had grown up watching the corrosive, soul-killing effects of arranged, aristocratic marriage and vowed to remain alone. But under his hardened military exterior, Eric has a kind heart. When the second Tetriarch suggests he marry a noble woman rescued from the enemy, Eric reconsiders, consoling himself with visions of sheltering a wounded dove under his mighty arm. Instead, he discovers a fierce falcon that refuses to stoop to his lure. In the aftermath of their resounding defeat, a survivor from the enemy camp plotted a return to Verdantia to exact retribution. His first objective is the recapture of Lady Sophillia DeLorion. She had been unreachable until she went to the Oshtesh. Now, only Eric DeStroia stands in his way. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Review: 3 stars
General: **Please note this is the second book in a series**Romance and science fiction are a hard thing to mix. One tends to take the backseat to the other. I think the strongest part of this novel was that they mixed together perfectly. The romance kicks in from the get go and boy does Eric know his way around a woman! The science fiction is constantly weaved him via the fun world so it was nice to read a well balanced book. The characters and plot were entertaining and complemented each other.
I do think the world building in this needed work. I am unsure if it is because it was a second in the series or not but I felt all that was really given was an info dump prologue. I had trouble fully connecting with the book because there was so much I didn’t understand and couldn’t visualize. Also to that extent there was a sincere problem with the passage of time for me. I felt that things felt like they were skipping huge chunks of time to get from one pivotal scene to the next.
Characters: Sophi- Sophi is a wonderfully written character who takes a long and hard journey in this book (and I wonder if she was present in the first book). She was tortured by the enemy and a vast majority of the book is watching as she goes from her hardened cold ways to men to falling for Eric. She had a good mixture of strong and independent mixed with the fear and hesitancy of someone who had experienced trauma.
Eric- Eric is hot. Plain and simple that is the best way to describe him. Sexy to perfection from his looks to his skills in bed he was a great choice! Aside from that though he was loyal, caring and dedicated not only to Sophi (once he gave in) but to his job and country. (
