The heroine is both shocked and extremely disgusted with the fact that he uncle has sold her to the bastard son of the enemy and vows to do everything in her power to escape. The hero had no idea that when he finally accepted the summons of her father that he would be forced into marriage. But neither can escape their fate and soon they are married. The heroine is far from attracted to her new husband, thinking him nothing more than a soft bellied aristocrat that useless to her. The hero thinks his new wife is a temptress but an entirely frustrating and stubborn creature made to make a man's life a living hell. The night of their wedding, she bashes him over the head and flees the planet, seeking transport to the barren moon planet in hopes of continuing her fathers work. The hero is quite astonished with his luck as it's his ship she seeks passage on. With his ability to shapeshift and change his features and body build, he lives under his alter ego. The heroine has no idea that the arrogant pirate caption is her husband and though they are like oil and water in most things, she admits he is much more attractive. But he has a tendency to push her buttons and to treat her like a commoner rather than the noble lady she is. She also has the suspicion he knows she's hiding things. When they reach the planet where she's expected to get off, the hero tags along and when he discovers she's onto a conspiracy to expose the fact the shapeshifting aliens live among the general population, he knows he must steal the proof at any cost. But his presence and the fact that he's a rebel has put her in danger and makes her a wanted fugitive. I felt a case of whiplash after reading this story. It bounced around so much I found it near impossible to stay interested in what I was reading. Let's start off with the fact that I absolutely detested the heroine from the first page to the last. I though she was a whiny, hypocrite with the intelligence of a peanut and the personality of a spoiled and useless child. She argued over every single thing and she judged people harshly. I can't stand characters like hers. Second reason why I felt like this book was a complete waste of time was the fact that the hero spent the book as 3 different men. First was Lucien, the lanky peacock with the big lips (no joke, that's how he's described) whom his wife has zero sexual attraction for. Then there's the main character he portrays, the cocksure gunrunner pirate/smuggler who does everything in his power to annoy the heroine then seduce her. Lastly there's the Lord, sophisticated one who speaks eloquently and is of so charming but whom the heroine can't love as she already loves the pirate! I was so disenchanted with the whole book and couldn't wait for it to be over. I don't think I'll attempt any further books by this author for some time. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
A wild and passionate love affair brings our hero and heroine together. Neither can resist the attraction they feel for one another and everything else takes second place. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
