Binding: Mass Market PaperbackDewey Decimal Number: 813 EAN: 9781416503590 ISBN: 1416503595 Label: Pocket Manufacturer: Pocket Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 384 Publication Date: April 26, 2005 Publisher: Pocket Studio: Pocket Editorial Review: Product Description: Can he exact revenge? High in the Pyrenees, a band of mercenaries led by Courtland MacCarrick wages war for General Reynaldo Pascal. When Court turns on the evil general, Pascal orders him killed but Court narrowly escapes and exacts revenge by kidnapping Pascal's exquisite Castilian fiancée. Lady Annalía Tristán Llorente despises her towering, barbaric captor almost as much as she does Pascal. Her inexplicable attraction to the Highlander only fuels her fury. But nothing will stop her from returning to Pascal -- for if she doesn't wed him, she signs her brother's death warrant, as well as her own. From the moment Court discovers that Anna's prim façade masks a fiery, brave lass, his heart's ensnared, and he dares to defy the curse that has shadowed his life -- to walk with death or walk alone. But Pascal vows that he'll hunt the two, never stopping until he's destroyed them both. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Liked it for the most partProud, haughty and at first bigoted and unlikable, Annalia finds injured mercenary for hire Courtland MacCarrick and against her better judgment takes him to her mountain home in Andorra to recuperate. Annalia's country is under siege from a wicked man, Pascal, who hired Court and his fellow Scots as mercenaries but has now turned against them. Court almost died at their hands. Anna hates Scots and she lets Court know this almost every time she speaks with him, she is, in fact, hateful ... Read More Rating:  - If You DareIf You Dare is a good story, I liked it, but I didn't love it. It was interesting and it held my attention but its not something I would re-read, like I would A Hunger Like No Other, another romance by Kresley Cole. Courtland MacCarrick is described as a handsome scot rougue and Annalia Tristan Llorente is described as a beautiful castilian. Annalia finds him by the river beat pretty badly and unconscious. She takes him in to care for him, even though she knows she shouldn't since she can tell he is a ... Read More Rating:  - Loved it!I thought Kresley Cole's Immortals After Dark series was good, but I very much enjoyed reading this historical of hers. Court was perfect. He was rough and ready, reminding me of Cade from her paranormal series. Anna and Court's relationship is slow to build in typical Cole fashion, but I felt connected to these two characters throughout the whole book. I'm not a huge historical romance reader. I dislike the formal English setting, with the balls and precise manners. But I love historicals ... Read More Rating: - If you DareThis is the first of a trilogy about the MacCarrick brothers who have feared an ancient family curse all their lives and resisted lasting relationships with women until that ONE comes along who wont be denied. Filled with suspence and sexual zing between the characters from the beginning. Rating: - SwoonI'm not a big reader of historicals and normally don't care much for novels where the hero and heroine argue a lot, but this is one of those rare books that overcame my normal likes and dislikes because it was so darn good. I won't go into the plot (it's rather complex to be summarised) but I would like to write a bit about the characters and what makes them special. The hero, Court McCarrick, is rough, tough and not exactly well-mannered. His sexy Scottish accent is brilliantly written by Kresley ... Read More |
