On a quest to do his father’s bidding, Lucien “Wolf” St.
Martin set off to the Americas to obey his command. As soon
as he landed, Lucien was ready to conduct his business and
leave the uncivilized colonies, but fate had other ideas on
this matter. On hearing a distressed cry, Ciara McKay
rescued Lucien from inevitable death of being mauled by
bear. Due to the unforgiving wintry conditions, tracking
down to town with an invalid was not an option, hence Ciara
had to put up with a conceited, haughty uninvited guest
while he recovered. Though long chilly nights swirled
outside the cabin, indoors the thawed feelings between Wolf
and Ciara had ignited an explosive passion and respect for
each other. Their little paradise was short-lived as weather
conditions cleared and duty and responsibilities called out
to the lovers.
Few years later, the two lovers reunite but can they over
come the rigid rules dictated by society or succumb to the
status quo?
I was swept away by The Princess and the Marquess very
descriptive period and the two countries that were
showcased. As the “The heart of the Mountain”, I was
saddened when Ciara left her home since she was the very
heartbeat of the mountains. I was dismayed with Wolf’s
character since he did not seem to learn from past
experiences. Though the setting seemed authentic, it just
resonated a modern feeling. |
