SYNOPSIS
A Dream of Desire Awakened...
Beautiful Lady Emily dreams of the rapture of love and the joys of marriage. The youngest daughter of an English lord at war, she is shaken by the arrival of a mysterious stranger to her father's castle. Could this breathtaking man be Emily's yearned-for lover? Indeed, Draven de Montague, Earl of Ravenswood, has come for Emily...but romance has nothing to do with it.
In the Tender Embrace of an Enemy...
Draven would never have entered the home of his most hated adversary had not the King himself ordered him to take in his foe's daughter for a year to forge bonds of peace between their two feuding houses. Worse still, here is a lass whose exquisite loveliness could tempt Draven to betray his sworn vow never to let another close to his heart. Emily knows the searing heat of her passion could burn down the defenses of this proud warrior. But will the surrender of the sweet nectar of his lips and his bold, sensuous caress ignite a blaze so hot it consumes them both?
REVIEW
This book pulled me in from the beginning. There was something interesting in this story because it started like no book before. Lady Emily was sent away from her overprotective father to no other than his enemy.
Draven was a hard man. He didn't have a soft spot in his body, or so he believed. And when the beautiful Emily arrives at his castle, she shakes his whole world up. Especially when she decides she wants him for her husband and she pursues him relentlessly.
She even asks his brother for help, who's more than happy to do so. It takes a lot of people to break down the wall Draven built around his heart.
But Draven is scared, haunted by his past and scared that he's just like his father. Emily does everything to be around him, but he does everything to avoid her because he doesn't trust himself around her.
Slowly, but surely, Emily gets to his heart and, before he even knows it, he's in too deep to get out. And someday, when he finally realises that Emily is safe with him and from him, he finally caves in the love for her.
But he's still the enemy of Emily's father and there's still someone who wants to hurt her father in Draven's name and as long as this mystery lies upon them, he can't truly live his happiness with Emily.
This book was refreshing to read. It has an interesting plot and it's exhilarating seeing women not being afraid of going after what they want. Emily fell in love with Draven and she wasn't about to give up on him. She was sure that he has a heart and she wanted it.
