Abducted from her convent school, headstrong Scottish beauty Jennifer Merrick does not easily surrender to Royce Westmoreland, Duke of Claymore. Known as “The Wolf”; his very name strikes terror in the hearts of his enemies. But proud Jennifer will have nothing to do with the fierce English warrior who holds her captive, this handsome rogue who taunts her with his blazing arrogance. Boldly she challenges his will… until the night he takes her in his powerful embrace, awakening in her an irresistible hunger. And suddenly Jennifer finds herself ensnared in a bewildering web… a seductive, dangerous trap of pride, passion, loyalty, and overwhelming love.

Review:

This was the first Judith McNaught book I read and WOW is all I have to say. I love it! This book moved me to tears. Seriously I was sobbing at parts and then Judith would spin her magic and I’d be laughing hysterically at the pure comical genius she has woven into this book! Royce truly made me swoon, still does, as I can’t stop thinking about him yet. He’s such a softie with an extremely tough exterior. Jennifer is strong and courageous and watching these two fall deeply in love was breathtaking! The last battle scene took my breath away. What amazing writing. The love scenes were lusty, yet oh so tender. I can’t wait to read another of Judith’s books, and another and another (you get the idea). Don’t miss this book. You’ll still be thinking about it long after you’ve finished it.
