Charlotte Hawkins

Have you ever wondered what happens to your favorite hero and heroine after the epilogue is long read and the book left on your shelf (or in this case my Kindle)?

Well, wonder no more! Ms. Hawkins takes us on a journey once more to visit this dynamic couple and their offspring. And what a journey it is! I laughed, I cried and just when I thought I figured it out, BOOM, she throws me off the scent!

I have enjoyed this book so much it's not even funny! If you like Medieval Romance, this one's a MUST! If you liked THE TEMPEST (I loved it) then what are you waiting for?! You need to get it! NOW! You'll be glad you did! I promise!

I'm sure that this take on Robin Hood's nemesis will not appeal to diehard Prince of Thieves fans, but if you've had a chance to watch BBC series (which lasted only three seasons), you will gobble this book and revel in it. I did. I loved every word this author wrote, and then some!

First, because of the said series, I knew what to expect, or I thought I did. It actually went a bit further then the series in giving us depth to Guy's character that helped me understand his dark and brooding nature. As the title states, this tale is all about Sir Guy and if you're expecting this to be your run-of-the-mill `hero worship' tale, you're in for a big surprise. Ms. Hawkins doesn't shy away from painting her hero with multiple flaws and that's what gave this story a very real, human element that kept my attention.

Cassia is one of those heroines that can be strong yet at the same time very vulnerable. I think that her strength and abundance of patience was what attracted Guy to her. No matter how hard he tried to `manage' her, she never gave into him nor did she allow him to turn her into a meek, withering female. The attraction, chemistry and the tension between the two was built with perfect pace and allowed us to watch Guy slowly show to Cassia his good side, without losing his `bad boy' edge.

As a Guy of Gisborne fan, this story was `up my alley' and I loved it so much that I'm now in the middle of the second book in the series `My Lady Gisborne: A Love Story' and without a doubt I would recommend both. The author continues where she left off and I was happy to catch up with now older couple and their children. William, Theodora, Owen and Evelyn are all a mix of both of their parents and it was so much fun watching their different personalities.

This last year I've read so many new and good authors that the element of surprise in how well this book was written, by an unknown, is lost on me by now. I haven't done much research on Charlotte Hawkins, but I can tell you this: Both her books are better than Catherine Coulter's last one `The Valcourt Heiress' and that, my bookworms, says it all.

If you'd like to step out of your comfort zone as I did, I promise that both of these books will keep you well entertained with its good writing, quick pace and sharp dialogue. And I would be remiss in not letting you know that sensuality in the first book is OFF the charts and it will definitely appeal to many romance lovers. Highly recommended!… (mehr)
