Despite growing up under lonely and tragic circumstances, Farah and Dougan form a bond that transcends time. Their brief relationship leaves a mark on their hearts and it's Farah's heart that can never let go.
Fast forward to adulthood. Farah is a successful clerk for Chief Inspector Sir Carlton Morley and finds herself in the awkward position of transcribing the interrogation of the infamous Blackheart of Ben More. Much to Farah's chagrin, Dorian Blackwell is an unsettling presence more powerful, mysterious, and dangerous in the flesh than she bargained for. Somehow, some way, they experience a mutual curiosity and attraction. Dorian Blackwell happens to be more attracted than is safe, leading to her abduction and from there sparks and intrigue abound.
I really admired Farah's strength and goodness and Dorian's dark menace and tortured soul. She was the light and he was the darkness. I was impressed with the depth of the characters, the back story, and believable traits they exhibited. Farah was not a wilting flower and she held her own against Dorian. If she weren't such a strong female heroine I would have had a hard time with their interactions.
Despite Dorian's demons and callous treatment of Farah at times, Kerrigan still manages to make you feel for him and root for his happily ever after. That is not easy to do. Their passion sizzles with some of the hottest sex scenes I've read in quite some time that still make you feel their love and not just the sex. Again, not easy to do.
Without giving anything away, I'd like to say I highly recommend reading this book if you're looking for an epic love in an unforgettable historical novel you'll read over and over again.
***I received this advanced copy novel in exchange for an honest review and this is most certainly an honest review***
