Prisoner of My Desire | Johanna Lindsey

so-so

When people talk about the history of romance, this historical is one of the ones they always mention and I finally gave it a go. The writing is compelling, the 12th century setting and circumstances fascinating, and the romance is steamy. It was hard for me to get through because the way these characters initially connect is pretty problematic. I kept reading and I‘m glad I did but I nearly put it down several times and it is hard to recommend.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Solomon's Crown: A Novel | Natasha Siegel

pan

Philip of France & Richard the Lionheart discover a mutual spark of attraction @ the same time Phillip is establishing his reign & Richard is dealing w/ a controlling father & an imprisoned mother.

Interesting characters & good scene setting, but 2 problems for me. I wasn‘t invested in the romance, & I‘m not usually into books that reimagine established historical figures so much. W/ a different background, I would have liked it better.🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑

Kenyazero Sounds like a disappointing jaunt into a less-visited genre! 🫤 3d

BookmarkTavern @Kenyazero The narrators were great though, which is mostly why I kept on with it. 3d
