LOVE IT!!! LOVE IT!!! LOOOVE IT!!! I love this book. I've read it over and over and continue to do so. Trystan and Mair are two young people who mistakenly share a steamy kiss. One thing lead to another and they get "excited" right against the wall... hello? They both regret it but deep down inside they are still simmering for more... and boy do they! Through bitter fights and fighting feelings, Trystan and Mair "regret" their interludes. When they are together... again Trystan finally realizes his love for Mair. Mair already knew she loved Trystan, she'd been in love with him since she was a child! But happiness is still far away because of insecurities, nasty-cheating fiance's. Family intervenes and take control and solve their problems for them... LOVE PREVAILS!!
A Warrior's Kiss While I liked the characters in this book, I found them second rate. The hero just seemed to lack something. He came across as weak and immature to me. And as for the heroine, I couldn't shake the feeling that she'd probably slept with every man she'd encountered. I don't mind that she wasn't a virgin, but I couldn't understand if she loved the hero so much and since her childhood, why would she give her "favors" so freely?could have been better While I applaud Ms. Moore's attempt to create characters out of the rather ordinary mold found in romance books, I found the ending took way too long to come about. We meet Mair, a pretty ale gal who lusts after the youngerst son of the Baron, Trystan, the first page. They meet, spare and go at it against the wall. In the beginning of the story. She is no maiden but rather is pleased to acknowledge her sexual desires and good for her. She even has an illigitmate son by Trystan's older cousin, Dylan. I liked Mair, she was bold, sassy and very much in love with Trystan since they were children. He is my problem. He is the younger son and comes upon a scheme that will enable him - he feels - to step out of his brothers/cousins/fathers shadow, to marry a well-born Norman beauty, who is about as warm as an ice cube. He is petulant, stubborn and not terribly smart. He even tells Mair that if he got her with child, he will not acknowledge the babe for fear it will ruin his chances of marrying the Norman gal. Huh? This is the man she loves? He goes ahead and gets engaged to the icy Norman and we have an entire book to sift through before he realizes hey, I love Miar, not ice queen. It just took too long to end and Trystan was not bold enough or man enough to make credible decisions. But, again, I really do applaud Ms. Moore for thankfully shelving the missish virgin for a change.
