Connor makes a plan to check out the jail and find out if it's a trap. Connor is focused on finding his missing brother and preventing him from storming the prison to release a fellow rebel. Safety I was really turned off when Connor has sex with OW (off page) after meeting Susannah, flirting with her, and they have a nice friendship developing. There is no sex in this book, only kisses. She does resist him for a minute but he does a decent grovel and they get engaged for the HEA. Sure, he wound up drunk every night, but that's not enough for me, I'm bloodthirsty, I guess. He knew she loved him and he walked away and left her bereft. He alone was the one to decide if they would be together. Connor had all the control over the situation. I think what bothered me most was the imbalance of power. He does eventually come to his senses, but I wanted him to suffer more. While Connor is focused on saving his brother and getting away as soon as possible so he won't be tempted by Susannah. These two go through a lot of push and pull (mostly by Connor) with Susannah being sweet and loyal and putting on a bright face to hide her hurt. She isn't interested and is hurt by Connor's coldness towards her, even though she knows she can't marry a simple horse trainer.

Susannah, for her part, is being pressured to marry and one of the hopefuls comes to the horse race to pursue her. He even trots out a few OW to push her away. So he begins to pull away and treats Susannah in a very cold way, avoiding her wherever possible. Not after the way the English have treated the Irish. But Connor is a bit of a snob and can't fathom the idea of falling in love, let alone marrying, an English girl. The romance develops quite nicely between the MCs, and the secondary plot with the younger brother keeps things moving. But then Connor turned into a big fat jerk and did something that made me not like him as much. I was really cheering them on to get their HEA. They are equals in wit, intelligence, personality and their love of horses. Susannah, the daughter of a duke, is spending this summer visiting her grandmother. Connor is in England to track down his younger brother who believes himself to be some sort of Irish Rebel but is in grave danger to a traitor who is turning against the rebellion. Connor is an Irish Earl in disguise as the head horse trainer for Susannah's grandmother. So a hea seems impossible and the H acts accordingly.Įvery now and then I like a nice historical romance. Their relationship has a forbidden tag not just because of the stated class chasm but also a political divide that's seemingly impossible to bridge. They remain within the bounds of their social stations - for most parts -while communicating on a private non-verbal level! *sigh* For almost the whole book, their mutual love is clearly obvious to the reader- and to each other but remains verbally unacknowledged. And all with just looks and smiles and undercurrents. They spark off instantly and progress decorously to become (almost) friends but their undeniable bond deepens into a rare, once in a lifetime connection.Īnd do they romance? Fiery, exciting, passionate - enough to send me in raptures.

The h comes to spend possibly the last summer as a free woman at her grandmother’s estate as her father is pushing her to marry. He is rightly described as ‘lordly’ and ‘noble man’ by the h’s grandmother and others as he stands heads and shoulders (literally and otherwise) above the other male specimens around him. The H is actually an Irish earl (but, of course) serving incognito as a horse trainer as he has dangerous reasons to be in the area.

But her grandmother’s Irish horse trainer jolts her into a yearning wakefulness. She is a veritable sleeping beauty who has spent 2-3 seasons bored by men who do not interest her. And Susanna is the archetypal EL h - beautiful (beyond belief), spirited but empathetic and grounded. With this book, if we leave out the anachronisms, the brow-raising easing of social norms, the distortion of history/geography/politics (which I barely care about), it is a romance reader’s dream come true! So go for the story and leave out the extraneous.Ĭonnor O’Neill is a hot delicious alpha-hunk of a hero, his serving status notwithstanding. Sadly, very little of her work is available as e-books. Lange is one of my top favorite HR authors.
