HR-ML's Reviews > His Wicked Promise

Finished this 10/08/23. I read PB, published in 2000.
2 stars.

Medieval w/ sex scenes. This couple Egan & Glenda
argued constantly & exchanged cruel remarks. They
acted like sex would paper over their animosity &
distrust.

Glenda lived in the Highlands x 8 years & wanted to
return to her castle in the Lowlands. She & Niall were
married for 5 years & he died a violent death. For 3 yrs
afterward she lived w/ Laird of MacKay clan, Cameron
(Niall's bro.) & his wife Meredith. Glenda perseverated
on Niall's memory-enough already! She didn't need
to insult most men in comparison to her late beloved.

Cam selected Egan to escort Glenda to her castle. They
discovered it in ill-repair and her troops fled. And a
band of bad men terrorized the area nr Glenda's castle.

This required suspension of disbelief. The mystery aspect:
too obvious. The love story- felt lacking. Difficult to like
a story where the MCs were unlikeable human beings.
I tried to find their personal strengths. Genuine gratitude
should have been their goal. I'm surprised I finished this.

IMO this author has written more interesting books than
this one.
