I listened to the Audible version of this book and I have to admit that I had a tough time turning it off! Lots of action and emotion.
After being tormented and tortured by her stepbrother, Madeline McDonald is forcibly betrothed to a very cruel man who brutally rapes her. Laird Alexander Grant gets a brief glimpse of Maddie's bruised face and is compelled to rescue her. He and his brothers, with help from two servants, find their way into the castle and manage to pull Maddie into safety. But that safety doesn't last long.
I loved the characters Maddie and Alex, and I loved-to-hate Kenneth and Niles. I did get a bit confused with the age of Alex's little sister, Jenny, but she seemed adorable. Perhaps one of my favorite characters was Alice, Maddie's handmaid, who added a touch of humor from time to time.
Glad to see there was a warning for mature content before I started reading. I was ready for it and it didn't bother me. Normally books that contain rape and violence against women go into my trash can. But because I was prepared, the situations simply added to the storyline and I was okay with it.
It was interesting to see the author dig into the emotions and thoughts a man would have when dealing with a woman who had been so traumatized. He wanted her, but cared enough to take things slow... very slow... even on their wedding night.
I have to admit that when I found out the reason why Kenneth gave Maddie to Niles, I was a bit surprised. Not at all what I expected.
