The bluest of blood; the boldest of hearts; the de Montfortes will take your breath away."
Irish Captain Ruaidri O' Devir has no love for the English. Taken from his family and pressed into the Royal Navy at a young age, he is now a commander for the fledgling American Continental Navy, hand-picked by John Adams himself to steal a potent new explosive from the British. Ruaidri expects to be successful in his mission. What he doesn't expect is to fall in love with the sister of the man he's crossed an ocean to abduct...
Beautiful Lady Nerissa de Montforte is the youngest sibling in a powerful and aristocratic English family. Fiercely guarded by her overprotective brothers, she pines for love after a longtime betrothal was cruelly cut short. When she accompanies her brother to a demonstration of his new explosive, she never dreams that her wildest longings to find love and freedom are about to be fulfilled ... by a man who is wrong for her in every single way except the one that matters most...
The spectacular conclusion to the internationally bestselling DE MONTFORTE series by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Danelle Harmon!
Book Plot - 5 STARS
What an amazing book! I enjoyed the plot and the interaction of all the characters from this book who also appeared in previous books to this series. Rich with descriptive imagery and fully developed characters the reader will be enthralled with this book.
I felt a great deal of compassion for Lady Nerissa de Montforte as she tried to overcome her disappointment of the failed engagement with Perry and her older brothers interference with her life. Her feisty rebellion against her restraints was handle with finesse and brought tears to this readers eyes.
Compassion is the word I think of in regards to Irish Captain Ruaidri O' Devir. How he survived his childhood to become the adult he was shows great strength of character and a dark desire for revenge. This is one character that the term "Don't judge a book by it's cover" fits to a T. He really made this story work. Ruaidri won my heart from the first page and many times throughout the book I had tears in my eyes regarding situations he and Nerissa got into. But for me the most memorable was the conversation with Narissa's oldest brother, Lucien and he in Boston it's caused a pang in my heart and tears to flow.
This book is an awesome display of family love, honor and forgiveness.
Narrator - 4.25 STARS
Narrator Wayne Farrell did an outstanding job on the male voices and accents. In the beginning I struggled with his female voices but the book was so well written that eventually I forgot my feelings regarding this and began enraptured in his narrating.
Received an audible copy in exchange for a fair review.
