Customer Reviews

Compassion, passion, honor and more!

I totally agree with the first reviewer. I have read this book multiple times on google play and finally decided this book needs to be in hand. Love both main characters as they are not simply rich/poor, brooding/impetuous, etc. These two have a background that makes them stubborn, guarded, cynical and, at the same time, fiercely loyal, loving. These are people you can really like. The characters that make up their families are well drawn and add so much also. Wish Ms. Minger would right a sequel to the story of this couple. Neither is a character you instantly dislike and have to work to like. There strengths are brought forward immediately and because they are so perfectly drawn you can sympathize with each and root for them and laugh out loud with them as another reviewer said. Excellent and leaves you wanting more.

Tender, heartwarming romance

If Lord Donovan Trent had his way, he would spend his days carelessly wooing the women of London society. Instead he found himself banished to the English countryside of Cornwall, forced by the decrees of his father's will to run his family tin mines and find a country bride. The last thing the handsome lord needed was a local lass sticking her note into his affairs, but that seemed to be exactly what Corisande Easton had in mind.. Corie had spent her whole life struggling to help those less fortunate than herself. When she heard that Lord Donovan had arrived in Cornwall she seized the opportunity to congront him about his family's mistreatment of the overworked tinners. Donovan and Corie soon found their tempers flaring while fighting to deny their fiery passions - until a secret business arrangement forced them into each other's arms... (Text taken from book's back cover) This book is great. The romance between the two main characters is, in my opinion, one of the best romances i have ever read. There is such chemistry between the two protagonists.I absoltuely love the tenderness with which Donovan treats Corie who, although at first appears to him to be an ill tempered woman, he quickly turns very protective towards her. Corie has a scar on her cheek and because of this she feels ugly. She is hurt b y other people's comments about her scar, especially because htey have no idea how she had got it. Donovan quickly turns exptremely protective towards Corie, even though at first she continually snaps at him and their tempers clash. For him, Corie is beautiful and he never lets her scar marr his attraction towards her, he barely even notices it. There are some especially tender scenes in this book that are still some of my all-time favourites. If you want to read a book where the two main characters's relationship totally engages you then buy this one. You will nto be disapointed. Its got everythign a good romance should have - beautiful romance, some mystery and also some humour (some of the arguments between Corie and Donovan are quite hilarious) The sequel to this book is My Runaway Heart - also a very beautiful book. Its really a pity that Ms Minger is not writing books anymore...
