The romance is slow to build but hot and tender. The cover art by Jane Holmes and Anna Tif Sikorska is eye catching, I love it.Christian and William are both sons of nobility and live in a time (Medieval) when the church and society fear homosexuality (while ignoring it if Royalty are involved.) There is absolutely no way these two can be a couple – except that Eli Easton manages to find a beautiful solution to their problem. And it left me a sour taste, instead of a big smile I usually wear when I finish a book I truly enjoyed. The reason why I can’t give the book an higher rating is the ending part, I like happy endings and here of course the characters were lucky to have their own, but the author decided to give me more informations about their time together, I can’t say more because I don’t want to spoil the ending,for me it was too much.
I had a hard time with the reading, but it’s my fault, my English isn’t good enough for historicals, I often had to stop and search for words. The book is surely well done, the author is a guarantee, she can write, she can think interesting plots, she always gives me awesome and well delined characters. I have to admit I’m still not sure if I liked it or not, that’s why I’m going with three stars as rating.įrom the beginning it was pretty clear how much Christian and William were into each other, it was not just an attraction but they were nursing a more important feeling, the kind that last forever, through some difficulties and killings. Still with this new edition, I decided to give it a chance. It’s a partnership that will test every strand of his moral fiber, and, eventually, his understanding of the meaning of duty, honor, and love.Īlthough Eli Easton is one of my favorite authors, I skipped this title when it was first released in 2013 cause I’m a not a huge fan of historicals in the mm genre. When he takes up a quest to rescue his sister from her abusive lord of a husband, he’s forced to enlist the help of Sir Christian.
He’s determined to live up to his own ideal of a gallant knight. Sir William Corbett, a large and fierce warrior known as the Lion, has pushed his unnatural desires down all his life. Being smaller than his six brutish half-brothers, he learned to survive by using his wits and his gift for strategy, earning him the nickname the Crow.
Sir Christian Brandon was raised in a household where he was hated for his unusual beauty and for his parentage. I n medieval England, duty is everything, personal honor is more valued than life itself, and homosexuality is not tolerated by the church or society.
