Ratings and reviews

A glorious story about love at first sight and Kismet's part in bringing two bold and beautiful young individuals together for eternity!

A captivating, exciting tale that weaves a spell from the first page when he sees her at a ball. Lisandro, Duke of Tolosa, noticed a woman wearing a different style of gown, not that of the usual. When she turned around "Lisandro was certain that his heart had stopped. For a moment or two, he simply stared..... Perfection. A pair of warm coffee-colored eyes stared back. He smiled at her. The slow deliberate blink she gave in return was all the encouragement he needed." Unfortunately, the beautiful woman was Maria, the daughter of his family's greatest enemy so there seemed no hope. But fate steps in, as it often does, and Lisandro is asked to help find the missing Maria who has been kidnaped. Oh yes, then the journey begins! Lisandro is such a sweetheart and is very attracted to Maria. It just takes her a bit to trust him. But could these sworn enemies ever come together? Don't miss this wonderful story told by the fabulous Sasha Cottman. I cannot wait for the next one!

The moment Lisandro de Aguirre, Duke of Tolosa, saw her, he was smitten. The problem? She is Maria de Elizondo Garza, daughter of the Duke of Villabona. The two families have been feuding for a century, so she is off limits. Then she is kidnapped and her brother comes to Lisandro to help find and rescue her. And rescue her he does. As they work their way back to Spain, they develop a plan to catch those responsible. Oh, and they fall in love. The story is set during a time of political uncertainty in Spain. People must take care. Opinions heard by the wrong people can be dangerous. This is a romance and an adventure. Lisandro and Maria are wonderful together. Both are smart and confident. Their story holds your attention start to finish. A good story with a great ending where we find out what the feud was about and how it was ended. I recommend it. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
