An Irresistible Shadow is a story about Evey, the daughter of a Baron in the middle ages, living dangerously on the edge (literally) between the English and the Scottish and a mysterious man that has been tasked to protect the barony, along with it- the Baron's wily daughter.Evey enjoys a relationship of mutual respect with her Father, which is a blessing for her because her wild heart would never allow her to be tied down, let alone wed....in a loveless marriage as was to be expected from betrothals in this time period.Cue Gabriel- shaking Evey's resolve and causing her to question both her mind and her heart while she tries to root out a traitor within their midst, save her Father's life and England from a war with the Scottish.This story, save for one scene, is a very lighthearted love story. The heroine is intelligent and stubborn and no damsel-in-distress. The stories' hero is shaped from the shadowy, hooded hotties from Assassin's Creed and is your typical, yet loveable, knight-in-shining armor (so to speak).The story is very well-written and it flows wonderfully. It never leaves you bored, feeling as though you need to skim over certain parts. The author shows that she actually put some time into learning about the time period by the language used in the book. There is also a lot of lighthearted banter and sword-fighting fun and if you enjoy historical romance, you can't go wrong with this read!~*This Bitch Loves Books*~[...]
