Review: I like more the romance than the sex

I think Denise Dommig is the only author that can make me believe in instant attraction and love at first sight. Elliane was a giant sweetheart, and Ms. Dommi's ability to write consistent character traits as always shines through. What are her strongest traits? her empathy and simplicity and honesty, and that's what makes her so incredibly endearing as a character. She's no genius and can be rather naive, but that doesn't make her stupid and she doesn't have any unrealistic expectations of her life and her future. As always in the author's work, I also love how the drama almost never seems to involve the protagonists lying or making misguided interpretations of the other's acts.SPOILERS BELOW.I do particularly like that the hero wanted to 'take care' of the heroine as realistically possible as their positions would make it possible, given their positions circumstances. In my opinion, it only made better the predictable ending a little sweeter.I also love the familial love between the protagonists and their half siblings. So many times in these genre of novels you see the bastard mistreated and shunned, it's nice to see the love in these novels doesn't really come only in romantic flavor. It rounds and expands the universe.(that said, our hero without any mail or anything against a dozen other armed knights, no matter how green, was a little unrealistic...)
