I must admit that after reading the preview chapters some months back, I had decided not to read this book because of the heroine's abuse. I even ended up reading the stories of the children of Ram and Caedmon before I decided to go back and see what I've missed. I am so glad I read this book. I found both Hugh and Antoine worthy of the title Hero, in that they were very decent guys - honorable and complete with their own flaws. I found Devona and Sybilla to be strong heroines and worthy of their heroes. I must say though that I did find Devona a tad weepy and clingy and wished she wouldn't be so 'helpless'. But then again with all that she's gone through maybe she is justified to be a bit weepy and clingy. I liked Sybilla's character a bit more in that she conducted herself with such dignity. I do enjoy Ms. Markland's stories because it always comes with a good dose of history. And I really enjoyed that in this story you get 2 love stories and it doesn't take years before everything is resolved and they 'live happily ever after'.
