Review: It's the Women Who Make the Stories

I do like a story that leads to another story...the men are rather predictable...they are rogues after all. The women are the real difference in these stories. Ysabella is a common wench who turns out to be uncommon. I loved that her driving force was to do the right thing...no matter how miserable it made her life...it was the right thing to do! Evangeline is driven by her sense of duty to her heritage...she has made every decision about her life based on setting Inverfyre, the family holding, toward a path of success as dictated by lore. Lady Aileen has the ultimate bond with the Hawk...they've been lovers through several generations...though he would deny the visions of their past that both of them experience in a heated kiss...talk about a chemical reaction! There was a side romance in The Warrior that was a nice addition to the story. All of these women are smart and often it is their husbands...or soon to be husbands...that are outsmarted by them. After this series comes the Jewels of Kinfairlie. I just finished the first book, The Beauty Bride. Loved it! These are the tales of the grandchildren of Ysabella and Merlyn.
