Dear Reader,
I'd been prowling the crumbling
ruins of Castle Weyrcraig for so long that I could no longer remember if I was
man or beast. Then one stormy night the superstitious Highlanders of Ballybliss
decided to leave a helpless virgin bound to a stake in the castle courtyard to
satisfy my insatiable appetites.
My demands might strike terror in
the hearts of men, but this bold beauty dared to defy me. After she informed me
that she didn't believe in dragons, I had no choice but to make her my
prisoner--or risk being exposed to those I had sought to deceive with my
dangerous masquerade.
Soon I found myself stealing into
the moonlit tower just to watch her sleep. Little does she know that beneath
this beast's gruff exterior beats the passionate heart of a man. Gwendolyn
Wilder may not believe in dragons, but I intend to use all my sensual wiles to
teach her to believe in something even more magical--true love.
Eternally yours,
The Dragon of Weyrcraig
I will start by saying that I fell in love with Teresa
Medeiros when I was a teenager and that her books are something to be treasured
and re-read over and over. This book is no exception.
Set in Scotland in the 1700s, the reader is instantly
drawn into the beauty and romance of the highlands, and the romance writing of
time gone by, where the reader is sucked into the story and it's one remembered
for years to come. I can't count how many times I've re-read this novel, but it
stands out as a truly memorable novel - something rare in this day. All
characters, minor and major, make you cheer for them and sigh with them.
One thing that I love about Ms. Medeiros' writing is
how easy it is to become completely absorbed. Her writing keeps you itching for
more (generally resulting in completing each novel in one sitting), along with
being beautifully paced. We aren't instantly thrown into a romance between our
characters (combined with an excellent plot), and the slow-build is perfectly
paced. Not only does she focus on the romance between our characters, but also
adds an intriguing plot that combined with the romance, result in the perfect
novel.
There aren't enough good things I can say about this
novel, but one that I strongly encourage anyone that is a fan of romance to
read.
