Prisonnière De Ton Coeur (2010) - Plot & Excerpts

This book takes place in the time just after the death of James I, king of Scotland, and during the clan revolutions that followed. Torin McLeren, the Laid McLeren, had his lanbds burned by a neighboring clan, the McBoyds. He stole the daughter of the clan, Shannon, on her way to an arranged marriage that would insure her father a larger army to assit in defeating the McLeren clan and to insure his alleigence to the Atholl, the insurgent who was trying to become king. Shannon has been raised to believe that women are of little use, even if you were the daughter of the Laird. She is stubborn and strong and used to the abuse of her father, yet the church said she is to obey him no matter what. She learns that her captor is kinder to her than her father ever was. The book takes the reader on the journey as she falls in love and learns her fate as a member of the McBoyd family after the revolution is foiled. 3.75This is my first introduction to Mary Wine and I'm really glad I experienced it. She popped my cherry in quite a reasonable fashion. At the start I was clawing at my kindle hoping that Torin (best name ever) and Shannon would finally get to spend some quality time together. They are both wrapped up in a Romeo/Juliet kinda relationship. Shannon's dad is a totally bad dude. He kills a heap of Torin's clan in an unprovoked attack. In retaliation Torin takes the bad dudes daughter...Shannon...suck on that bad dude.Now Shannon is a confident, super head strong kind of chick. She doesn't take crap from anyone...well except her father (the bad dude). So there is a lot of wicked bantering between her and Torin.Up until 47% they don't spend a great deal of time together...After 47%? Well lets just say her lady bits get a great work out. It goes from not a lot of interaction between protagonists to being a fully fledged race for who can have the most orgasms.One thing I did learn from this book is that my vagina is broken. I know, I know, I have a problem with TMI, but seriously I have never once in my life felt any mans hot seed spurt inside me. I want a temperature sensitive vagina like Shannon gawd damn it. She was feeling his hot little swimmers do there merry little thing all over her womb. So. Jealous. Does anyone else have a broken vagina like me??Anyway, back onto something else other than my non-temperature sensitive vagina...I enjoyed this story. The Scottish accent was TO DIE FOR. Loved it. Torin was a hottie. I'd do him in a heartbeat (then maybe I would get to feel his super hot swimmers on my womb). Things that I didn't love to death were Shannon and her need to constantly push Torin away. Dude!! He has super hot swimmers that fire up your womb! WTF! Joking. She was strong, didn't take crap from men which I loved, but at times she did become a little annoying. Another aspect that would've made my enjoyment better was maybe not so much sex in the second half *ducks for cover* I KNOW, RIGHT! Me wanting less sex! My husband would be shocked. I would've loved to see a little more connection between them out of the bedroom. But all in all, a GREAT introduction to this talented author. Can't wait to read more of her sexy Scots.

What do You think about Prisonnière De Ton Coeur (2010)?

Great 1st in the Highlander Trilogy with a Feisty Heroine!This is the first in Wine's 15th century Highlander trilogy (see list below), and it's a good one. Great action, wonderful hero and heroine and sexy love scenes. The story opens in 1437. James I has been murdered and the lowland McBoyd clan has brutally attacked the lands of Highland laird Torin McLeren. The McBoyd laird, a crude and heartless man, is seeking power in aligning himself with the Earl of Atholl, a contender for the Scottish throne, and hence the attack on the McLeren clan, loyal to the Stuarts. The McBoyd laird has betrothed his only daughter, who he values not at all, to the Earl of Atholl's nephew in an attempt to gain fighting men and to further cement the treacherous alliance.Rather than attack the McBoyd clan, Torin seeks to foil their plan to support the Atholl by kidnapping the McBoyd daughter on her way to be wed. Shannon McBoyd is disgusted by the actions of her father and brothers but has been compliant to avoid her father's physical abuse. Inside she is a spitfire and Torin will have his hands full as he attempts to hold her and still be honorable.I liked the fact Torin is constant throughout the story. And, his friend, Connor Lindsey, laird of the Lindsey clan, is a charming and loyal man who is well set up to be the hero in the next in the series. You will like them both. One of the many things I like about Wine's romances is that she takes care with the history. It's not just set in Scotland but there is an historical framework of some interest for the novel. She also includes details that provide a clear picture of the living conditions of the time. While Wine's stories are not sweeping sagas, they are well written and engaging. I admire her ability to give us a feeling for the language of the time while still keeping it modern enough to be understandable. I recommend this one--and suggest you read the trilogy in order.The Highlander trilogy:To Conquer a HighlanderHighland HellcatHighland Heat

Once again I find myself into "Highlander" stories - best ever is "Ransom" by Julie Garwood so if you like Highlander/Scotland/English type stories pick up this book for it's great. You learn allot about what went on back then...Now this was a story with a fast moving plot and a lot of action. The battle scenes description as well as the description of the dungeon was great. That was enough reality for me to feel firmly planted in the time period. Which makes for better understand about the times There was a lot of great tension as Torin and Shannon got to know each other better, too. I liked how the author showed the culture of the time and how men treated women in general, which made her captor's decent treatment of her all the more heroic. Great read
