I love Kresley Cole and thought I had read everything of hers. The three MacCarrick Brothers are cursed. It's written in an ancient tomb called the Leabhar nan Sùil-radharc, the Book of Fates. It basically states that the three sons of the tenth MacCarrick will know no love, marry or have children. They are the last of their line and death and torment will come to those caught in their wake. It said their father would die young and he did. The last three lines can't be read because blood covers the words. They wholeheartedly believe in this curse. One of them was engaged and his fiance died the night before the wedding. They no longer want to test fate. Courtland MacCarrick is a mercenary who had a falling out with the man he worked for so the man ordered him to be killed by an assassin’s order called the Rechazados. Once the order is made, it cannot be taken back. They failed because Court threw himself over a bridge into a violent river. Annalia Llorente lives in a small country between France and Spain called Andorra. Not much has ever happened there until a Spanish traitor named Pascal and his Rechazados and his Scottish mercenaries showed up. She cannot stand them so when she finds a badly injured Scottish man lying on the river bank, she questions her own judgement when she decides to help him. Annalia is, in my opinion, an uptight, judgmental shrew. One of my biggest complaints about women being rescued by the hero is when they stupidly try to get away from them when they know a truly evil person is out to kill them or worse. Annalia did this so much that I was cheering for the bad guys to hurry up and kill her so Court could find another woman who wasn't such a spoiled brat. I did like Olivia though. She was Pascal's jaded daughter who knew how to take advantage of certain opportunities. I did end up liking Annalia but it took a long time. Besides not liking a main character, I totally enjoyed the book. I have already purchased the next one. www.paranormalromanceslut.com ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

With If You Dare, Cole introduces a thrilling new romance trilogy featuring fierce Scottish brothers with dangerous lives, dark desires, and a deadly curse. Can he exact revenge? High in the Pyrenees, a band of mercenaries led by Courtland MacCarrick wages war for General Reynaldo Pascal. When Court turns on the evil general, Pascal orders him killed but Court narrowly escapes and exacts revenge by kidnapping Pascal's exquisite Castilian fiancée. Can she deny her passions? Lady Annalía Tristán Llorente despises her towering, barbaric captor almost as much as she does Pascal. Her inexplicable attraction to the Highlander only fuels her fury. But nothing will stop her from returning to Pascal -- for if she doesn't wed him, she signs her brother's death warrant, as well as her own. Can there be love between them? From the moment Court discovers that Anna's prim façade masks a fiery, brave lass, his heart's ensnared, and he dares to defy the curse that has shadowed his life -- to walk with death or walk alone. But Pascal vows that he'll hunt the two, never stopping until he's destroyed them both. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

I keep reading Kresley Cole books hoping one will finally hook me in but I seem to be the outlier in all of my reading groups lol
I think her books have all the potential but they have the tendency to make me avoid reading.
I have the next book in this series - which I plan to read - but if that's a miss for me then I'm going to move on from KC and be happy for the folks that continue to enjoy her works. ( )
