For the heart to know passion, the soul must know surrender
Sable St. Germain, ebony-haired love child of Raven Barrancourt and Charles St. Germain….. her diamond-bright will ruled the wild and barren scottish hills where she grew to womanhood.
Sir Morgan Carey, renegade nobleman, captain of the clipper Defiance, bound on a secret mission of danger…. A danger as nothing compared to the searing heat kindled by Sable’s brilliant untouched beauty.
Now and Forever…. His bold need frightened her; her towering pride derove her wanting heart form him-until destiny overwhelmed them on a journey to the sensuous palaces of Constantinople.
How vain to deny love’s power! Yet how they tried. They feared, and yet desired, the passion recklessly mounting, calling them to surrender to the fierce truth that bound their flesh.
This is probably the oldest book I’ve ever owned, I bought it when I was in my second semester of university. The moment I laid my eyes on the book, I knew that I had to have this book. The cover was so oldies but the inscription below that said “For the heart to know passion, the soul must know surrender”, really captured my heart.
This book probably the sequel from Wrap Me In Splendor, because I find the heroes of that book is now the parents on this one.
Sable St. Germain is the English Rose. Her youth beauty is so famous in the English society, yet she found all those society gathering so boring for her taste. She loves her country home, for it offers her the sanctuary of the bustling London.
When she first met Sir Morgan Carey, was at a party. She was terrified by him, for he was tall, broad-shoulder, and so intimidating. Yet when he touch her with his kiss, she felt something that never been there before. Oh yeah…. Sir Morgan Carey really kissed her like no one before, evoking something so primal in her years of womanhood.
Sir Morgan Carey was also find her exciting. This child-woman he kissed in the balcony of a ballroom dance, yet he knew he can’t have her further, for he respected her father and is in need for the man’s help, so he will only ask for her father and leave her.
At first Sable misunderstood about his coming to her home meeting with her father. She thought he was asking for her hand, and when she found the truth, she was humiliated beyond reasons. And when her father got an accident from a horse riding, she decided she’ll go accompany her brother in a journey of a lifetime.
During her voyage, her ship was being subjected by a privateers, and she was thrown overboard. And in the morning, she learned that she was being rescued by Morgan Carey, the last man she expected to see again.
She was cared and tended by Morgan himself. Everyday he spend his day and nights caring for her. Until she awoke and find him by her side.
Morgan Carey never expected that his journey will be filled with temptation of kissing Sable. Her innocence kisses tempted him so, that he decide he will bed her until he finish wanting her, but of course Sable won’t let him do that, for losing her innocence will brought shame to her family, but the passion they feel for each other was so strong that they can’t denied.
After several attempts on rescuing Morgan’s brother succeed, Sable found herself being picked up by her father and returned to her home, when later she found out that she was pregnant with Morgan’s baby.
Determined to make Morgan see, that she was belong to him, she decided to go and find him again. But one of Morgan bitter family captured her and made her a prisoner.
Learning that Sable has become a prisoner of his cousins, Morgan set his heart on rescuing her, there he learned that his love for Sable had already grown, and he can’t let her go.
This book was so great that reading its almost 500 pages was nothing. I read it happily and eagerly. The romance was sweet and sexy. The banter between Morgan and Sable, the wanting between the two of them were described really well by the author.
The action scene was also good, I love the part how her father really protected his family and how he’ll challenge Morgan Carey himself when he found out that his daughter was unhappy after her voyage with him.
I also love the way Ellen Tanner Marsh described Sable, I think this chick is just too beautiful for her own good, but….. that’s how romance isn’t it.
This book is definitely a keeper, been reading it for hundreds time… never bored of it, so… I hope you enjoy reading it too.
