![]() ![]() ![]() She was only now beginning to realise quite how much, and quite how dangerous it was to her. “Because everyone else calls you Tess,” he said. There was a smile at the back of his eyes. So often they take a chance and trust one another, and I greatly appreciated the resulting lack of angst. Yes, they start off with secrets between them that are only revealed as the story goes on, but when it comes to most of their emotions or thoughts, they do not resort to the romance-standard of pouting or giving the cold shoulder, which always results in only more hurt feelings and misunderstandings. ![]() One of the things I loved most about Owen and Tess’s relationship was that they were both so mature and honest. ![]() They are antagonistic towards one another, but not to the point you sometimes find in romances when the leading characters cross over into being immature, annoying, and petty. There is an immediate spark between them and their exchanges are so much fun to read. Owen and Tess were wonderfully written I found them interesting, likable, and well-developed. While I had some problems with the book overall, the writing was very good and the main characters drew me in right from the beginning. The heroine, Tess, is not my favorite type for historical romances, but I have been trying to read outside of my romance “comfort zone.” I’m happy to say that with this book, my taking a chance most definitely paid off. This was my first Nicola Cornick romance, and I’ll admit that after reading the summary of Desired I was somewhat apprehensive. ![]()
