Explanation To Books Everlasting
Historical romance was born when the remarkable Kathleen E. Woodiwiss gifted the world with her groundbreaking love story, The Flame and the Flower. Now, twelve consecutive New York Times bestsellers later, "the first lady of the genre" (Publishers Weekly) returns with her most breathtaking masterwork to date—a glorious celebration of a secret love that is dangerous, irresistible, forbidden, and . . .Once, Abrielle's name was on the lips of every unwed nobleman in London as a proud exceptional lady coveted for her bearing, her breeding, her wit, and her beauty.
But when her stepfather—respected for his courage and valor during the Crusades—is denied his rightful title and the wealth that accompanies it, Abrielle finds herself suddenly disgraced, no longer a suitable match for any proper gentleman. Only one would still have her, though he desires no more than physical pleasure: the oafish and grotesque Desmond de Marlé. His dark and scandalous reputation is legend, and Abrielle has heard rumors that his first two wives perished by his hand. Yet no one else can rescue her once-proud family's honor and keep her stepfather from debtor's prison, so she is left with no choice but to accept the cruel and hateful de Marlé's offer of marriage and sacrifice her virtue to a scoundrel she fears and detests . . . even as she yearns for another lover.
Dashing, handsome, tall, and kind—a black-haired Scotsman with vivid blue eyes—Raven Seabern is an emissary for his king, and quite unlike any man Abrielle has ever encountered. From the very first moment their eyes meet, he intrigues and mesmerizes her—and dancing in his arms at a royal banquet leaves her weak with the desire to surrender. But their love can never be, for Abrielle is betrothed to a monster. And the well-being of everyone she cares for demands that she honor her promise. Still, the fire lit that night will not be doused. Raven knows he has found the true one and must never let her go—though secrets, deceptions, dishonor, and unimaginable peril will surely be their fate if they follow the dictates of their hearts.

I didn't log much about this book and I apologize for that. However, it was an amazing read. The history of how marriage and courtship looked like back then is breathtakingly told. The role of men and women are same and yet totally different in so many ways. It is not only a romance but a story of a fretting girl with a worried mother and protective step father who only want her to be happy. It is a story of determination and getting what you want. It is a story sacrificing for another'sNot as good as her others. I felt she tried to make it more than what it was. I was bored.
It's been a very long time since I've read a Kathleen Woodiwiss novel. I read many of them when I was in high school. I'm afraid to say, after so many years, the thrill wasn't there for me anymore. Maybe now that I've read so many truly literary novels in the intervening years, this stale, formulaic prose just bores me now. I used to be able to read one of these novels in a day or two. This one seemed to drag...I had to keep putting it down and reading other more interesting things to keep my
EVERLASTING is the last book by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss. Miss Woodiwiss' books were the first books that I remember enjoying as a teen, well adult books. I admit, I enjoyed some of her books better than others, and I have mixed feelings about this book.From posts from her son, Miss Woodiwiss passed away before completing Everlasting. I don't know how much of the published book is her work, but her touches are missing. I would have loved to have seen what this book could have been had she lived.
I had a wish to read the sort of bodice ripper romances that I had devoured in college so went back to check if there's any book left to read by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, thought I had finished reading all, but there, still a couple of books in the not read category and thus Everlasting. The thing about reading books from authors that you had once loved to death is that it might not feel as delicious as those you have read before. It could be that your tastes have changed or your whole likes and
I read this book about 3/4 of the way through before I gave up on it. Do not get me wrong. Kathleen Woodiwiss is among my favorite writers, but I honestly don't think this book was written by her. If I' allowed to speculate, I think maybe she had a rough draft of the premise of the book before she took ill and was unable to finish the book before she passed away. Maybe someone in her camp felt an obligation to her fans to finish the book. However whoever it was, does not come close to having Ms.
DNF at 15pagesI am not the target audience for HR set in 1100s. One of my favorite (albeit from about 20yrs ago) HR is by this author, but that could be a one off. Not sure I'll investigate any more of her books.
