Book Description
He is her salvation, her lover ... her destiny
Mary waits, trembling in the darkness -- the prisoner of a fearsome tormentor who would have her at any cost. Then a mysterious cloaked figure appears at her dungeon door. A champion has come to free the beautiful lass and carry her off to safety, with arms as powerful and sure as the trees of the forest.
He calls himself Michael, the Dark One. Though he must keep his face hidden from her, Mary is captivated by his strength and kindness ... and irresistibly drawn by his masculine fire toward a most willing and sensuous surrender. But the warrior who once held her captive will stop at nothing to reclaim his prize -- and if Mary does not return to him, many innocents will die. Yet how will she survive if she is forced to abandon the most passionate love she has ever known?

Donna's own adventures have taken her to England, Ireland, and Scotland. She has walked the fields where battles were fought centuries ago, toured haunted castles, stood where beheadings were commonplace, explored the mystic mounds of long ago, and collected a plethora of memoriesand research that will live long in her heart and mind. She also loves exploring and photographing old abandoned homes, and she often takes long walks in the woodswith camera in hand. She feels her life is rich and full,having three terrific sons, two fantastic daughters-in-law, an endless supply of friends, a loving dog, and a crazyblack, one-eyed cat named Bear.

When Mary is again endangered, Magnus sends his best protégé, The Dark One, Michael to rescue a recaptured Mary. He succeeds in freeing the badly battered Mary who is unable to speak. Though he has rescued many people in recent years without looking back, something about Mary touches Michael's inner soul. Willing to risk his life too free those abused by the Church, Michael knows he would go to hell for her. Mary feels the same way as she wonders if she feels hero worship for her savior or simply is in love with him.
This engaging medieval romance uses an inquisition as a backdrop to a dark suspense romantic thriller. The return of Magnus (star of THE LEGENDARY WARRIOR) adds depth to understanding the likable lead couple though there reactions to dangerous situations seem to ho hum and accepting. Still readers will root for the beleaguered twosome to overcome their enemies and their doubts to forge a permanent binding relationship.

Although there seems to be a mystical draw between Mary and "The Dark One" there is actally different forces that have brought these two wounded people together. This does not mean that they are going to live happily ever after since they are forced to separate and go different directions. Or do they?
Mary and The Dark One are compelling characters but there are moments when the action and motivation of the story drags on. Not having had the pleasure of reading the previous title "Legenary Lover" the importance of Magnus was lost on this reader although I did enjoy this portion of the story. There are plenty of twist and turns and the actual identity of "The Dark One" (he is shrouded through more than half the story) was a bit of a surprise I did feel rather cheated in the end. Or rather felt the ending was anti-climatic. Still I would not dismiss this read out of hand. It did have it's moments and the "true love" that Mary and her dark rescure feel for each other is romantic and compelling.
