Beauty and the beast, a new twist.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Destined To Be Mine (Paperback)
This is a new twist to the beauty and the beast theme and a totally wonderful story. One learns that Duncan Roderick isn't hiding scars behind his veil, but something else entirely. In this book an embittered man finds love in a woman determined to keep him. If you like beauty and the beast and wish for a new slant on the old tale then, Destined To Be Mine by Colleen Faulkner is the story to read.

Could have been better,
By D. Elder "Faira" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Destined To Be Mine (Paperback)
Duncan Roderick, the 10 year old son of the Earl of Cleaves, becomes prisoner of the Iroquois in Maryland after he witnesses the massacre of his family. He escapes in 1646 at the age of eighteen embittered and haunted.
Around 1661 he returns to England to take over his title of the Earl of Cleaves and to take the bride Beatrice that was promised to him when he was still a child. But he finds he is drawn to her sister Jillian, so he contracts for Jillian instead. They stay for awhile in England and then leave for America. Someone makes attempts to kill Duncan in England and the evil plot follows them to America. Meanwhile they are also struggling to find love and trust with each other. I would have liked this book more except for all the little things. I did not like how Jillian and Roderick treated the servants! I didn't think Jillian really had any love for her family, even her sister Beatrice she only seemed to use. I found I just did not like Jillian as a person and Roderick was like loose cannon most of the time. I didn't like that they found Bear baiting an enjoyable sport to attend. The jealousy scenes were rather contrived, you knew where it was headed before it even got there. Atar, Duncan's retainer, never had believable reasons for the things he did. All and all this book just fell flat for me. I did not feel any real empathy for this pair at all. I liked Will, Duncan's best friend the most, even when he revealed his secret and that was about it. There was a few good places in the book but not enough to hold it together. 1 of 2 people found the following review helpful:
