Caitlyn was an orphaned beauty with no future -- until the rugged outlaw nobleman rescued her from the streets. And now they ride together in the shadows of the night -- on the run from corrupt minions of the law -- emboldened by the exhilarating heat of the chase...and by a love as wild and free as the wind on the moors. Caitlyn has vowed she will never forsake Connor, her brave champion, her sensuous lover. But to save Connor, she must now betray him. Yet the proud lady can never betray the passion that joins their hearts...and draws Connor into harm's way to rescue his cherished love once more.

Caitlyn O'Malley was a lass, but none would have known it who saw her swaggering along Dublin's narrow cobbled laneways on that misty April afternoon in 1784. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! The Best Karen Robards book..., Feb 21 2004

By A Customer

From the beginning of the story to the amazing ending I was enthralled with this book. I had just read 'The Midnight Hour', and was disappointed with that novel. This book has given me hope in Karen again because it is just wonderful! I think that this may be the best book written by Karen Robards ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible!, Feb 21 2003

By A Customer

Alright, to the reviewer who said that Catlin was a lousy heroine, I respectfully disagree. She is not exactly manipulative, and when does she whine? Yes, she uses what she's got to catch Connor, but isn't that a nice change from all the heriones who feel that they don't deserve the hero? She flirts with his brothers, but only because she wants to get his attention, and it does work quite well. And what she goes through to protect him more than makes up for her immaturity. She is young and spirited and I enjoyed her every step of the way!
But the real strength in this book lies in the story. This is probably my number one complaint about romance novels, they have stupid and ridiculously contrived plots. The story is about nothing but the instant lust between the characters and even more ridiculous reasons they can never be together. While reading most romances I find myself waiting for the love scenes, and not really enjoying what I'm reading along the way. Not this book. It has a real story, written so beautifully and vividly, it's like watching a movie in your head while you read. In fact, I think this book would make a great mini-series. So if you like, you can read your books about silly internal conflicts, ridiculous heriones who are sure they don't deserve the unworthy hero and wait patiently for him to make the first move, but as for me, I'll take this book any day!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book Iv'e ever read, Jan 24 2003

By A Customer

They sure don't write em like this anymore, and that's a shame because it's a great book. It's kind of a mixture between The Ugly Duckling, Robin Hood, and The Princess Bride. It's hard to say what I love so much about this book, but I'll just say that by the synopsis I was sure I was getting another plotless sex book, boy was I wrong!

If I had to say what makes this book stand out from all the other romances I read I would say that it is a great, engaging story that never bores. I also loved the characters, of course. They were fully developed and far from perfect. For example the heroine, Catlin, is beautiful but unlike most heroines you read about, she is very aware of her beauty and uses it to manipulate the men in her life, which leads to some very hilarious moments in the story. She is also spoiled and stubborn. But she is still one of the most lovable heroines Iv'e ever read. It takes a great author to accomplish that. And the hero manages to be honorable and good despite the fact that he's also a criminal. This book is more than a love story, it's an epic about family, loyalty, and the plight of the Irish.
