Description
Dear Reader, Almost Innocent is a romance that is particularly dear to me, with a heroine who surprised me with her strength and resourcefulness, and a hero who will always be one of my favorites. Growing up behind the impenetrable walls of an English fortress, young Magdalen does not know that she is the illegitimate daughter of a powerful English prince and his murdered French mistress -- or that she has been a pawn in the struggle between England and France ever since she slipped from her show more dying mother's womb. All she knows is that she longs for excitement. And then one day, as if in answer to her prayers, the splendid figure of Guy de Gervais, a true knight in shining armor, rides into her cloistered world and spirits her away. For Magdalen it is love at first sight. The one and only love of her life. Yet Guy sees only his responsibility to keep Magdalen safe until she can be wed to his nephew and thus fulfill her political destiny. Then duty calls Guy to the bloody battlefields of France, and when he returns, time has transformed Magdalen into a stunningly sensual beauty. Suddenly the noble knight is fighting the fiercest battle of his life: against a searing desire for a woman he cannot have. I hope that you will be thrilled by Magdalen and Guy's passionate love story, and that you will have as much pleasure reading it as I had writing it. Warmest wishes, Jane Feather P.S. Don't miss my latest novel, The Widow's Kiss, featuring an enchantress who has been widowed no less than four times ... and the formidable hero who finds himself reluctantly falling under her spell. show lessTags

Although I finished this book, none of the characters truly captured my interest. The beginning made it seemed like she was an enchantress, but Magdalen just seemed more like a spoiled girl that was going to get her way in love no matter what. I liked and respected Guy during his first marriage. Then although he got caught in Magdalen's spell-driven ways, he was still well aware of what he was doing. Guy did earn my respect with how he handled her husband and tried to do the correct thing by the end.

Ella sólo quiere un poco de emoción en su vida. AsÃ, un dÃa entra en su mundo el magnÃfico Guy de Gervais, un auténtico caballero de brillante armadura, y se la lleva en un abrir y cerrar de ojos. Para Magdalena se trata de un amor a primera vista, pero a Guy sólo le importa su responsabilidad de mantener a la joven a salvo hasta que ella se case con su sobrino y cumpla con su destino polÃtico.
