Claire Ashcroft hates Viscount Grayson Sutherland for a
reason. He is responsible for a death of her loved one and she vows to avenge
his death by making Grayson fall in love with her and then shattering his
heart. But she is an innocent who is no match for Grayson who just wants to
loose himself away from any responsibility. Once Claire gets to know Grayson
she is torn between her goal and her attraction towards Grayson. Slowly and
gradually she starts seeing him as a man set out to ruin himself and running
away from the nightmares of his past. This is a beautiful tale where Claire
helps Grayson to bury the bitterness of his past and accept the beautiful gift
of life which she brings in his life.
My Thoughts
I like historical romances and have read a lot
in past. The story stands apart from many others in the way author has
successfully created both Grayson’s and Claire’s characters. Claire is a strong
female who sets out to avenge the death of a loved one but in the process
discovers a sad soul in Grayson who does not have any desire to live life
fully. Grayson was once happy and believed in love but one tragedy in past has
made him sour towards life.
In the beginning you see flashes of pain he is
feeling and slowly as the story resolves the readers will understand the
reasons he has turned such. The relationship between Claire and Grayson helps
both of them to heal from their past. The way the story unfolds later and helps
them understand each other is intriguing and keeps the readers interest. If one
thing disappointed me it was the end scene where both of them realize the depth
of feelings towards each other and want to unite. It was too rushed in my view
but nevertheless the story as a whole is a good read.
