![]() ![]() They way they care for each other is fabulous, and really brings home what romance is all about. I love that Nicolai falls in love with Isabella in spite of his good intentions, and that Isabella brings out the best in him. The dark and gloomy castle, the strange howling in the night, the ghosts, the beasts, the dark and stormy weather. The hero is the tortured beast who knows he shouldn’t keep the heroine for himself but can’t seem to walk away from her.Įverything about this novel works for me. ![]() The heroine is the beauty, strong and caring, with a solid streak of honesty that makes her stand out. Right from the beginning they start out on even ground. Although I generally hate how domineering her heroes are vs how limp her heroines are, this book is a huge exception. Feehan’s writing style is perfectly suited for gothic novels. And when the don commands her to become his bride, she goes willingly into his muscled arms, praying she’ll save his tortured soul…not sacrifice her life. Rumor says the powerful don can command the heavens, that the beasts below do his bidding…and that he is doomed to destroy the woman he takes as his wife.īut Isabella meets a man whose growl is velvet, purring heat, whose eyes hold dark, all-consuming desire. She’ll even brave the haunted, accursed lair of the lion–the menacing palazzo of legendary, lethal Don Nicolai DeMarco. Impoverished aristocrat Isabella Vernaducci will defy death itself to rescue her imprisoned brother. Holly‘s review of Lair of the Lion by Christine Feehan ![]()
