Never Kiss a Stranger by Heather Grothaus

Never Kiss a StrangerNever Kiss a Stranger by Heather Grothaus

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Nowhere in medieval England are three women so powerful--or adored--as the heiresses of Fallstowe Castle: Sybilla, the ruthless beauty, Cecily, the pure-hearted innocent. . . And Alys, the youngest sister, whose wild spirit has yet to be matched. . .

Lady Alys thinks everyone knows the legend: If a man and a woman meet at midnight within the ancient Foxe Ring ruins, they are as good as married. But when she finds a captivating stranger lurking there in the middle of the night, she discovers the one man who is unaware.

It's a deadly pursuit that brings Piers Mallory to the Fallstowe lands. But now that fate has attached the alluring, and curiously insistent, Alys to his side, it may work to his advantage to play by her rules, at least for a time. Yet the danger Piers courts is no game--and the passion he and Alys share is all too real. . .

My thoughts....

My first book by Heather . This was a cute enjoyable read. Something different for a change would have liked to have seen a little more bit of romance to this book though. Lady Alys is being forced to marry. She goes to the Foxe Ring ruins looking for her husband to be. Its legend if you venture to the ring you will find your mate upon entering it if you mate is agreeable with the Lady they are married by tradition. But Piers enters with ring thinking the Lady is hurt  and knows nothing of the legend. Lady Alys explains to him what has happen and calls him husband but he is not grasping this. He's been on the run as his step-mother and brother are trying to kill him. Piers is holding and object that with ruin there lives forever. Piers will not leave the Lady so they decide to travel together to London as Piers is on his way to see the King. This gives Alys a chance to work her way into his heart. This was a slow budding romance between the two which brought tiny smiles while living there romance and adventure between the two. The way the two strangers care for one another and fell deeply in love but denying they can be together forever .Sometimes fate has a way of working its way out !  Looking forward to reading this other again.
