At first she scoffs at the English Lycans' apparent tameness. So when he meets a hot-blooded American beauty with the mark of a Lycan, he's only too glad to slip his leash.To Bring This Lady To HeelAccustomed to running wild in the swamps of Louisiana, Miss Liviana Mayeux is shipped off to her grandfather's in London to learn a thing or two about polite society. He is even afraid to love in his deepest heart and emotions, and he is certainly now afraid to be with Elspeth in the days just preceding the full moon.Regency England Has Gone To The Wolves!It Takes A Beast.Grayson Hadley is in his own special hell-being treated like a wayward pup by the tutor employed to turn him into a true gentleman. Lord Benjamin is a person of wit, accurately styled as a rake of the first order, and yet he is growing tired of his life, frightened that this change in his Lycan abilities will make him less than what he wants to be. The personalites of the characters are very well-developed and the interrationships between the five witches of the ancient Ciog make for delightful dialogue. Ms Dare has also continued the stories of individuals that were highlighted in the first novel so that their stories are allowed to continue. There is love aplenty here, deep and abiding affection and friendship, romantic and passionate love, and the fears and jeolousies that complicate relationships when people are at their most vulnerable. This is a delightful historical romance filled with magic and mystery, with people of wit and wisdom, with the paranormal and with wizardry. Sounds about right, eh? Somehow they must find not only a healing for Ben’s inability to be a normal Lycan but a resolution to their relational ups and downs. At others it is rocky and mixed with hurts and misunderstandings. Their relationship is, at times, gentle and loving. When it appears they are “compromised” because of a situation during Elspeth’s own illness–when she was completely drained physcally after healing one of her sister witches, they are married. Elspeth cannot deny that she is drawn to Ben in the same way.
As an acclaimed rake, Lord Benjamin is certainly attracted to the powerful and fiery redhead.
The woman he seeks in Scotland (and that was a two week journey by carriage from his home) is now dead and her daughter Elspeth has inherited her powers as well as all her recipes and potions. Because of the increased carnal desires that afflict all Lycan near the full moon, he lost control of his wolf and seriously injured a woman. In this particular novel she tells the story of Lord Benjamin, youngest of the Westfield siblings who is now seriously damaged within himself and is seeking to find a person, a healer who can restore him–actually the beast within. This is the second in Lydia Dare’s Westfield Trilogy wherein she is telling the stories of three brothers.
