Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
With the sucess of Kinley MacGregor's latest New York Times Expanded and USA Today bestseller A Dark Champion, we are in the perfect position to republish her backlist gem Master of Desire.
A Dream of Desire Awakened . . .
Beautiful Lady Emily dreams of the rapture of love and the joys of marriage. The youngest daughter of an English lord at war, she is shaken by the arrival of a mysterious stranger to her father's castle. Could this breathtaking man be Emily's yearned-for lover? Indeed, Draven de Montague, Earl of Ravenswood, has come for Emily . . . but romance has nothing to do with it.
In the Tender Embrace of an Enemy . . .
Draven would never have entered the home of his most hated adversary had not the King himself ordered him to take in his foe's daughter for a year to forge bonds of peace between their two feuding houses. Worse still, here is a lass whose exquisite loveliness could tempt Draven to betray his sworn vow never to let anther close to his heart. Emily knows the searing heat of her passion could burn down the defenses of this proud warrior. But will the surrender of the sweet nectar of his lips and his bold, sensuous caress ignite a blaze so hot it consumes them both?

It's a very light read, without a lot of meat to it.
Interesting idea, however it was very predictable, how the story unfolded. Not bad characters though.
I prefer Kresley Cole.

...and Emily wants Draven de Montague, the Earl of Ravenswood.
Draven and Emily's father are enemies, and by decree from the king, Emily is to live under Draven's roof for in one year in order to stop the fighting between the two lords. Draven is not to touch her (in violence or lust). It is Draven's belief that he will have no problem keeping his hands to himself until he meets Emily!
Emily wants Draven, (in the biblical sense), from the very first moment they meet. I love this twist because so often in romance novels the female resists a pursuing male! Draven believes himself capable of great violence so he resists Emily for fear of harming her.
The pursuit/retreat aspect of this romance makes the consummation of this relationship deeply satisfying. Draven was a wonderful hero, unconscious of his own gentleness, and Emily was a perfect match for him. This was a very satisfying, quick read.

I thought it was a great book, very fast reading. At some points in the story the story line itself becomes a little over dramatic, but it really didn't take away from the overall quality of the book. This was my very first read of her books, and Im looking forward to reading more.

This was my very first book to read from this author under any name and I am hooked. Touching characters and a great story line enabled me to read this in one night. I was sorry it ended!

I have come to love this author, in both her names. I have never been disappointed and this book is no exception to the rule. I read this book in 2 days and immediately went searching for another of her books. The characters are so alive and real. I found myself, in Emily's place, cursing the stubborness of Draven! I loved this book. Take yourself away for a day and get lost in the world of Emily and Draven!
