Tempted Virginia Henley 9780440206255 Books

In a complex, lusty tale of feuding Scottish clans during the time of James IV of Scotland and Henry VIII of England, Henley serves up a story that will grab you from the first page and will not let you go. I loved it. Henley has the ability to capture not only the time period, but also the culture of the borderlands between Scotland and England and the difficult but wonderful relationship between two stubborn, courageous people. I highly recommend this one.

Set in Scotland in 1512, TEMPTED is the story of clans Douglas, Hamilton and Kennedy. Beautiful Valentina Kennedy, the oldest of the Kennedy daughters, was known as Flaming Tina for her glorious red-gold hair and her feisty temper. She was raised with her sister and brothers in Castle Doon in Ayr on the Southwest coast of Scotland where her father ruled as the Lord of Galloway. Tina despaired the lot of women that prevented them from enjoying male pursuits, and she frequently joined her brothers in their activities. But when she turns 17, her father insists she say yes to one of her many suitors. Tina thinks to marry the Hamilton heir but is happy when a gypsy tells her there will be no wedding for her this year. In a surprising turn of events, she is hand fasted to her enemy, the powerful Black Ram Douglas, who she considers to be a brute of a man. Tina intends to have her revenge.

Henley develops some wonderful characters, including the ghosts of two star-crossed lovers from the past (another Kennedy and Douglas pairing), who constantly entertain. She paints vivid word pictures of the food, clothing and castles that draw you in and help you experience the times--and she does it all very well. In a fitting climax to the story, she superbly describes the battle between the English and Scots at Flodden where Scotland experienced a terrible defeat.

This is going on my Best Scottish/Highlander Historical Romances list!

The second in the 2-book Clan Kennedy Saga is THE BORDER HOSTAGE and I recommend it, too!

Must read......my second time reading...Great story..Great characters....Great historical plot line..would recommend to anybody......virginia henleys books are the bomb...luv it all
This was a fun read, in fact since nudged me for a review I think I'll go read it again!
This book was a total surprise and far more interesting than your standard romance novel. On the positive side, it is well written, with interesting characters and history, so much so I found I couldn't put the book down. On the downside, there is a crudeness to their bed sport that gets old, but that said, it was a really good read and made me a fan.
This book was really good. Not Henley's best but i still liked it.
PROS
Flaming Tina and Black Ram really had something. It wasnt one of those loves with a lack of substance. And I liked how their names were contrasting at times but similar at others. Contrast, Flaming Tina & Black Ram. Alike, Firebrand & Hotspur.
And when Ram realized what he had done the first time they made love, he honestly felt bad and tried to make up for it.
CONS
I didnt like the fact that everytime they were okay, something else went wrong. The minute the couple started getting along something huge would happen and ruin it. The book went up and down too often.

Overall, the book was a really good book. Just not exactly memorable.
The Kennedy books have been some of my fave so far. I read them backwards but still fell in love with all the characters. I love the storyline and challenges that these characters go through and how they grow together. Must read!
Don't get me wrong I love Virginia Henley's stories but this one had so many clans and circumstances to keep track of. I got the feeling she did a lot of research on the happenings and clans of Scottland, but then haphazardly placed them into her love story between Ram and Tina. For me this one lacked the tingle of many of her other stories and towards the end I wanted to just hurry and finish it, maybe thats how she felt when she was writing it.
Virginia Henley is now my new favorite author! It used to be Sylvia Day but then I read all her books and no one could compare....,until I found A Virginia Henley hard copy in my parents bookshelf. Now I'm hooked on all her books! Great amazing stories, so much passion, love and adventure.
