“But I wanted to discuss the anthology with you! And you know Sheri, next time you think I’m voluntarily tanning myself in sub-zero temperatures, I’m really NOT. How about, more like waiting for my bum to unfreeze from the deckchair, while all my plaintive cries for help went unheeded by all! What do you mean you thought it was the neighbourhood cats mating!â€

Known to be the fiercest warrior to have ever lived, Draven de Montague, earl of Ravenswood, is King Henry's champion and most favored knight. Therefore, it is to be expected that he will be the subject of hatred by many jealous men. One of them happens to be Hugh, Lord Warwick. When the baron goes to the king to get Draven censured for supposedly attacking his lands, Draven finds himself saddled with Hugh's daughter after the king decides that the only way to stop the feud between his two subjects is by appointing Draven as Lady Emily's guardian.
Having lived a sheltered life, Emily is more thrilled than fearful about the idea of living at Ravenswood. Longing for a family of her own, she believes that she may finally get her wish granted --- though she's in for a huge battle if she thinks she can ensnare Draven himself. Yet, then again, Emily is not one to give up. And this is where the fun begins...
MASTER OF DESIRE kicks off the Macallister series. I absolutely had a blast reading this novel and truly enjoyed Emily's antics. The way she sets her cap for Draven and does her utmost to break down his defences was just fun to read. She knows that he had been hurt, and although he might be the most feared warrior in Christendom, she senses a hidden vulnerability that she longs to help him with. As for Draven, I loved how much he tries to resist her in the beginning, yet does his best to indulge her whims. He is sexy, strong and just the perfect hero. If these two aren't entertaining enough, let's not forget Draven's brother, Simon. He is such a riot! I absolute adored him and can't wait to read his own story in the anthology "WHERE'S MY HERO?"
This is a really great book. The author captures the feelings of the characters, from Emily's exuberance and determination, to Draven's torment and despair. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading Kinley MacGregor's other books. ”
“One of my favorite stories of all time.”

Wanneer een knappe ridder - op een wit paard nota bene - op haar vaders kasteel arriveert, zijn haar verwachtingen dan ook hooggespannen. Helaas blijkt zijn bezoek weinig met romantiek van doen te hebben. Draven de Montague, graaf van Ravenswood, is op bevel van de koning gekomen om de vete tussen hun beider families uit de wereld te helpen. Hij heeft de opdracht gekregen om een jaar lang te zorgen voor een van de dochters des huizes. De keuze valt op Emily. Zij besluit van haar nood een deugd te maken en probeert Dravens hart te veroveren.Dit lijkt een schier onmogelijke opgave: niet alleen heeft Draven gezworen nooit een vrouw toe te laten in zijn hart, ook heeft de koning hem uitdrukkelijk verboden lichamelijk contact met zijn protegee te hebben...”

The title makes it sound like some kind of sex guide. This book actually made me cry. After reading this I went out and bought the rest of her back list. And found out after I got home that she writes as Sherrlyn Kenyon (another writer who makes me cry.) Total keeper.”
