Set in the 13th century, this romance tells the story of Merryn, a young woman living under an ancient curse which forbids any man from taking her or the family's castle by force. Although Sir Bishop of Lythe doesn't believe in the curse, he is somewhat cautious when he realizes that Merryn has been married four times but that all her husbands died before being able to bed her. Hoping to avoid that fate, Bishop sets out to win Merryn's hand (and her castle) the old fashioned way--by wooing her. However, as Bishop settles into life at the castle, he is haunted by strange dreams of a mysterious wizard and witch. Will these dreams put a stop to Bishop's attempts to win Merryn's love?
Never read Catherine Coulter before, but after the first 90 pages I realized that it was a lurid romance novel in medieval clothing. Not my thing. Seemed well-written, though.
I thought it was very enjoyable. the flicking back and forth from past to present wasn't hard to follow at all. It filled in the story line well. Other then certain mistakes, It was fun and entertaining.
