Product Description
He tried to run.... In his youth, Hugh MacCarrick foolishly fell in love with a beautiful English lass who delighted in teasing him with her flirtatious ways. Yet he knew he could never marry her because he was shadowed by an accursed family legacy. To avoid temptation, Hugh left home, ultimately becoming an assassin. She tried to forget him.... Jane Weyland was devastated when the Highlander she believed would marry her abandoned her instead. Years later, when Hugh MacCarrick is summoned to protect her from her father's enemies, her heartache has turned to fury -- but her desire for him has not waned. Will passion overwhelm them? In hiding, Jane torments Hugh with seductive play. He struggles to resist her because of deadly secrets that could endanger her further. But Hugh is no longer a gentle young man -- and toying with the fever-pitched desires of a hardened warrior will either get Jane burned...or enflame a love that never died.

 I do desire July 16, 2008

Hugh & Jane both love each other secretly (at least it's a secret from one another) but Hugh stays away from the only woman he ever loved because of a family curse. To protect her, he stays away until ten years have passed & Jane's life is at risk.
One of my absolute favorite books. It's filled with angst. Kresley Cole is a must-read author.
Hooked by Kresley Cole! May 14, 2008
I recently discovered Kresley Cole and I just love her writing. I'm not going to bother with a summary of the book, but this whole trilogy is a fun read! Cole develops great characters, provides entertaining dialogue, and keeps the plot running for a "can't put it down" experience. I also love her Immortals After Dark series as well! I'm looking forward to her next books. \(^.^)/
 Another crakcer May 12, 2008
While I feel you can't compare this series to the Immortals After Dark series (as they are two completely different series) I have to say this was pretty darn good, but not quite as good as IAD in case you are looking for something similar from Cole.
However, in saying that, it was immensely better than some other historical romances i've read recently.
I also enjoyed it a littlre more than the first (If You Dare) and looked forward greatly to the third (If You Deceive after it as it just fueled my love for Cole's writing.
Was it predictable? A little. But you can't have a romance without a HEA. I liked the struggle and sexual tention Cole builds so well between characters. Her twists and sneaky humour also lighten what could be a very tenuious plot.
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it and not only is it a keeper, but one I will no doubt be rereading time and time again.
If You Desire March 13, 2008
Great book!! Hugh has loved Jane for over ten years but refuses to act on his love because he believes he and his brothers are cursed to be loveless and alone. Jane has loved Hugh for just as long but has just decided he's never going to love or marry her so she decides to accept another proposal. What Jane doesn't know is Hugh works for her father who dispatches assasins to kill traitors to the crown and one of her fathers men has decided to get revenge by killing Jane. Hugh arrives on the scene after an urgent message to find the woman he loves in danger from a mad man and almost engaged. I really liked the interaction between these two you could practically feel Jane's frustration with Hugh for not giving into his feelings. Great plot, fun story and wonderful characters it's a keeper for me!!
