the hawk and the dove by virginia henley

One of my favorites was: '.to be Irish is to know the world will break your heart before you are thirty.' So true. In addition to wonderful characters, a great plot and interesting history, she has included some great one-liners. It is so worth it to dive into one of her complex, winsome tales.

Henley’s love scenes are unique and fit the people and the story, so very well done, very sexy and not contrived. It’s one of the things Henley does so well-excellent characters and a plot with great twists and turns! The Raven and the Rose (1987) The Hawk and the Dove (1988). Both have Irish blood running through their veins-at a time when Queen Elizabeth feared the rebellious Irish. Virgina Syddall Henley, nada en 1935, unha escritora inglesa de grandes xitos comercial. Just the woman to tame a wild man like Shane Hawkhurst. She is fiercely independent, courageous, feisty and smart. As flame-haired, jade-eyed Sabre Wilde, she would scandalize Queen Elizabeth's court as she set out to. As innocent Sara Bishop she'd paid dearly for freedom from her cruel, mocking family. She intends to go to Court and seduce her husband and become his mistress, making him her love slave and having her revenge. She'd been bought for a strip of land, then abandoned: a bartered bride, married by proxy, determined to wreak revenge. Ah, but Sara-as Sabre-has a different plan. Shane planned to have his brother Matthew take Sara to one of his estates and dump her there, never wishing to meet her. Little did he know his new wife was the red-haired Irish vixen, Sara Bishop, referred to by her jealous half siblings as 'Sabre Wilde' after her dead father and his sword.

Shane had promised his father he would marry, and to stave off Queen Bess' jealousy and because he did not really want a wife, he had his solicitor find a country lass who had some land in Ireland he wanted and married her by proxy. But his English father claimed him as heir, and when Shane’s father died, Shane became Lord Hawkhurst. She named him “the sea god.” He was, in fact, not the son of Lord Hawkhurst, but the son of an Irishman named O'Neill, the Earl of Tyrone. His wife overheard the order and approached him with a question in her. Captain Shane Hawkhurst was Queen Bess' favorite. The Reverend Bishop stepped from his study and dispatched a servant to summon Sara. The story is set in 1586, when Queen Elizabeth ruled England and her sea hawks ruled the seas, robbing the Spanish fleet to fill her coffers.
