The Border Hostage

A Really Great Read

I personally enjoyed the book! I have read A Woman of Passion, which is also a great read, and recommend The Border Hostage to anyone who thinks that abductions are a way out. Love is in the air!

Heated historical romance

In 1514 in the Borders, six thugs abduct Heath Kennedy thinking he is Lord Douglas. He barely escapes, but soon meets Lady Raven Carleton, who is mulling over her expected marriage to Christopher Dacre, son of a Head Border Lord. Not withstanding her connections, Heath steals her horse anyway. Not long afterwards, Heath recognizes his own horse stolen by the thugs but now possessed by Christopher.

As an act of revenge for the attack that he cannot prove, Heath kidnaps Christopher and Raven. He sends the former back for an insultingly low ransom, but decides to keep the latter with him a little longer because he already is falling in love with her. Heath knows that he must somehow persuade Raven that he is the right man for her in spite of his half Gypsy blood. Raven is unable to resist her attraction to the dangerous Heath and neither can he to her, so they make love. However, a deadly conspiracy centering on the three-year-old King of Scotland plus the insulted Dacre clan make a permanent relationship between Heath and Raven seem impossible.

THE BORDER HOSTAGE is the typical entertaining Virginia Henley historical romance with the twist of gypsy and Celtic powers to add depth. The story line is fast-paced and filled with action that paints the conspiratorial atmosphere of the times with fascinating colors. The lead couple is a fabulous duo while the royal machinations adds suspense and excitement to a very strong sixteenth century romance.

If Only Every Kidnapping Ended This Way...

I am an avid fan of Virginia Henley books, however after I started Tempted I found myself not quite connecting with the characters and about half-way through actually set the book aside for another time. After reading The Border Hostage-which captured me from the first chapter-I am thoroughly in love with Raven and Heath, the characters Henley created and the story and events that forced-not drew-them together; intrigue, revenge, cowardice and true chivalry. After finishing The Border Hostage I find I must go back and finish reading Tempted in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the characters I love in this book. Another great read by Henley.

BORING

I didn't really like this book. It just kept going on and on. Maybe if she would just cut to the chase then maybe it would of been more enjoyable.

fabulous

this book is magical. it is filled with lots of magic,hope,love,dreams,and passions. each person has their on identity until something new comes along and gives them more. you will not be cheated out of a good story with this book. it has it's good guys and bad guys. but remember love conquers all.
