One thing about this book, however, was the fact that it's PG. But Kurland allows the heroine to cry and show utter embarrassment because it allows the hero a chance to comfort her and to grow closer to her. This is a very simple thing but very rarely do authors pen about it. The heroine is attacked and as she's recovering, she had to wear a make shift diaper. I loved this book because it was about real people. She sees inside of him and is willing to wait patiently for him to open up to her. She's often stealing his horse and running away, making the hero track her down and drag her back. Though he's argumentative and brisk, he goes out of his way to make the heroine happy. He never smiles, doesn't know how to be kind but despite this, he's so sweet. The hero is tortured by his abusive childhood and as a result he's very self conscious and unable to properly express his feelings. The story really picked up once they arrive at the castle when the two characters go from strangers bound together by chance to a reluctant friendship. He's surly, gruff and without the patience to deal with her as he's urgent to repair his keep. The heroine is thrust back in time and into the very unwilling arms of the hero. What started out as a slow typical romance quickly turned into a fantastic paranormal historical romance.
