This book was so great I read the whole thing in 24hr. It starts with an condemned woman. It ends with a happy every after. I could not put it down and I cried though the last 5 chapters. It has love, hate, death and rebirth. If you read this book you will love this book.
This is a book worth reading and then reading again. I loved this story from the moment I stated. The grief of the lord loosing his wife and child in childbirth was horrific, but then that lost becomes miniscule when his wifes mother casts a spell on him.
"A rutting beast you were, a beast you will become. Not all at once, my selfish one. Day by day, the change will come upon you, until you have suffered for every tear my daughter wept, for every drop of blood she shed this day. As I have said it so shall it be. When Dominique forgives you, so shall I".
So the curse began. Four years pass and he has become more beast then man. He comes upon a condemned woman. He marries her in hopes that she will conceive his heir so that he may die in peace. Unfortunately he falls in love with her and she falls in love with him. All this would be wonderful except for the fact that the curse continues and every day becomes more wonderful then the last, exceot he is becoming more animal then human and in fear of hurting her he leaves. Now with his child close to being born he tries to find a way to save him.
There are many twists and turns in this book and they all tug at your heart. All he wants is to have her hate him so that when he died he can find some peace. He never expected her to fall in love with him and for him to crave her touch. This book was beautifully written and makes you want to cry in many parts.
