This sets Giselle’s mind towards that one goal. Unfortunately, her uncle reveals that he has already betrothed her to Sir Myles Buxton, but if she performs duties as a chatelaine for Twelfth Night festivities, she may refuse him. The Twelfth Night of Christmas - Margaret Moore - 3 /5 - After determining that marriage must be like a prison, Giselle asks her guardian uncle for a boon - to be able to refuse a man’s hand in marriage if she feels she and her groom do not suit. It is a good origin story for the Sutherland series though. Maybe if this had been longer their relationship could have been built up to have me believing it. This was pretty cute, but a bit too short for me to believe that Duncan’s love had grown strong enough for such an honor-bound man to set aside his promise without first talking to Janet. But when his wealth is returned to him, honor demands he do the right thing.
As he begins to fall in love with Kara, he forgets about his previously planned future. But he soon learns that he’s been robbed of his portable wealth, and without he it cannot marry even if he does get home, so he stays to help….partly also to please Kara, the beautiful young woman who nursed him back to health. But Duncan has no desire to fight another man’s war again. He’s a dream come true for them because he’s a soldier and could help them defeat the MacGory clan. But before he can make it, his injury waylays him in a secluded valley with a pagan (sort of) clan being persecuted by their neighbors. As an added benefit, the Cabin Romance may be the ultimate romance for those readers who don’t like separations between the hero and heroine.Kara’s Gift - Suzanne Barclay - 4 /5 - Duncan Mclellan comes back from the Crusades a wealthy man and able to marry his sweetheart Janet. They have to come to grips with one another and their attraction in a (relatively) small place. In other instances, the hero/heroine lives alone in the wild and rescues the other from danger, the elements, or injury, forcing them be together or hide out together. Sometimes they are isolated as a result of a journey. Some romance are both Road Romances and Cabin Romances – for instance, a romance featuring a sea voyage where the hero and heroine are then marooned on a boat or a deserted island.Ĭabin Romances devote large sections to isolation of the hero and heroine. Often the hero and heroine travel alone, allowing them to know one another intimately and in unique ways. They are filled with adventure, danger, and excitement. Road Romances devote large sections to journeys, either by land or by sea.
Cabin Romances and Road Romances are “kissing cousins” of sorts.
