Dark Destroyer
by Kathryn Le Veque
This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance
Dark Destroyer is a story I was really excited to read, and I have to say that this author never ceases to make me fall in love with her characters. This story features the descendants of the de Wolf clan and the other families connected as well. At first I wasn't sure if I would like this book to be honest, it did start out a bit slow but that could have been the narrator, I am not sure. However once I really started to listen to this book, I became so hooked.
Our heroine, Lady Kathalin, was sent away by her parents when she was just a child to the convent and hasn't heard anything from them since. Gates de Wolfe, has been working as the lead knight for the de Lara family for years, and has led many battles to victory. His liege sends him on a mission to bring back his daughter home upon his wife's request. Kathalin has been raised in the convent and wants to commit fully to the church, its been the only home she has ever known. So when she is forced to leave she is NOT thrilled about the prospect of returning to her family who hasn't shown any love or affection at all in her life. Even though at first she hates Gates de Wolfe, she begins to understand his loyalty to her father and there is something more she sees in him. Gates is quite a rake, with a few bastards he has left behind. He doesn't want to ever be forced into a marriage and he hasn't truly cared about the consequences. But when he meets Kathalin, he meets a woman that he wants more than a simply night in bed. He sees a woman who is kind and generous and has a healing art. She is passionate and true to herself and he realizes he has never admired anyone as much as he admires his lady Kathalin. But her parents have different plans for her. Right when Kathalin and Gates realize their deep love for each other, they assume her parents will be supportive of the match but it turns out to be wrong. Because Kathalin's parents wish to tie her to a different man so they can have a certain alliance with a certain family. Now their love is forbidden and Gates will have to make a difficult choice: the woman he loves or to choose honor and duty and to protect all three families involved.
This story was such a emotional rollercoaster for me, oh my goodness, I was so swept up in their romance and seeing them find their HEA was torment because you see how much that they love each other, and that everyone around them could care less if they are happy including the third man "Alexander" , Gates best friend and the man that Kathalin's parents want her to marry. We see some truths revealed about Kathalin's parents and the motivation behind them seeking such a marriage. But I would like to add how wonderful this story was and that there is HEA, but its hard fought and guaranteed to bring a tear or two to your eyes, seeing them find happiness after such conflict in thinking they would never see each other again.
I found this to be a splendid romance and another treasure from this author that I am in love with and highly recommend. I LOVE her writing style and she just makes medieval era so appealing and full of life.
