I won this book on GoodReads, can't wait till it receive in the mail!
So I finally had time to finish Captured by Desire. I was so annoyed that things kept me from finishing this book. It was such an easy read even with the historical lingo. But the lingo just added to more to the book. Florie Gilder is an apprentice goldsmith that looses something very valuable to her. Something that can change her whole future if only she could find the man that it once belonged to. Her starts her journey to find her real father, a Nobleman. Every thing goes wrong for Florie when she is accused of being a thief and is forced into a rundown church for sanctuary. Here she spends her days and nights with a huntsman,a Robin-Hood figure whom all the "lasses" and people love, Rane. The Viking with a "curse", that no lass can seem to ignore. The story is wonderful as Florie and Rane become a couple. Rane finds he is attracted to the stubborn Florie but he would have her no other way, for he loves her fiery spirit. He is caught between serving his master and serving Florie. The chimistry between the two is palpable. The love scenes are loving crafted and are not over the top.
Their HEA is unique. I highly recommend this book. It was a wonderful read.

I picked this up on a whim at the used book store expecting nothing but smut, I was really surprised with how much I love the story and characters. Florie seeks sanctuary in a run down church and Rane has to make sure she doesn't escape. I love the banter between the two of them. The ending was my favorite part!

The book was a little too predictable for me. The characters went back and forth between love and hate and I predicted the ending from the very start. I still enjoyed reading it and loved the passion behind both characters. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a light historical romance novel.
