5 Fallen Angels for ON THE WINDS OF LOVE

On The Winds of Love, by Lori Leigh Lisette, Duchesse of Meret and niece to the King of France is betrothed to the Baron of Normandy. Her father may have sold her to the Baron but that doesn't mean she is not in love with him. For several years she was sent to a strict school, resented by most of the girls, and unable to see the Baron. Now that her father requests she return home, she can only hope that the long awaited marriage is to take place. After the charge of being a pirate was laid on Girard Jolbert, Baron of Normandy, his father quickly imprisons him in Bastille. He loves Lisette, but now he is being told that the fiancée's family seeks his incarceration. Lisette is the only woman that he has longed for in his life. Now he feels betrayed after learning that she is to wed an English Earl. With only one thing left to do to make his amends, he sets on evoking revenge to all her family, but first he plans to disgrace her, enjoying the shame he will inflict to her and her family. When the two finally meet again, Lisette had no idea the attraction would be so strong between them. But Girard doesn't trust her and tricks her into a pretense marriage as part of his scheme. Lisette uses her influence to aid Girard's father and friends but Girard does not care. He has been hurt too badly by her family. Amidst all the insufferable acts Lisette must endure, she is determined to prove to Girard she can be trusted and her love is real but is he willing to finally believe her? On The Winds of Love is an exhilarating story. Lisette is a genuine character that is full of compassion and love that the reader cannot help but feel all her emotions. Girard is likeable even though he allows others to rule his heart, allowing him to be ill-advised on matters. With well-rounded supporting characters, this captivating tale is fast-paced and electrically charged. Lori Leigh fashions a notable read that can be seen and felt in every word she crafts gorgeously. She takes pen like paint to a canvas and interlinks lovely colors that make this read thoroughly delightful in every way. She is one true artist that transcends characters that practically leap from the pages. This is one splendid romantic tale. Reviewed by: Linda L
