Wild Angel

If you love dark "alpha male" Irish rebels, fiesty and head strong red headed warrior lasses and high adventure, drama and lots of sensuous love scenes then you'll love this romance. Written in 94-it's very old school romance with secrets, scandal, a on going clash between warring families and an adventuresome happy ending. Almost perfect except for a bit too much willfullness by the heroine-but she does learn the error of her ways before the books end. Very Catherine Coulter or Johanna Lindsey like. I highly recommend it. 4.5 stars!

I very much enjoyed reading Triona and Ronan's story. The tension between the characters throughout the book was understandable and warrants you to just jump in the book and shake some sense into the characters! 6-month old Triona was found in the arms of her dead Norman mother in the middle of the forest.(sniffles)Fineen O'Toole finds her and adopts her as his own daughter knowing that a Norman clan wants her dead. She grew to adore her brother Conor and his friend Ronan O'Byrne, until she finds that her godbrother, knowns now as Black O'Byrne, was the cause of Conor's death! She grows to detest Ronan even more when she finds that her father made Ronan her guardian! Ronan O'Byrne was the godson of Fineen. He remembers seeing Triona as a lovable 8 summers old little girl with beautiful green eyes. Fineen, in his deathbed, makes Ronan vow to become Triona's guardian. To appease Fineen Ronan vows to him that he will take Triona. He thought he was going to find a docile young woman that would do his bidding.(yea right) He didn't know that Triona grew to be a wild hellion bent on defying him at every turn with skills that would match any of his clansmen. With life changing secrets and heart-wrenching guilt holding both Ronan and Triona captive, their love is slow to bloom. It was captivating to watch the two begin to trust eachother and watch the love that was always there bloom to its fullest. Triona's wild defiance and Ronan's stubborn insensitivity threaten to keep them apart and also the secrets from their past. An enticing novel with deep feelings and thoughts, vulnerabilities and misunderstandings. I'm looking forward to reading another novel by Minger. I know I will be reading "Wild Angel" again.
