This review is from: Ruling Passion (CD-ROM)
This is a well characterized book. Ms Kingston makes you feel for her characters and the difficulties that they go through. Rosalind's parents were killed by the evil man who put in his dungeon to break her will so she would marry him. Jeffrey rescues her on the promise that she can pay him in gold. The next morning he finds out that she can't pay him. He tells her that he will let her stay in his castle and he will assist her if she will spend a night and a day with him. But first she has to take her punishment for lying to him.After spanking her and making love to her. Rosalind decides to remain and be his mistress until he can arrange a match for her. She falls in love with him and he her, but he can't marry her as his estate is in ruin. He is trying to marry the daughter of a Duke so he will have a strong ally and money to take care of his people. The story has a nice ending and wonderful secondary characters but it moves a little slowing in places. I became frustrated with the two characters because they didn't seem to make the effort to work things out. Rosalind did come from a rich estate and if Jeffrey could take it back she probably would have inherited it.

I love reading stuff that shocks me...,
This review is from: Ruling Passion (CD-ROM)
The Hero {Lord Jeoffrey Blaisdell} and Heroine {Lady Rosalind Hamilton} first meet in a dungeon, where Rosalind is being held captive by Sir William de Railles. Sir William put her in the dungeon of her own Manor in order to help persuade her to become his wife. She, however wanted nothing to do with him, a side from watching him die after he first murdered her father and then her brother, all while she watched. His men helped themselves to her mother and then killed her. Jeoffrey was actually there freeing others when she called out to him to save her also. She lied and stated that she would pay him 1000 crowns if he would rescue her as well. He agreed. Once Rosalind and Jeoffrey were in his manor the next day, she told him that she did not have the money to pay. He demanded something else instead of money. The use of her body for one night and one day. In addition to this payment she would also have to be disciplined for lying to him. Spanked!!!! That's it folks I've already said too much!!!! This was a very good read. I enjoy Katherine Kingston's style of writing and can not wait to read more from her... Caution: There is some violence in this story {SPANKINGS}. If this type of material offends you please don't read it.

Not for everyone, but if you can look past the exterior you'll enjoy it,

This review is from: Ruling Passion (Paperback)
Lady Rosalind Hamilton is dismayed to find herself held prisoner in the dungeon of Sir William, the man who killed her family, stole their home, and kept Rosalind as his prize. Originally, William tried to make Rosalind accept his suit, but when she refused, he sent her to his dungeon in the hopes that the filth and squalor would prove the greater of two evils. When a strong warrior come to the dungeon, Rosalind barters for her own freedom. The lord in question, Jeoffrey Blaisdell, requires payment for her release and Rosalind foolishly offers $1,000 crowns without knowing how she'll pay the sum. Then she finds herself freed, and in the presence of a lord who demands payment.
Lord Jeoffrey Blaisdell tries to be a fair and honorable man. He seeks to prevent Sir William from pillaging and robbing the keeps of his neighbors, while at the same time building a modest fortune for himself and running an efficient homestead. When he learns that Rosalind cannot pay the sum promised to him, he decides to exact his payment in another manner. In bed... Ruling Passion is without a doubt erotica at its passionate and enthralling best. Katherine Kingston has woven a story about a doomed love that is determined to triumph. Lord Jeoffrey must marry for fortune and lands, despite his feelings for Rosalind. Even though the two would like nothing more than to be together, they must each accept their fate. However, Kingston paints these two as star-crossed lovers similar to Romeo and Juliet, and makes the reader yearn for the two of them to find a way to make it work. At the same time, we are shown that each are honorable, respectful, and dignified in their own way and that an alliance between the two would only strengthen these qualities. This story isn't for everyone. There are several spanking scenes, and the discipline imposed in Lord Jeoffrey's household isn't exactly easy to tolerate. But if you can look past the exterior of the plot into the heart of the story, I'm sure you will enjoy this well-told story.
