Sweeping back to the 18th century, the bestselling author of A Breath of Scandal paints a vivid portrait of sensual romance. On orders from his king, Sir Damian Stratton arrives in the Highlands to prevent a wedding that would unite two powerful clans against the English crown. But his plan to spirit the bride off to a convent is foiled, for Elissa proves to be both headstrong and alluring. The only way Damian can keep the proud beauty from her intended laird is to wed her himself. And no matter how she protests, Elissa soon discovers that her dashing enemy can steal her heart as easily as he stole her freedom.

As always I love Connie's books. She has a way with words that really brings the characters to life. This book is set in Scotland, where the hero, Damian, an Englishman, is sent to prevent a wedding that would join two clans and possible upset the fragil peace between England and Scotalnd. The king send Damian, a landless knight to be the new Lord of Misterly & if he can prevent the wedding the land will be his. He arrives just in time to keep the heroine, Elissa Fraser keeping her promise to her dead father. He had wanted her to marry the Gordon Laird and unite the two clans. At first Elissa treats Damian like the hated Englishman he is and thinks he will be cruel and harsh with her clan and family, but she soon finds that he is a honest, caring, tender man who has no wish to hurt anyone anymore. they soon realize the strong attraction they have to each other and the love scenes are passionate and beautiful. But there are evil forces that keep them from being together and they must fight for thier love and their very lives. I enjoyed this book so much that I read it all in one setting. Its a fast and exciting read. I can't wait to read her new book as soon as I get it.

Wickedly sensual and bawdy,
By Desmond Chan (Bishan North Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Touch So Wicked (Avon Romantic Treasure) (Mass Market Paperback)
A staunch defender of the English in the Battle of Culloden against the Jacobites and the Highlanders in Scotland, Damian Stratton earns his notoriety as the feared Demon Knight for the carnage he waged on the mutiny of King George. Tired of the bloodshed, his wish for a land, wife and a stable life was realized when King George and Lord Pelham conferred him the title of Lord Clarendon, Master of Misterly. It comes with an agreement to prevent the marriage between Tavis Gordon and Elissa Fraser which would unite two strong clans in the highlands and pose a threat to the English rule. Things get complicated when he is attracted to the feisty lass, Elissa who despises Damian with his murder of her father. She rebels but to no avail - he is much stronger in warfare and in the mastery of seduction. The passion between them ignites with their warring hearts. Yet Damian isn't the cold-blooded slayer he is rumoured. She finds justice and great chivalry in his rule and is capable of compassion towards her sickly mother and little sister. Just when their romance blossoms evil plans are hatched. The spiteful heiress, Lady Kimbra sent to Damian as a bride sows discords and seeds of jealousy. Tavis Gordon wishes to reclaim his stake on the land through war and treachery... Connie Mason's A TOUCH SO WICKED combines lusty passion and politics amidst the backstage of Scotland wars. Elissa and Damian makes the chemistry combustible and their love is shamelessly melodramatic with the ongoing treachery. Duty and obligations clashes with loyalty and passion. A TOUCH SO WICKED sparks no novelty for fans of Connie Mason who are familiar with her sensual and bawdy style, but nevertheless it is a Scotland romance yarn well spun for its colourful and wicked characters who will touch readers' hearts.
