Product Description

To capture love, sometimes you have to grab it by the horns-

If a woman could die of humiliation, Cecily Hale would have perished three hours ago. Luke Trenton had finally returned to Swinford Manor, only to cruelly spurn her long-held love. But she couldn-t conveniently die of shame on the spot-oh, no. Instead she joined her friends on this ridiculous search for a legendary man-beast. Now she-ll die here-alone in the woods, at the tusks of a snarling boar.

Luke left for war a dashing youth and returned a man-just not the same man Cecily fell in love with. His passion for her is stronger than ever, but the ravages of battle changed him in ways she wouldn-t understand. Pushing her away was supposed to save her, not throw her into the path of another inhuman creature-or into the arms of another man.

For it is a man who rescues Cecily, just as the boar attacks. A mysterious, silent man who disappears into the woods, leaving her with just a glimpse-of a fleeing white deer. Could her rescuer be the man-beast of local lore?

A dangerous myth has captured Cecily-s imagination, putting Luke on the horns of a dilemma. Unless he summons the passion and tenderness to win her back, he could lose her forever-to the Werestag.

Warning: This is a humorous, passionate historical romance, not a paranormal shifter story. However, it does feature a harrowing encounter with a wild beast, a tortured hero who feels half-human, and the unleashing of animal urges. In other words: explicit sex, mild language.

3.0 out of 5 stars Legend of the Werestag by Tessa Dare, September 30, 2009

By	JenB (USA) - See all my reviews

Legend of the Werestag is a pleasant enough historical romance novella with interesting characters and an engaging plot, but the pacing isn't particularly even and I'm not sure the romance is developed enough to be completely believable (the story is only 45 pages long in .pdf format). The Great Reveal is a bit too easy and predictable for my taste as well. The idea behind the novella is cute, but I'd have loved to see it fleshed out more and developed into a full-length novel. I did like the author's charming narrative voice, though, so I will probably give her recent release Goddess of the Hunt a try. All in all, an average read with great potential.
