Defy Not the Heart by Johanna Lindsey

4.0

3.5/5 Stars....maybe 4/5 stars

Johanna Lindsay really knows how to weave a wonderful tale. She has a way of writing a story that readers can't help but read and READ until it's done.
I really liked the character of Ranulf who was at first annoying and rude and a huge ass but once Miss Reina came into his life he became a better person and oh man he's a big sweetheart. Raina on the other hand was a tad bit annoying. I'm all for strong-willed females but she didn't know when to put her foot in her mouth. I also felt like she just took things that were thrown at her and didn't really speak her mind on things that needed to be illuminated but spent the time arguing on trivial things. But, she still isn't the worst heroine I've ever met. Their relationship was really sweet!
The reason why it's missing that ONE star is because of Johanna Lindsay spent so much time describing detail in this one. She spent at least 3-4 pages describing a new room or what Reina was wearing etc.
