Defiant Passion was written as a 'prequel' for Books 2 and 3 of the Sons of Rhodri Trilogy for readers unfamiliar with the plot and characters of Conquering Passion. Readers who fell in love with Welsh villain-turned-hero, Rhodri, will enjoy this reprise of the full story of his life. If you prefer not to revisit the story from Rhodri's point of view, I recommend you go directly to Dark and Bright.Praise for Defiant Passion:"What a wonderful escape into history. This is the first book I've read by Ms. Markland and it won't be the last. I truly enjoyed being in her story world. She knows how to make history come to life with fantastic, realistic details and characters you can't help but love and root for. I also enjoyed her writing style!" Vonda Sinclair, author of My Wild Highlander."The romance in the book was good. There are a lot of steamy scenes that definitely steal your attention away. Bottom line: This is a light, fast read that would be a perfect vacation read!" Meg@ABookishAffairOverviewShe was his destiny, but would she realize it in time?More praise for Anna Markland "I found myself drawn in again by Ms. Markland's great writing. I'm glad I read this novella as it made Book Two of the series, Dark and Bright, more meaningful. Can't wait for Book Three."
