Destined for a King (Bastard Brotherhood, #1)

Destined for a King (Bastard Brotherhood, #1)
By Ashlyn Macnamara

SUMMARY
Though she is intended for the king, Calista Thorne picks up a crossbow to defend her ancestral home, Blackbriar Keep, from a gang of landless knights. She even manages to sink a poison-tipped arrow into their commander, who survives long enough to conquer the Keep and claim Calista for his own. Now, with her father’s life at stake, Calista must nurse the brigand back to health, and the strangest thing happens: She finds herself fascinated by his tautly muscled body, and enthralled by his hotly whispered demands.
 
Ever since his father’s death, the fearsome warrior they call Torch has been consumed by his quest for revenge. Taking Blackbriar Keep is the first step in that plan, and—by the three gods—it won’t be the last. But after taking one look into Calista’s smoldering gray eyes, Torch discovers a passion nobler than retribution. He will fulfill his destiny and take her from the usurper king, even in his weakened state. For with Calista’s love, no man has ever felt more powerful.

REVIEW

It was a good read. Lot's of plot twists and turns. It sometimes got a tad confusing to keep up with it.

I liked Calista she was indeed what every heroine should be strong and independent yet even stronger with the hero by her side.

Torch is a man on a mission. He is strong, sexy and destined to greatness. And he too is strong with his heroine by his side.

It seems like this one is only the beginning of a huge journey. 

I received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley for a honest review
