In ENTWINED, young Aidan Evernight discovers that his
father has betrothed him sight unseen to the 16 year old
Lady Luella Moran. He balks at the prospect of being
betrothed to someone he has never met, so he promptly
enlists his brother Eamon's help in writing to the girl.
Eamon, while pretending to be Aidan, writes to Lu and they
form a friendship, which eventually leads to a closer
attachment between the young couple. Even though they've
never met, they feel they know each other on all levels
through their letters to each other, even on the most
intimate level. Aidan, in the meantime, has completely
forgotten that Lu even exists.
After several years of writing letters, a tragic events
forces a time for the couple to finally be married. When
Lu finally arrives at the remote home of the brothers; she
discovers that the Aidan she meets isn't at all like the
man who has been writing to her these past years. He is
coarse and wild, and totally different from the man she
knows from their years of communication. To further
complicate matters; Lu finds herself drawn to Aidan's
brother, the enigmatic and eccentric Eamon. While Aidan
gamely and clumsily attempts to court Lu, Eamon tries to
hide himself away from her while she tries to get to know
Aidan. Lu, however, feels compelled to be with and drawn
to Eamon in ways she cannot understand. Lu herself harbors
a huge secret, one which could endanger her relationship to
either of the brothers.
ENTWINED is a lovely and enchanting little short story set
in the offbeat world of Kristen Callihan's Darkest
London
series. This series is an fascinating mixture of both the
Paranormal and the Historical. ENTWINED is well-written
and tightly plotted, as are all the books of the series;
and the story brings to life a dark and gritty tale of
mysterious events and people with secrets. Although
loosely tied to the series, ENTWINED can easily by read
standalone as a taste of the intriguing paranormal world
which author Kristen Callihan has created.
Eamon Evernight has always lived in his older brother's
shadow. While his brother is fair of hair and lithe in body,
Eamon sparks fear with his fiery locks and massive frame-and
rumors of a mysterious power. But when his brother has the
good fortune to be betrothed to a beautiful stranger, it's
Eamon's help-and quick wit and romantic heart--that he
needs. Eamon agrees to write the noble lady...a generous
offer that will forever leave him a changed man.
Lady Luella Jane Moran has no interest in an arranged
marriage and tries valiantly to dissuade her betrothed from
afar. Though her own letters plainly state her case, the
words her husband-to-be writes her leave her aching for his
touch. Will Lu give in to the desire the missives have
kindled within her? Or will desire turn cold when she
discovers their true author?
