| Rhiannon has suffered for years in a foggy haze of painful headaches and uncertainty. With no memory of who she is, or who her family is, she has been under the care of Baron Linwood unknowingly being groomed to become the wife of an earl. The same day that Rhiannon learns of the future planned for her, she sees a stolen painting in her guardian's home that she is inexplicably drawn to. Believing that she may be somehow related to the subject of the painting, she and her lady maid flee to Florence in search of the artist and hopefully some answers. She finds both in the form of Dante, an Abcynian Elder and also her destined mate. As she heals and begins to build her life with Dante, the shadow of a threat hangs over her head for she knows the Baron and Earl will go to any lengths to reacquire her.
Rhiannon's Pride was a wonderful read! Exceptional, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The storyline was well developed and laid out in a way that flowed so smoothly that I could not put it down until I was finished with it. The background was carefully laid and the interwoven suspense was exciting. I enjoyed reading about the budding growth of love and trust between the two, especially despite the obstacles that were overcame. The characters themselves were very well developed. I admired the strength and vitality in Rhiannon even after what she went through and Dante's compassion and gentility was just wonderful. The supporting characters were also nicely developed and well worked into the storyline. Though they were not main characters, the way their roles played out left them very integral to the story. I highly recommend this book, it was one that I enjoyed very much. I know that I will be looking for more out of Frances Stockton!
