Awesome book

I am a romance freak and this is definitely romantic - well to me at least. Sheena is everything I wish for in a heroine. She holds her virtue until marriage and is also very headstrong. Jamie (the hero) is very sweet in his own way. He chose to court Sheena instead of just "take" her like other books, there is very little mushy scenes involved...but the overall book is a good and fast 3 hour read.

Wonderful Story of Scottish Clans and Enemies in Love

A Gentle Feuding" is an outstanding story! In the Highlands of Scotland, beautiful Lowlander Sheena is taken against her will to Castle Kinnion and gains the interest of the Laird -- her clan's mortal enemy -- and his brother. Jamie is a hero's hero; strong, compassionate, gentle even. Sheena is simply gorgeous, a spirited heroine whose love for her brother Niall leads her into a lot of trouble -- and right into Jamie's arms. It's fun to see Jamie compete with his brother Colen for Sheena's love, and even more fun to see how Sheena tries to resist them both. There are many memorable scenes in "Gentle Feuding," including the scene where Sheena is trapped in a burning hut after a clan raid. How Jamie reacts is unforgettable. I can't complain at all about a single thing in this book, it was that good and satisfying. I'm amazed that there are reviewers who disliked Sheena because of her estranged relationship with her sisters or because of her so-called vanity. I personally believe the relationship with the sisters was realistic, and there was not a single vain bone in Sheena's body. Read "A Gentle Feuding." It's one of Johanna Lindsey's best works.

One of her best!

After two years of peace, the McKinnons and the Fergussons are feuding again. Sheena Fergusson and Jamie McKinnon are destined to come together in marriage to bring an end to the feud. But there is a third party out there who is determined to keep the feud going and bring up old wounds and hurt. This story is one of my favorites by Lindsey. Sheena and Jamie are both very likable characters and the chemistry between them is great! The love scenes are steamy and exciting and the plot is very interesting. A great book by a great author!

a classic love story

i have read all of JL's books and this one has been one of my all time favorites because it focused on Jamie's love for Sheena. Not many stories show how much a woman can affect a man. It's a nice change from the ordinary "romance" novel.

A Wonderful Reading Experience

Even through I don't normally read romance novels or a book more than once ---- I love this book and Jamie is truly my ideal of a gentleman. I picked up this book a couple of weeks ago and have already read it twice and I plan on reading it again and again. I only wish I could've lived in that time frame and found someone as handsome inside and out as the hero -- Jamie.
