True and Steady Love

The story of Fiona and Alec's love is sweet and romantic. May McGoldrick's books are wonderful in that the main characters are always trusting of the love they have for one another and they have faith in each other. They are not easily swayed by the opinions of others, nor do they doubt the love they have for each other so quickly. The problems they encounter are substantial and their bond is strengthened by their joint efforts to help and support each other. I truly dislike romance books which contain formulas to string the readers along with superficial plot devices. I guess I enjoy books where the problems are real and make more sense... This may sound ambiguous, but once you've read this book, or any of May McGoldrick's other books, you'll realize what I mean. I encourage you to pick up the other May McGoldrick books, as they wonderfully illustrate how true love should really be. Other books I'd recommend are those of Karen Ranney and a few by Mary Jo Putney. : ) Enjoy!

Angel of Skye

NOTHING COULD HIDE HER PASSION... Fiona foes not remember the years before she came to the priory on the Isle of Skye. Only the gentle Prioress knows the truth about the spirited, red-haired lass's true birhth. So it is in a simple cowl and peasant's dress that she emerges from the island's mists and faces the famed warrior chief of the Highlands, Alec Macpherson. OR STOP HIS LOVE... Alec has served King James with his sword. Now he would give his very soul to protect this beautiful girl from the intrigue that swirls around her. But Fiona wants his heart as well, and willingly he gives it...even as the king's opponents are pushing her toward a deadly trap. For hidden in Fiona's memory is the face of her mother's killer and a secret that could topple the throne. And it will take Alec's Highland strengths pitted against a foe's cruel ambitions to prove, through blood and battle, which will reign - an army's might or the powerful passions of two lovers...

LOVED EVERY WORD

This is the first book I have read of May and Jim McGoldricks'. They are a great writing couple. I love their characters, their strength, intelligence and the love they had for each other. The honesty they shared...none of the usual hate, love drivel. They kept me in suspense but not for so long I lost interest. They know how to cut to the chase and I can't get enough of their writing. I am now compiling a library of all their great KEEPERS.

I simply could not put the book down. It is a must to read.

The story of Fiona and Alec was just wonderful. The McGoldricks wrote another great novel. Fiona was the perfect heroine and Alec was a perfect complement to her. The way the entire story was revealed was spellbinding. This book is a must to read for anyone who enjoys a good romance, mystery, or someone who just likes a very good story.
