Customer Reviews

Enjoyable

This was a good story. I enjoyed the interaction of the main characters. The dialogue between Johanna and Drummond was more brisque than in many Scottish Highlander Romances which I prefer. I felt that the ending came too suddenly with many loose ends not tied up. It was a bit disappointing.

Wonderful Love Sory

This was a superb love story. Johanna was a marvel. I loved her spunk and her love of life. Drummond proved to be a good man. I wanted to have doubts about him but I guess 7 years in prison changes a person. They proved to be wonderful together and made a good family life for Alasdair. I can't wait to read Maiden about Johanna's sister, Meridene.

A wonderful read, that you jsut can't put down.

This is one of the best historical romances I have ever read. You must read this if you like romance. The characters were very devolped, and you felt as if you where one of the characthers. You should all read this book.

A sensual sweeping historical romance

The story was so well developed and the characters were unforgettable. Johanna was a strong and intelligent herorine and it was very interesting how the author contrasted her character with her sister Clare's character. I ended up admiring Johanna but I understood how Clare could have made the choices she did. And Drummond was a great hero. Wow what a Man!! He was sensual, sexy,intelligent. I love the authors style of writing ,the story had everything that make a book good- intrigue, sweeping historical events, sexual tension, great characters that you really liked. The child character Alasdair was very well developed and added and extra dimension to the book. I also loved the cover.This is the first time I have read this author and now I am a fan, I want to read all her books!

Beautiful historic romance

This is a beautiful romance set in the early 1300's. Drummond, a great chieftain, was captured by Edward (I) of England and imprisoned with animals for seven years. He felt betrayed and thought his wife unfaithful. When he is released and returns to his home, he finds his wife is different than he remembered. The story captures beautifully their attempts to learn to know each other and finally to love each other.While child characters in romances are often thrown in as an apparent afterthought to say something cute every now and then, Alisdair is a wonderfully developed child character.
