Customer Reviews

Mesmerising, engrossing, haunting!!!

In Melanie Jackson's second book, and in it she weaves a tale of the Scottish Highlands, with the canny feyness that makes you think she lived it in another time. I write history and lore of the Picts and Celts, so I generally cringe when I read a Scottish Historical. NOT THIS ONE!!!From the opening pages, she takes you into the mind of a woman who stands alone, who has the full weight of her clan upon her shoulders, cares little for men and the wars, only the survival of her people and she is willing to ensure this even to committing murder.I could not put this book down!!WISE Writers and Readers Historical Selection

Well worth reading!

This book was awesome! You could feel the mist and smell the sea air and those ghostly wails positively gave you the shivers. I must congratulate Ms Jackson on a brilliantly written novel with great atmosphere, strong loveable characters, and a wonderful plot. Can't wait to see what she writes for us next!

I am delighted to recommend Iona

Good well-researched exciting historical romances are hard to find so I am especially pleased to have found Iona. A high-spirited Scottish love story plays against a wild Scottish coastal background where dangers from the past confront the deadly dangers of political wars. A beautiful Scottish woman who would do anything to save her people finds her hardest choices lie with the dangerous man she loves. If you enjoy a well-plotted well-written and above all well-researched tale with wonderful characters you can really care about, you'll want to reach for Iona, too.

Iona is a must in every historical romance reader's library

This book has everything you could want in it from stormy seas and wailing ghosts to romance and strong heroines. Ms. Jackson is very true to the time period and certainly places you right there. I loved the scene in the cave when they were digging up the treasure and he was trying to ignore the wailing sounds of ghosts and she kept talking about them. It was so good. Please write another book soon!!

Iona is tops, a romantic adventure, you can't put it down

I love historicals and this is one of the best I've ever read!!! It has everything in it. You feel like you're there the descriptions are so clear. I loved Lona, the heroine. She's smart and strong. I hope Melanie Jackson continues to write many more books.
