Customer Reviews

Romantic....

I loved Jamie and I thought Isobel was a perfect mate for him. Wow, Jamie was so handsome, he's the type of guy no woman would mind being stranded with in the forest, especially the lovely place he took Isobel. Jamie was so sexy it didn't matter that their one real love scene wasn't described in too much detail, or that subsequent love scenes were left more to the imagination than written dialogue. This was because Jamie was SO romantic. The story was very good and held my interest throughout.

pulls at your heartstrings

I bought this book while browsing and reading the customers reveiws. I love Scottish tales and discovering Susan King was a treasure! I have since read 3 more of her novels- just finishing The Angel Knight- and I loved it as much as Laird of the Wind. You pay a little more attention to Susan Kings work, if you like accurate history it is wonderful. This story is so vivid, in your mind's eye you can picture the settings. I can't say enough good about this book. About all of her books! Like one reviewer said, you can't wait to get to the ending, but wish it never would!

Simply wonderful

Ms. King always delivers a winner and this novel is no exception. LAIRD OF THE WIND is a touching and tender love story that takes readers back to a different time and place, one whose mystery and beauty is evident on each page. Don't miss it!

A truly wonderful, beautiful story.

There are not enough adjectives to describe this wonderful book. Susan King's Laird of the Wind is a beautiful story. I could not put the book down. I started reading Sunday night and ended up taking a half day off from work to finish it. This is the first of her books I have read and I plan on reading all of them. She knows what real romance and love is all about. She has not only created a story that pulls you in as soon as you begin reading, she gives you characters that stay with you long after you have finished reading the last page, and a wonderful glimpse of the history of Scotland. I truly loved this book!

A stunning, lyrical tale with characters you can't forget.

LAIRD OF THE WIND is another shining gem in the treasure chest of Susan King's stunning tales of Scotland. Ms. King combines impeccable research with a style of writing so rich and lyrical, it is a feast for the mind. I always learn something new when I read her work, though that's not what brings me back eagerly every time.What brings me back is her skill at creating an impossible love set against unsurmountable challenges, at evoking such powerful emotion and vivid characters that I am assailed by simultaneous urges to both devour the pages and slowly savor every word. Her books are rich and haunting...and no matter how rich and filling the treat, I can't bear for it to end.James Lindsay is a hero I'm still thinking about days after. He's complex, driven, strong, honorable and haunted--the kind of many-layered hero I find altogether irresistible. Together, he and the lovely, mystical Isobel are magic. (And I want to visit their aerie--Ms. King has described! ! it so vividly that I feel both like I've been there and like I must touch the stone walls, slide into the crystalline pool and feel the kiss of the wind on my own skin.)When you finish this book, you'll be glad she has written others because you won't want to have to wait for the next release. Her level of skill is such that going backward in reading her work will not disappoint you--even her earliest work is so terrific that you'll see why Susan King is a star on the rise.
