Customer Reviews

"Because I love ye, Gabrielle Carelton. Why else?"

I picked up this book at one of my local library's book sales. It was a fantastic read!This book is set in 16th century England and Scotland, where it mainly takes place on the borders.Gabrielle Carelton is a "sturdy" woman who is full of self doubts and worries. She is abruptly kidnapped on her way to meet her betrothed, Collin Douglas: by none other than the Black Douglas, a man reputted to be fierce and merciless, not to mention Collin's twin brother Connor. This is a story aout a man and a woman who begin as strangers and enemies, to be joined into a love to survive all of time. Its full of twists and turns, action, danger, and romance. It had the right amount of everything. I truly enjoyed reading it and I'm sure to read it several more times in the years to come.

The Best Ms. Sinclair has written

I loved this book. What made it so special was the rich and complex relationship between Connor Douglas and Gabrielle Carleton. This is one of the few romances that have something more then the perfect twosome. This vital and yet wounded woman came through a lifetime of pain for being less then perfection. Her whole life had been judged by others because she was not size nine. This handsome reiver, saw beneath the obvious flaw to what she was. Her battle to be accepted by others and her need to be just who she was a loving, passionate woman and a fit mate for anyone.The passion between these two could sizzle to a crisp, anyone standing near.Nothing shallow about this book.

Entertaining, real-life characters.

Rebecca Sinclair has written an entertaining, humorous story about some very strong-willed people. A true-to-life heroine with a true-to-life figure becomes the desire of a bigger-than-life man who truly recognized that beauty comes in more than a perfect package. More stories should be written with this in mind, it would become more real to the readers if everyone wasn't beautiful and perfectly shaped.
