A Smoking Story

Draven is a man who has not spoken a word in twenty years. Faith is a woman chosen to lead her clan but because of a brutal attack she doubts herself and her ability to lead her people. She chose the Cameron Devil because she assumed that "a dead man tells no tales". And, that the true father of her babe would never return, she was wrong on both counts. Ms. Waters has crafted a remarkable story of how much turmoil the human spirit can withstand, and the power of love and compassion. This book had me enchanted from start to finish for several reasons. One, I wondered if Faith would be able to love and love someone in spite of what happened to her and two, if Draven would ever found his voice again. For the paranormals out there, this story has that too. Draven is truly a witch of outstanding powers, that even he fears them. If you have not read it yet, check it out.

Now This Is Romance! It's been a while since I've found a historical that I couldn't put down. Thanks to Heather Waters, I now have a couple days of laundry to catch up on. It was terrific to read something different. Both main characters had huge personal demons to face. Through their growing love for one another, their eyes were opened to how blessed they really were. In the end, when it seemed their people would turn on them, Draven and Faith stood by each other against the world. It was great to read about two characters who I could really like... Faith has backbone, but she's not Superwoman. She has pride, but she's not nasty to people who offer her help. She's good- hearted, but not without flaws. When she recognizes her mistakes, her remorse is genuine. Draven is a warrior with magic in his blood. He can command fire, and heal the sick and the wounded. Although the world he lives in considers him evil, he never seizes to use his powers to help the very people who scorn him. As painful as his life has been, he hates the thought of causing pain in kind. A body and mind of immense power, with a heart of pure unselfishness. Faith was attacked in the forest two months ago. Discovering she is pregnant, she names a man whom she believes has been executed for witchery as the father. She claims to have been with him willingly. She can't bare the shame of admitting that she was too weak to fight off a rapist. Better to name a man who will never be confronted by her clan. Faith's uncle, Laird Elliot Maitland, won't rest until he gets justice for his niece. Arriving at the Cameron keep, he demands that Draven Cameron return to Maitland and marry Faith. To Faith's shock, Draven is still alive. To her horror, he is about to be burned at the stake by his own father, right in front of her eyes. She again claims Draven as the father, this time to save his life. Fearing the wrath of the much larger Maitland clan, Draven's father releases him to the Maitland Laird. Faith believes that Draven's powers are not evil, but true miracles from God. Few people agree with her, including Draven. Draven was more than ready to die. He resents Faith for robbing him of his chance to finally know peace. When Faith decides she needs to spare Draven from being forced to marry her, Draven can't bare to see her suffer the shame of admitting the lie. He claims the child as his own and marries her. Faith is feeling greatly humbled. Knowing the unborn child was conceived in violence, she can't bring herself to care for it. Yet a man whom has no blood tie to the child is claiming it for all the world to hear. Draven is baffled. After a lifetime of being called the Devil, a God- fearing woman is standing by him against all who scorn him. What he has been taught are traits of evil, Faith is insisting are gifts from God. Both Faith and Draven are finding the miracles around them through the patience and acceptance of one another. Draven vo

Spellbinding!

WOW! What an amazing debut. Draven is someone who has been an outsider all his life - the subject of scorn, rumors and worse. Faith has had a life of advantage, to the point of being next in line for Laird - until she is raped and left pregnant by an unknown assailant. She names Draven, whom she thinks has just been executed, as the father. News of his demise was greatly exaggerated, however, and Faith is forced to go through with her deception. The pair soon find themselves married and the story of how they fall in love and that love heals both their wounded souls is beautifully written. I've pretty much given up hope of reading any romance without at least a touch of the paranormal these days, but I loved the way the author handled that element of the storyline. She addresses the superstitions that would have naturally accompanied any type of unexplained phenomenon during the middle ages - as well as how someone of the Christian faith might come to terms with it. A refreshing change from the constant pagan, druid and wiccan themes so common in paranormals these days. Heather Waters has the potential to join the ranks of the best. I hope she keeps writing them like this!

Outstanding Book

This book is outstanding. The storey grabs you from the begining. You find yourself torn between continuing to read because you want to know what happens and putting the book down because you don't want the storey to end. The mark of a great writer is to get the reader to forget they are reading and believe they are actually there. As you are reading this book you can actually hear the sounds, smell the odors and feel the pain of the charcters. You'll find yourself laughing and crying and profoundly moved while reading this book. It would make a great movie!

Possessed with love.

Draven Cameron was an outcast and tormented soul who thought he would always be alone. He felt no love for his Father who beat him til he bled, and kicked him when he was down. Then came a woman who changed all that and her name was Faith. Faith Maitland rescued Draven from the vile father who was trying to burn him at the stake.Then she forced Draven into marriage claiming he to be her babe's sire. This author is outstanding in the tale of two people who couldn't trust their hearts. But as they say, love conquers all!
