HISTORICAL ROMANCE AT IT'S BEST

I LOVE TO READ!..SUSPENSE, THRILLERS, MURDER MYSTERIES, MILITARY ESPIONAGE, AND ROMANCE!!! WHEN I WANT TO READ A ROMANCE, CONNIE MASON NEVER FAILS ME. I LOVED THIS STORY, WITH IT'S RICH HISTORIC BACKDROP, WITH THE EMOTIONS OF TWO PEOPLE TRYING TO PROTECT EACH OTHER BY KEEPING SECRETS. THIS IS THE STUFF OF ROMANCE. THE SEX IS HOT, THE PLOT IS ENTICING (WITH A TOUCH OF MYSTICAL), AND THE CHARACTERS COME TO LIFE. CONNIE MASON HAS A WAY OF PULLING YOU INTO A BOOK; WITH DESCRIPTIONS OF CLOTHING, CUSTOMS, AND THE MIND SET OF THE TIME PERIOD. I FEEL AS THOUGH I AM THERE. I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING. BUT OHHH, DO NOT FORGET THE LOVE STORY. I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN, EACH PAGE HAD ME WANTING TO KNOW MORE. I FOUND MYSELF WORRYING ABOUT HOW THINGS COULD POSSIBLY WORK OUT, BUT THEY DID. AN EXCELLENT ROMANCE, SPELLBINDING TO THE END, LIKE ALL CONNIE MASON READS!! I KNOW THIS IS A GOOD BOOK BECAUSE I WAS A LITTLE SAD WHEN I FINISHED IT, I DIDN'T WANT TO LET IT GO.

EXCELLENT!!!!!

I enjoy the way Connie Mason writes her leading ladies. This book was another example of why. Rather than another helpless little waif, Blair is written as a strong and powerful woman. She is a faery woman, with the powers of healing and foresight. A nice mystical twist that makes the story unique. Blair must fight against people who try to take her life, claiming her to be a witch.The hero is so hot! Brave, honorable, strong, everything you want in a man. You'll get good laughs out his imagined idea of what Blair must look like, before he met her face to face. Having heard the rumors that Blair is a witch, Graeme's mind brings up images that will crack you up.Terrific love scenes! The relationship between the two main characters is believable and passionate. This story never once slows down. Exciting battles and triumphs.This was my first Connie Mason book. I can't wait for more!

Once Again...Connie Mason Doesn't Disappoint

If you are a Connie Mason fan--well then you won't be disappointed with this story either. I LOVED the mystical feel of this book. Now I just want her to write more to continue on with the family....So, Connie if you are reading this....please write a sequel!

LOVED IT GREAT BOOK

Connie did it again. I could not put the book down. The story is about Graeme Campbell and Blair MacArthur. She is a Faery Woman and healing was her life. But legend foretold she would lose her powers if she gave her heart to the wrong man. So the last thing she wanted was an arranged marriage. Especially to the Highland Laird Graeme Campbell who already haunted her midnight dreams. I give it 5 stars.

What I think....

Connie Mason did a good job in making her book a little unique than the others. Laird of Stonehaven is about a Faery women, Blair, who is a healer and a seer. People consider Faery women to be evil, and a witch. Whenever she is around people, they draw away from her and curse her for being a "witch." Yet, somehow Blair manages to win most of the villagers' hearts. Blair's brother Niall and friend Mccay partner up to control Blair's wealth and her "powers." Knowing of Niall's evilness, Blair's father urges Graeme, Laird of Stonehaven,to wed her so that she would be saved from Niall's evil plans. Blair refuses to love him, for that will break her healing gifts if she loved, and the love not returned. Only way for the healing gifts to keep intact is if they both love each other. Blair thought he was uncapable since he told her of his broken heart, and loving a pure woman. He takes her to his home, and tries to protect her from harm. However, some accidental events took place that caused her harm. She has to face fire, water, and stone in order to pass the test. Graeme has a hard time believing that she's a healer who has good intentions. He also has a hard time fighting back his emotions for her.I enjoyed reading this book. I love Connie Mason's books, so I know this book wouldn't disappoint me. The storyline was a little iffy for me, since I'm not really into reading books about spirits, witchcraft. But I gave it a try since Mason wrote it. I'm glad that I bought it. It's definitely a little different from her books, but refreshing to see a little variety from the normal story plot. She did a great job with the characters and the plot, yet I thought she kind of did most of the sex plots the same, kind of like cut and paste in certain places. But overall, I would say it's worth buying and a good read. If you are Connie Mason's fans like me, then you already have a copy of it! If not, get it!
