Because I truly wish I could marry a Scot.
She belonged to another… But was
destined to be his…
Lady Arbella de Mowbray abhors the idea
of marrying an English noble occupying Scotland. When she arrives in Stirling,
she is thrown into the midst of a full battle between the Scots and the
English. Besieged by rebels, she is whisked from her horse by a Highland
warrior who promises her safety. But when he kisses her she fears she's more in
danger of losing herself.
The last thing Magnus Sutherland wants
is to marry the beautiful English lass he saved. As the laird of his clan, he
has a responsibility to his clan and allies. But when Arbella is attacked by
one of his own men, he determines the only way to keep her safe is to make her
his. A decision that promises to be extremely satisfying.
Magnus brings Arbella to his
home of Dunrobin Castle in the Highlands. And that’s where the trouble begins…
Their countries are at war and they should be each other’s enemy. Neither one
considered their mock marriage would grow into a deeply passionate love. What’s
more, they were both unhappily betrothed and those who've been scorned are out
for revenge. Can their new found love keep them together or will their enemies
tear them apart?
I love me a Scottish romance. And this one was a little
different than the many many others that I have read. This time he saves her,
than marries her to save her some more. And this time it’s not about rival
clans…oh no. It’s the war between the English and the Scottish in the 1200s and
a certain Brave-hearted William Wallace ever makes a littler appearance. So it
tickled the historian in my a little. Then there were the characters.
Arbelle…she willing admits that she can somewhat fight, but that in a battle
she may not be that good. But, she still tries. Points to her. Then there is
Magnus…the big softy. Or so you think. He is a good man, but then he is
determined to woo her. He says he won’t kiss her until she asks, but he likes
the process of making her ask. Teasing her at every moment. She has an iron
will I tell you. There were some things that I found a little off, like the
fact that she falls for him in about two days. However, taking into consideration
he time and the fact that he saves her twice and is a complete gentlemen…he’s a
keeper and ever woman would know it. There was a lot of swooning going on.
Arbella—a fighter, but not a warrior and willing to admit
it. But, stubborn as heck. Love it
Magnus—a good guy. A softy. A hunk. A Keeper.
Also, there was some battle, and promise of more to come.
The time in which they fall for each other seemed a
little far-fetched. I guess I’m not a believe of love at first sight. For those
that are they will probably love this.
Overall I found the characters interesting and the story
line interesting as well. I never had to re-read anything or got confused
(expect sometimes trying to remember who was who). Instead I was whisked away
to a land filled with hot plaid-covered warriors with warm hearts that, in
turn, warmed mine.
