Brilliant story. Brilliant end to the series.Connor was written in a more sensitive manner than you would have expected. It gave his character another dimension. A hard warrior, a leader to make sacrifices for the clan, a son not credited much by his late father and much unhappiness from the memo...
Reviewed by AllisonBook provided by Publisher Review originally posted at Romancing the BookReview: Margaret Mallory has written a beautifully rich, romantic story in The Chieftain, the 4th book in Return of the Highlanders series. From the setting, to the characters, to the plot, it is a fanta...
There are not glittering ball rooms and satin dresses in this novel, so if that is what your after then best look somewhere else. But if you are looking for a novel with a heart wrenching romance and historical events then by all means dive right in! Cathrine and William are brought together just...
Ok, I really enjoyed this book, it tickled me through and through! I thought Catherine's character was great, a nice and strong heroine who didn't spend time feeling sorry for herself and waiting on someone else to save her. Those are my favorite types of women in books, the strong resilient type...
Being a fan of historical fiction, I figured this book would be a nice way to ease into reading romance. Yes, this is the first romance novel I've read completely through. Normally I give up a couple chapters in, so having finished says a little something. I liked that there was some action in t...
It had been like this for a week now, and she was feeling the strain—as was the entire household. When she set down her eating knife, she felt Alex’s eyes on her and could not help giving him a sideways glance. There were lines around his eyes, and his expression was grim. Smiles rarely graced hi...
It was her own damned fault they were here. She was the one who had advised Rory to seek Lovat’s support and to delay going to Castle Leod until he gathered his supporters. This was a fine time for a man to finally take her advice. Rory’s decision to leave her had caught her by surprise, and she’...
Will called from the floor above. “I can’t,” David said over his shoulder, and continued down the stairs two at a time, with Robbie close behind him. “But I know where they’ve gone!” David came to an abrupt halt and leaned back to look around the curve of the wheeled stairs at his youngest brothe...
Footsteps? They sounded too light, and no torchlight shone on the stairs. Clink, clink. Duncan heard a key turning in the lock, followed by the slow creak of the iron door swinging open. Perhaps the guards had returned for another attempt to beat the plans for the attack o...
Catherine was content to watch the firelight play across the planes of his face and spark gold in his hair as he built the fire. How she had missed the sight of him! She smiled at him each time he glanced over his shoulder. She understood his need to reassure himself she was truly here, for she f...
Rodents were less likely to bite if you kept moving. She had learned that useful lesson when her grown idiot brothers locked her in the cellar, hoping to make her cry and scream, the last time she was fool enough to visit them. At each turn, she cursed someone. First she cursed the Spaniard for g...
After the quiet weeks of November and early December, Windsor had become abuzz with activity overnight. Servants scurried to and fro, hanging greenery and preparing chambers for the many guests expected to arrive for Christmas Court. Jamie preferred the castle when it was ...
Linnet scolded Stephen as she let him and François into Isobel’s chamber. “You must save her from that horrid man.” Stephen sighed. At least the twins were on his side. Isobel had been so angry when he tried to apologize for not yet speaking to the king. Damn, he should ha...
