If you are looking for a page turning story this is it. If you are looking for more action and scary adventure than this is it. What an emotional roller coaster ride this was. There was sadness, danger, death, suspicion, the quest for freedom of imprisonment and familial slavery. This story chronicles the life of the H and h before they met and after they met. I loved the h and H immediately. The H was honorable, kind, thoughtful and noble. The h was facing an arranged marriage when the H came to rescue her because of a promise he made to his dying best friend who was her brother. There was so much tension filled dangerous adventure the H and h faced. The h faced it all. She was brave and never made a complaint. Her uncle was on the hunt for her and they had to travel by foot through the forests so they would not be detected. At one point they were separated. While the h thought the H was dead, he was not. He had been sold into slavery. He escaped and again went after the h. On their journey the H became deathly ill and could not travel. The h braved the rest of the way to his home by foot to find his father and get help. What bravery, what love to face the danger of the unknown, to fight for love was admirable. When the H recovered, her uncle made one last attempt to recover her. But the H, his father and their men scared him off. Eventually, he remarried the h the Scottish way. Her life was all the H promised. I loved the extended epilogue. It really was the icing on the cake. This is a must read. You will not be disappointed.
I enjoyed reading your book, but found some places hard to follow do to grammatical errors. The storyline was tragic that Aithe and Alice had to go through so much and through so many obstacles, but it was well written. I thought her uncle was a big fat jerk and needed to be smacked around I am looking forward to your next book.
Her Highlander’s Promise is a fast paced ride through the Highlands with adventure and danger! Fiona Faris has outdone herself with this story, she has given readers a book that is well-written, heart warming cast of characters, a strong plot and feelings swirls through you as you read about Aithe and Alice. Aithe a brawny highlander spends years imprisoned in a coal mine only wants one thing when he is released, to keep a dying wish made to his friend to take care of his sister Alice and protect her. Alice a young lass living with her abusive uncle can’t wait for her brother to return and rescue her from their uncle and a forced marriage. When Alice meets Aithe and learns of her brothers dying wish she agrees to run away with him and get married. A delicious passionate heart pounding story full of turmoil, steamy passion, plenty of drama, kidnapping, deceit, tears, trials and tribulations, while the suspense builds, tensions escalate and all twist and turns abound that makes for one outstanding story!
Aithe made a promise to Christopher both working in the mines that if anything happened to take care of his sister Alice. Aithe made good on his promise but a journey that lead to twist and turns; an uncle that wanted Alice for his pawn. He neglected her was cruel and treated her not like a human. Through the journey of escaping they had down falls and always rose from it. In the end they both got the HEA. A must read for a Scottish tale.
