A heart-warming story about patience, hope, and love.
This was an emotionally packed story that was both heartwarming and heart wrenching! Rodrick is driven by a dream to rescue Muriel MacFarland, sister of the man who almost killed him. Muriel has been kept prisoner on the Isle of Skye and has suffered unspeakably at the hands of Fergus and Anthara MacDonald. Their story is emotional but also sweet and you can’t help but want the best for both of them. I just fell in love with both of these characters and my heart went out to each of them. The author covers a sensitive subject with understanding and care and gives Muriel the hero she needs to help her through the trauma she has suffered. Rodrick did not have an easy life himself and Muriel is the perfect fit for this wonderful and honorable warrior. I was so drawn in by their story that once I started reading I just couldn’t put this book down. Suzan Tisdale is truly an amazing storyteller and she certainly had me in the palm of her hand! As a footnote I’d like to add that it may seem to some that the book ends on a cliffhanger however Muriel and Rodrick’s story ends nicely and even has a lovely epilogue. The book does end with a lead into a new story though and thus may seem like a cliffhanger to some. This is a book well worth reading and I certainly do not hesitate in recommending it.
I love all things by this author, she kept me clued to this book. You would love all of her books, they really have everything you would want in a story. The author makes you feel and think that you are in the midst of the story. You really feel like you are one of the characters, You feel the temperature, the atmosphere and the feelings of each character. So enjoyable, She leaves you wanting more.
Good romance, great plot. Kept me riveted.
Roderick the Bold had a real challenge trying to find his “dream girl.” He made an impressive hero and I enjoyed the way he was able to save Muriel from an abusive situation. The storty was well written and believable. I enjoyed it.
Love these characters
Love the way she crafts her tales!
Love these sexy Highlander’s
I love Suzan Tisdale’s books! She reaches into the minds and emotions of the characters to weave her tale. She brings in characters from her previous books to create a sense of “family”. When you read this book, you will want to go back and read all the books in the series to find out about the other members of the clan.
I enjoy reading Susan Tisdale’s books.
Never disappointed with Suzan Tisdale’s books. Always leave you wanting to read more!
I had forgotten how much I missed reading Scottish historical romance until now. Roderick has been raised by the tribes men to be a hardened warrior but he still has his compassionate soul. The one thing he still wants, is a wife and bairns of his own. Dreams torment him nightly of a lass with hair the color of fire and emerald green eyes calling to him for help. When the dreams become too much he sets out to find her. Muriel has been held captive and tormented and waits for her brother to come rescue her. Will Roderick find the one thing he long for, a wife to give him bairns? And will Muriel learn to trust and find love with this hardened warrior? Read this emotional ride to see if they get their HEA. This is a wonderful book written as only Suzan Tisdale can. So pick it up and you won’t regret it. I give book 5 stars. I was gifted this book for my HONEST review. Thanks Suzan Tisdale for reminding me what I was missing.
Rodrick the bold a man after my own heart.
He was raised & became a hardened warrior But he never lost his gentle soul compassion for those who were abused or just not strong enough to fight or protect themselves. Don’t be fooled like I said he’s a hardened WARRIOR.
Muriel Sister to a traitor kidnapped for ransom to pay off a debt resold Abused raped by the lowest form of a man ever to walk the earth, not to mention a Wicked evil woman.
This book Like all of Suzan Tisdale’s book’s is brilliantly written , The Characters are well developed it captured your attention from Start to finish I did not want to put it down ( a lass has to sleep sometime) It has become my favorite Rodrick & Muriel are made for each other. they just have to open their hearts take a leap of faith all will be right in the end.
As always the troll of a bad guy get’s it . Again Suzan never disappoints ( though I may have a few other ideas ) Trully is an amazing book Part 3 in the series of The Mackintoshes & Mclarens
It’s a love story with some struggles & some content that might be difficult to read, Suzan approaches this content with Care & Understanding.
I was gifted this book But was under no obligation to write a review or be compensate’d to do so , This is My opinion of this book Mine Alone.
Rodrick MacElroy has been tormented by dreams of a woman that desperately needs his help ever since the traitor explained the reason for his action. The man’s sister is being held hostage. She will need to be rescued so that Rodrick can have peace of mind.
Our hero is a warrior through and through, but he has always prayed for a family of his own.
Muriel MacFarland was abducted from her shop in the city and told her father owed a large debt. That is why she has been sold. The man who bought her has abused her viciously ever since. She can’t take any more, death would be welcome. Our poor heroine needs help to find the strength needed to carry on.
Although this is part of a series you can easily read it as a stand alone, but if you are going to read all of them ( I highly recommend you do) they need to be read in order.
Lots of adventure that will pull you into our characters lives. I enjoyed every page.
