I loved the story
I read this book for a monthly challenge. I have never read a historical romance before. This was a great book, totally not my genre though. But the writing was amazing, the storyline was great. and the characters were well thought out. Even though it’s not my jam, I’m glad I read this book, the writing was so good, I could picture everything so clearly in my mind, and if I have that from a book then I know it was good.
I enjoyed the book though there were a few typos. I liked the story and the characters. I was so engrossed in the story that the pages just flew by. Logan and Sophia sure suffered through a lot of harship. But in the end I was glad things worked out. Looking forward to reading more by Fiona
Fiona Faris is a wonderful author. I received an ARC of this story from her. This story was slightly different than her previous ones in that there are not a lot of gruesome war battles. I believe the best relationship I saw and felt in this story was between Logan, the Laird, and his daughter, Ava. He is a loving nurturing attentive father. After he loses his wife in childbirth, he is depressed and in need of guidance which he finds in the form of the clan healer’s apprentice, Sophia. Sophia is a natural healer and her nurturing hands heal the clan. A lovely story of how despair can sometimes bring people together and help mend the external but especially the internal wounds, invisible to so many.
Growing up as an only child Sophia lost everything to a devastating fire set by a neighboring clan, including her father. She along with her neighbors found a new life in the Maxwell keep. As an apprentice to Fanny, the clan healer, she began to heal day by day.
Logan Maxwell, the laird, had lost his wife in childbirth. With little Ava as a daily reminder Logan had become hard and bitter. While dealing with the fire, then poisoning of his people then another attempted fire, Logan begins to open up his heart to the lass Sophia. As they fall in love Logan begins to finally heal and become the leader he used to be. A sweet romance with a sweet end.
The plot was well written and well planned and the characters were so well developed that I was totally glued to my kindle throughout the entire book!
This book by Fiona Faris gives the reader two very well written characters who face tragedy and who both live with uncertainty and a lack of confidence in where life is taking them. Both Logan and Sophia are likeable and characters you find yourself rooting for. This author’s surrounding characters are also well written in that they are memorable and add depth while moving the story along. If I have any criticism, it would be that I like a little levity and humor in my reading to balance out the struggle and sadness. I also found that in certain parts of the story, the author’s writing was a bit “wordy”: there were times that what the author was trying to convey was presented in the story in two or more additional ways. I think good editing would help present the best way to convey that part of the story. The story itself was very good and had a few unexpected turns and I really liked it. Recommend this one 🙂
I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily providing my honest review.
WOW… the emotional ups and downs I felt while reading this story were immense. Several times the story brought tears to my eyes. The characters were strong at heart, considerate under pressure, decisive, compassionate and patient (most times). The romance between Sophia and Logan was strewn through trial and tribulation. Yet they managed to connect. The story had twists and turns and will keep you turning page after page. The ending was so surprising. It took me off guard. Totally unexpected. A very good read.
This book began with a bang and I thoroughly enjoyed it! It was full of action and characters were well developed. I can’t wait to read the next one!
This story has action and drama all the way through. Lots of interesting characters, a mystery as to who is causing all the troubles and chaos. A great storyline because it is so good about the healers. It also has romance and hot chemistry. A very enjoyable book. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book and gave my honest opinion.
