Jenefer and her cousins Feiya and Hallie have a plan to drive the Highlander, Morgan, from Castle Creagor. But the three are captured and held hostage by Morgan. This is a complex novel since Morgan’s dead wife Alicia and their infant son Miles play significant roles in the plot. For some reason Jenefer seems to be the only one who can calm Miles, and she gradually falls in love with both Miles and his father. Jenefer is a warrior woman, an expert archer. She is also short tempered and often acts without thinking. The book was fun to read and often surprising.
Introduced me to a new favorite author. I devoured the three books in this series within a week and enjoyed each unique story. Love that these stories are about strong women.
Return to Rivenloch with the Warrior Daughters, as they set out to claim the castle granted to the Highlander Morgan Mor mac Giric. This widowed tragic father and his motherless infant take the daughters hostage when they try to haunt and push him out. While the daughters’ parents are away asking the King to grant the castle to the daughter Jenifer. Glynnis Campbell books about the parents would give some background but not really needed to read the Bride of Fire.
Epic 10 star! I seriously loved this story! Great Historical Romance that has substance, steamy passion and is action packed and fast paced! I could not put this down!! Great mystery and drama!! Well done indeed!!!! This is the first book I’ve read by Ms. Campbell and will definitely continue reading more of her books!!!
This is a great Highlands/Lowlands historical romance with the English thrown in for some added intrigue! This is a page turner so prepare to settle in because once you start this book you won’t want to put it down!
Wonderful descriptive writing makes you feel like you’re in Scotland with the Warrior Maids of Rivenloch and the mac Giric clan. Love grows from hate and the passion is hot!
In my opinion, if you like historical romance with action and passion you can feel, I don’t think you could go wrong with reading this book!
Their Attraction Could Not Be Denied:
A ghostly beginning had this story off to an interesting start and had me hooked from there.
Our highland warrior meets 3 warrior lasses that will change his life forever.
Morgan has brought his clan to claim his castle when he runs into trouble with a feisty warrior woman Jenefer who claims the same castle as belong to her.
I wasn’t sure from some of the reviews if I was going to like this story but I sure did. What a thrilling and fun story this was for me to read. Horrible villain like no other, sizzling attraction, passionate intimacy, a couple shocking moments and one that I yelled out loud “Oh No Danger Alert”, and so much more.
I really enjoy the entire book and would love to read the next book Bride Of Ice.
Loved this book. This is the 4th book in this series I’ve read. Love anything written by this author
Jenefer of Rivenloch is a master archer with a big personality. She’s used to getting her way, and it was honestly refreshing to have such a prominent character flaw. When her poorly-planned scheme to scare away Laird Morgan Mor mac Giric fails, she is taken as his captive.
What I loved so much about this story was the characters. I bought into them almost immediately because they stuck to their guns. I knew them well enough through the writing to understand their decisions, bringing their interactions to life.
Strong female characters make frequent appearances in historical romances, but I have never read one like Jenefer. She was unapologetically herself, and I loved her for it. Likewise, Morgan, a strong warrior and leader of his clan, was struggling with his life as a widower with a newborn. Having a hero show such a sensitive side is a rarity.
I was also skeptical about how quickly after losing his wife Morgan appears interested in Jenefer, but once again Campbell’s writing sells it. Every time I thought there would be something off-putting about the book, she deftly worked through it.
If you love a steamy romance with intrigue, action, and unforgettable characters, this is the book for you!
Great story.
Glynnis Campbell extends her Warrior Maids of Rivenloch series with the Warrior Daughters of Rivenloch. I love a warrior princess motif, and set in medieval Scotland with a Highland hero and motherless infant, what could be better for a weekend read? Can’t wait for the next releases in the series.
A mind-blowing, sizzling, full of adventure book that easily transports you to a different time, like a mental time-machine. The way Glynnis Campbell writes, makes you get into the minds of the characters, feeling whatever they feel, living whatever they do.
There were many moments that I felt frustrated with Morgan’s “willful ignorance”, stubbornness and over-loyalty. However, he is a brave man with a big heart, a human being with flaws who struggles with his responsibilities and duties. Jenefer is a strong, brave and passionate woman with boldness and a good heart. Their chemistry is amazing, they fulfill each other perfectly.
A great book that I really enjoyed!!! I can’t wait to read the Bride of Ice, the next book in the series!
I love spunky female lasses and this novel had plenty of them. My favorites are historical novels especially romantic ones. I would love to see a sequel based on this novel! Thank you!!!
Do not go past this book without reading it .Brilliant reading, The storyline is second to none
Emotionally packed! 5 stars plus
If you wish to be introduced to Glynnis Campbell’s books, ‘Bride of Fire’ will be the perfect story to start with. It’s truly a love story with plenty of emotions and adventure. It only took me a 2 days to devour. Just let yourself be carried away by this touching Medieval adventure, you won’t be disappointed! You’ll love every moments of ‘Bride of Fire’.
This author is so descriptive, that she’ll send you on a roller coaster ride of emotions, with ups and downs, she’ll even make you cry or laugh depending on the scenes. ‘Bride of Fire, is the story of a very determined, bold and head-strong woman named Jenefer of Rivenloch and a broken heart highlander with a tender touch! Jenefer is the daughter of Helena, one of the warrior maids, she is also fierce, brave and passionate. Morgan Mor mac Giric is a sweet highlander who had his heart broken and who is not ready to fall in love again. However, when he comes to claim the castle, he decides to hold captive the three Rivenloch cousins Jenefer, Hallidis and Feiyan who are so talented that they can match any men in a competition. Both, Morgan and Jenefer are fighting to possess Creagor castle! You’ll giggle during some scenes like when Morgan encounters a ‘ghost’. The three cousins will concoct a plan and decide on a strategy to escape. Will their plan work? Will they cause chaos in the castle in the process. Jenefer will spend time with Morgan for a reason et he’ll become infatuated by her and even share his most darkest secret. I loved their playful bickering between the two. But an unexpected event disrupted all their lives, the truth is revealed and a strong bond will unite the two clans. You’ll fall in love with the two main characters Jenifer and Morgan! Beautiful chemistry between the two, sometimes it’s hot, sometimes it’s cool. A kiss will do it’s magic and love will probably come back to Creagor castle.
I highly recommend this new series ‘The Warrior Daughter of Rivenloch, specially if you like spunky heroines and charming Highlanders. I’m looking forward to reading her next novel ‘Bride of Ice’.
This is the first book in the new series, The Warrior Daughters of Rivenloch. There is a short novella The Storming that I wish I would have known about. I will be reading it now.
I read all types of romance books, and lots of them like 200 a year. This book was wonderful in that the plot was not only suspenseful, intriguing, with wonderful characters but also had a shocking secret that jumps out and gets you.. talk about unexpected !!
Jenefer of Rivenloch is a warrior maid,who has a hot temper, usually always gets what she want one way or other. She is an ace Archer and fighter. She has her heart set on taking over the now empty Castle Creagor.
That is tell she learns the Child King has given it to a Heathen Highlander, one Morgan mac G
She is sure all Highlanders were filth, barbarians, half-wild creatures with tangled beards. Who would sell their own children for cows. Boy oh boy is she is for a surprise…
Morgan mac Giric hasn’t been the same since his wife Alecide died during the birthing of their son six months ago. He has suffered with sorrow and blame since burying his wife. Even his best friend Colban can’t get him to take command. He wants nothing to do with his son, blaming the bairn for killing his wife he has not even given him a name yet.
As Morgan tries to start over his very first name he is visited by a ghost trying to scare him into leaving.
He can’t believe his eyes, as the “ghost” is a very lovely, naked maid and very very much alive.
AH so starts the wonderful tale of how a confident, fearless warrior maid and a Hugh, strong, handsome warrior
will found that all is not as it seems., with help from her family and his son Miles. They will have to over come
thinking each other is the enemy, will fall in love, have great sorrow and hurt, fight wars and need learn to forgive and to trust allover again.
Truly a book will be read over again, and is now on my favorite list. Don’t miss this book, it may be the best book of the year so far.. am waiting on pins and needles for the next one to see what happens to the next cousin.
I received an ARC from the author and am giving my honest opinion.
Fighting for what she wants and standing up for herself was all she had ever known. To have it taken and to be a prisoner of the one who took it is not fair.
I laughed, I cried, and I got mad at the fates that caused Jenefer to not have what she thought she wanted.
Just when she seemed to be content with what the fates did, she has the rug pulled out from her again!
Morgan gets handed her lands, her castle, and her dreams. I felt sorry for Morgan as the story continues, he is really falling in love with the warrior lady.
One of the best books I’ve read this year! Glynnis Campbell always delivers an awesome story that grips you and will spin you in every direction until you can’t put it down and lands you in a forever happy after!
BRIDE OF FIRE by Glynnis Campbell is Book 1 of The “Warrior Daughters of Rivenloch”, series and what a beginning! Definitely a keeper! I fall in love with the setting (Medieval castle), the characters (Jenefer of Rivenloch and Morgan Mor mac Giric), and the plot.
Fast paced from the beginning to the last page and beyond. This story definitely lingers, long after the last page.
Filled with danger, strong women, yes, a widowed knight in shining armor, heroine archer, the sword fighting is awesome and the romance is sensual and loving. The scenery is breathtaking. I can’t wait to read the next adventure in this series. Edge of your seat drama, that is well written and excuted flawlessly. A must read for fans of Scottish Romance, adventure Romance, with humor and action. Highly recommended!!

Reviewer: AprilR
Glynnis Campbell is marvelous. Morgan is mourning the loss of his wife as he moves to a new home. His despair is so deep that he is ignoring his new born son. Jenifer believes that Morgan has taken over her rightful home and she is determined to reclaim. The first time they meet she ends up being trapped naked in his arms and the sparks begin to fly.
This is a spirited story, with intrigue and suspense. The females are warriors who will fight for the things they love. Morgan and Jenifer match wits and weapons and they fight their burning desire for each other. You will find pleasure as they spar and hold your breath when they are in danger. This is a story you will hate to put down once you have started. To the very end you will be pleasantly surprised.

Rivenloch, The Borders, Scotland
Autumn, 1155
Lowlander and full-fledged warrior maid, Jenefer du Lac,- is absolutely furious when she finds out her castle is being given away! Yet not to anyone but to one of those hideous highlanders! As far as Jenefer was concerned Castle Creagor was on her land not some bloody Highlanders! It should be her Castle, no matter what the bloody boy king says!
Jenefer heard these Highlanders were hairy, smelly, barbarians that had tangled hair and beards! Plus it was noted these disgusting apes ate baby sheep, including garnishing their weapons with their enemies body parts! Than again, what do you expect from a fourteen year old boy King.The reason why Jenefers parents went on a journey to reason with the King. Yet impatient Jenefer was a wildcat with no patients, ready to demand war with these primitive uncivilized, brutes! Yet she was not prepared for this swoon worthy, beautiful man, as the tables were turned with such great warrior skills as she and her warrior cousins were now hostages of Laird Mogan Mor mac Giric!
This Laird moved to the lowlands to forget his pain and grief if possible. Three months ago he lost his wife in childbirth. He blames himself and his son for her death. It is so extreme, that he does not even look at him nor name him. He has been in a deep depression and filled with guilt blaming himself for her death. It isn’t until he feuds with this lowland warrior beauty, that this honorable highlander sees his true faults. Yet he feels so guilty being attracted to this woman plus this wild lowlander warrior is his hostage.
Jenefer du Lac, names his son Miles. As Morgan has not revealed he is the father. Just to protect his son, soon realizing how horrible he has been blaming his innocent bairn for his wife’s death. He also sees how this beauty and his son are building a bond. Jenefer is the only one who can calm his son and can stop his tears. His son responds only to her in a nurturing way as if she were his parent. Yet Morgan doesn’t realize just how strong until Miles is in danger and she steps in to become the savior for both of them. As things aren’t the way any of them expected and they are surrounded by dark and dangerous forces.
Will a man who promised never to marry ever marry again? Can Morgan act on the strong attraction and feeling he has for Jenefer with his feelings of guilt. Will Jenefer’s parents convince the King to give the Castle to Jenefer to make her the Laird? Will Jenefer and Morgan ever open their hearts to each other. So many unanswered question for this captivating and delightful story.
Best selling author,Glynnis Campbell, pens another phenomenal, heartwarming, Rivenloch masterpiece. As she continues her spectacular Rivenloch maids story with her new series “The Rivenloch Warrior Daughters”. As always easy to get lost in this wonderful story that will make you feel every emotion filled with laughter, fear, betrayal, deception, treachery, heartbreak, hatred, tears, joy, honor, happiness and of course love.
The dialogue is magnificent, the characters are so amazing you can’t help but feel for each one. The plotting is absolutely brilliant, as you can’t help but wonder what could possibly happen next. This author definitely pulls your heartstrings plus racing your pulse with delight. All the settings are breathtaking too!
It’s a fast paced, page turning, riveting, romantic-adventure, from start to finish. It is filled with all the elements historical romance readers love. Fans of strong, independent women will absolutely love this book too. As I find all the Rivenloch warrior maids novels very addictive myself. As each one is so magnificent, so I was thrilled to hear of this new series. Now I can’t wait for Bride of Ice and Bride of Mist which I assume will be her cousin’s Hallie and Feiyan’s novels!
I could not put this book down as it had me totally mesmerized the whole entire read! Bravo,Glynnis Campbell, it is no wonder I have been reading this authors books since her debut! It was her RITA nominated book, “My Champion” in her first book in her {Knights of de Ware} series. This was almost 20 years ago and I have never stopped. I absolutely and unequivocally love her style of writing and her books. She has the rare ability to put in humor even if a lot of the book may have a dark side or even murder. I find her talent extraordinary and magnificent as an author it’s definitely one you don’t want to miss!

What I like about this book, the humor, it had me laughing out loud, they mystery, the suspense, the action and treachery and most of all the characters. Each character had a special part to play including young Miles and they were written to perfection. I enjoyed the fact that there wasn’t a lot of filler with the story all about the relationship between each of the characters. There was some sex but this reviewer as usual skipped it and it didn’t affect my enjoyment of the book. This book can be read as a stand alone but half way through I had to go and buy the cousins mothers stories (Maids with Blades) as the references had me intrigued.
The thing I didn’t like about the book, was I now have to wait for the next one as there was a hidden mystery that needs to be answered.
I received this book as an ARC and give my honest review.
