I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
*Warning* Cliffhanger at the end. This story is action packed. From page one you delve into the scene of the four Scottish Baird brothers riding for their lives away from the English. From the eldest on down the line they sacrifice their lives so the others may live. Till there is one. Finley. With an arrow in his side he collapses and is found by a clan fleeing from an English massacre to their new home in the highlands. They take him in and heal him. Finley was the most brilliant of his brothers. A man of honor, intelligence, wisdom, strategy and leadership. The English had murdered his parents, brothers and the rest of the men, women and children of his clan. He was the last of the Bairds. He had much to grieve and his hatred for the English was second to none. Until he met the Laird of the clan that took him in. Lady Isla was blessed as her father’s heir to take over the clan when he passed. The English murdered most of their people and now they were on the run. Her father’s plan which was now hers was to take the clan to a remote area far, far away up in the Highlands where they would not be disturbed by war. Isla was as intelligent as she was beautiful. She is the epitome of a highland warrioress. She had the clan’s approval, faith and trust. She would not let them down. Finlay and Isla had the same thing in common. A hatred of the English noblemen who were exterminating their people, destroying everything in their path systematically as they traveled. Also, they were both wanted by a gluttonous despot noble Lord Henry. He wanted Finlay dead and wanted Isla as his bride. Henry was a horrible man, worthless as a leader and a disappointment to his father the Earl. Henry was going insane abandoning the King’s mission in order to pursue Isla and to slaughter what was left of her clan. Now that Finlay was by Isla side and her clan had accepted him as one of their own, he would not let her or their clan down. There was an attraction between Finlay and Isla that they tried to deny but it was impossible. It caused Isla no end of confusion as to their future if there was one. Finlay with the utmost consideration and care allowed her to break with him and then call him back into her arms a few times. The English were hot on their heels and they had to come up with a way to fend them off even though the odds were not in their favor. They would fight for their honor for a free Scotland for future generations. This is a must read they face death on several occasions trying to outwit the English. They find allies along the way. But Henry ruthless pursuit of Isla was getting closer and closer. Do not pass this book up. It will keep you glued to each page hungry for more, waiting to see what will happen next. You will not be disappointed.
It is not often you find an author who can make you feel like you are there. Not just reading about it. Finlay and his brothers were fleeing these people whose only purpose was to kill them. Finlay is the only one who makes it to a cave to hide and try to heal. You can feel the emotions and pain as something happens to each brother. Isla and her Gypsy clan find him and take him in. It just gets even more exciting from there. It is dramatic, intriguing, emotional, edge of your seat reading. And it is so enjoyable. I highly recommend it. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it.
This is the story of Finlay & Isla. The last of his clan and family, namely his brothers, were killed by the Sassenach. He is seriously injured and is found by one of Isla’s men and is brought to camp to be tended to so he can heal. Most of Isla’s clan was killed, also, and the rest of them are retreating North, hopefully to live in peace. Isla is the head of her clan. They encounter many obstacles on their journey. There is much action in this story. This ongoing story in this series of the Highlander’s of the McCall Clan is an excellent read. Looking forward to the next book.
This one grabbed me where I live! The heroine is a warrior woman and not some fragile milksop lady, but she’s ALL woman. I loved Isla and Finlay, and together they were unbreakable! Henry had me seeing red, blood red!! Evil, deranged, hateful brute!! Grrr… Emotion overload at times for me, but I couldn’t pause or put it down. I was pulled in and held hostage by the characters and storyline. I’d love to read Isla’s sister’s story. Hint hint*
