Didn’t bother to finish it.
Love her books and the wonderful characters.
Not sure , read a quarter of it and just didn’t care for it.
Really enjoyed this story. Loved the characters and the story. And the twists! Especially enjoyed Cerebus, the mischievous dog.
Three cousins, granddaughters of King Edward, the eldest daughter of the Legendary Bastards of the Crown are called to the king’s deathbed to receive a bequest from Queen Philipa. The girls are allowed to choose one of the late queen’s crowns as a gift and given a heart pendant, the symbol of the special group of women known as the Followers of the Secret Heart. Each of the girls is trained to use their talents to become strong and powerful women.
Highland Secrets is the first book in Elizabeth Rose’s new Secrets of the Heart series. The story of Fia Douglas and Alastair MacPherson is an exciting adventure and a wonderful love story. It is filled with secrets, intrigue, mystery, twists and turns, surprises, and a little magic. Fia and Alastair are intelligent, strong, and focused; each determined to do what is best. She hopes to stop a war; he wants to rescue his father. Complicating their plans is their growing attraction for each other. Can they accomplish their goals without hurting each other? I recommend this one and look forward to the others books in the series.
What an amazing and original story by Elizabeth Rose. Highland Secrets is book 1 in the Secrets of the Heart series and I can’t wait for the next book in this series to come out. I found her characters wonderful, the story fabulous and the descriptions very vivid. Elizabeth has a true talent for writing and is very say to read. This is one of the most creative stories I have read in a long time. This is a love thy enemy genre and there is so much to the story I hope my review can do this book justice. This story has 3 young ladies, 3 crowns, spies, a secret message from a dead queen, an elderly teacher, 3 protective fathers who are born out of wedlock, mistrust, caring, death, grieving, healing, protection, secret society, imprisonment, wisdom, kindness, rescue, bravery but could there be love? I highly recommend you read this book, you won’t be disappointed!
Travel back in time to 1377 England with Fia Douglas, Maira Douglas and Willow Douglas on a journey like no other.
***This book was gifted to me and I am voluntarily reviewing.
Loved this book. Fia to me seemed like a romantic very different from her sisters. They discover a secret garden and why they all got the same brooch before the king died. She meets a laird who is wounded in the garden, their story goes from there.
