Greene creates very intriguing characters. The heroism and selflessness Brody is so touching. The bravery of Megan is inspiring. I thoroughly enjoyed the seldom explored historical setting of this book. Readers who enjoy the complexities of castle life and defying cast life will enjoy this book.
Masquerade Marriage by Anne Greene is a captivating story of war, hate, family and love set in Scotland in 1746. I learned a lot of history relating to the war between Scotland and England that I never knew. The author is to be commended for creating such strong, courageous characters and for the historical research she did. I rated it a four.
History comes alive in this adventurous Scottish romance written by Anne Greene. Our family lost a great deal in the Battle of Culloden and I have often wondered what it might have been like to have lived after that horrific defeat.
I was captivated by this story of bravery of both Brody MacCauley and Megan MacMurray. Brody not only fought for what he believed in at great sacrifice to himself, but he also is left with the weighty responsibility of caring for his wounded clansmen. The spirited Megan showed great fortitude in going against her family’s wishes of marrying a wealthy lord to help the condemned soldiers. The story was well crafted, bringing in history with exciting events and endearing characters. This is book one in the Scottish Marriage Trilogy. I look forward to reading the other two books
Thank you to the author for a free copy of this book. I was not required to write a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I loved this book from start to finish. The story line, the characters, and the suspense had me on the edge of my seat through the entire book. I can’t wait to read more of Anne’s work, as she’s a very talented author.
Masquerade Marriage by Anne Greene is a historical romance centering around Scotland in the mid-1700s. It’s a story of a Scottish war between the English and the Scots and a story about families and the things we do for those who we love. Somewhat impetuous and bold, Megan, a young Lowland woman weds a Highlander to save his life and herself from an arranged marriage to an odious man. The characters are strong and vibrant, yet not without their flaws and faults. The story line is full of action and suspense, often keeping the reader on the edge of the seat wondering how it all will turn out. Will the mismatched bride and groom fall in love? Will they even live long enough to do so? The author gives a lot of interesting history of Scotland and uses the Scottish brogue throughout giving an interesting cadence to the reading of the book. Included at the beginning of the book is also a glossary of Scottish words that might be unfamiliar to the reader. I won the book in a contest from Book Club network. I was not required to write a review and the opinions are my own.
