Highland Spring 5* – The Stolen Sister. An enjoyable story about a young woman whose whole life has been based on a lie and has never been allowed to be anything but a stoic warrior. How she copes with being suddenly married and a surrogate mother and her conflicting emotions; torn between old loyalties and new. I have been waiting to find out what happened to Spring who was stolen as a baby from her family and I was not disappointed. Recommended read.
Summer’s Reign 5* – Summer’s Sacrifice is Finally Rewarded. I have wanted to see Summer get her Happy Ever After, ever since she volunteered to marry Baron Mowbray in exchange for her brother Reed’s life (Reckless Highlander). After 4 years of misery her husband has unexpectedly died but her freedom will not last long. Unusually for the times, the King has agreed that she can choose her next husband but it must be within the month, or the King himself will arrange her next marriage. Summer is determined that her next husband will not be a cruel tyrant and is not at all happy that the King has appointed her husband’s nephew as her protector and advisor. With well developed characters and interesting plot, this is a recommended read.
Autumn’s Touch 5* – Autumn is a gifted healer and after being struck by lightning is able to channel energy to speed up healing. This gift makes her both feared and a prize for any warlord. Autumn is abducted by the men of the feared Lord Ravenscar and held prisoner by him but as the days go by she finds that the “Beast” has a softer side. Can she turn him from the dark and make him a leader to be admired rather than feared? A good book which I had trouble putting down even to sleep!
Winter’s Flame 4* – Lady Winter Douglas has been fascinated since she was a child with the art of the Blacksmith and inveigled the finest to teach her the art. Having known him since she was a child, Winter considers Wallace her friend and when she realises his eyesight is failing him, and that he is unable to complete even the simplest of pieces, she insists on forging a sword made of fine Damascus steel for Lord Martin de Grey, so that Wallace’s son will be returned to him. Winter knows that noblemen do not consider women can be skilled at anything; she must pretend that Wallace is making the weapon and she is merely assisting and she must keep her status as a noblewoman secret as Lord de Grey will never accept a Lady in his forge. However she doesn’t take into account that as a commoner she can be taken to a noble’s bed and be unable to object and Martin de Grey is very taken with the ‘Blacksmith’s daughter’. He is less objective when he discovers he has been deceived!
An interesting story, where we the reader, get to find out about the art of sword making and the lot of women in this time period. In the final chapter, we meet up with all of Winter’s siblings and their expanding families at a Christmas feast.
I have read the above books individually and copied my reviews to this boxed set.
I purchased each of these titles separately. How wonderful to have them all in one collection! Loved the series.
