The story will make you swear at him to stop her and make you want to turn her over your knee and spank some sense into her.
A hot love story that will keep you up all night until you finish this book.
A don’t miss!
Madlen Colvin lost her mother three years ago. Now she was alone because her father was in France fighting and she missed him. He had been captured and a ransom was wanted. She sold the manor but still did not have enough. So she became a thief. She had been working on it for two years now.
Matthew Herries had hardly eaten even though he had money. He also needed a horse to get away from some English soldiers after helping a girl getaway. Just then a lad was mounting a horse so he jumped on board and off they went. It turned out the lad was a she. He kept trying to convince her he was a man of honor. She had been alone for a while and knew men would do anything to get a woman and she tried to be cautious. They had found some information that a payroll for the English was coming over a pass named Hull.
This was funny in spots, but also a little sad in others. Matthew was a Scot and the winter came on and it was time to stop warring until the weather warmed up. There were a few twists and it was entertaining. The writing kept your attention and the story flowed well. The characters were killers and scary but the main ones were gentle with each other. I kept reading, I wanted to know what was coming and it had me very interested. I highly recommend this book.
I received this ARC from the author and voluntarily reviewed it and loved it.
This is a great read.
This is the story of Matthew & Madlen. He is Highland soldier. She is an English Lady of a Lord trying to get the money for her father’s ransom who is being held by the French. They meet on the road. They end up staying together, and Madlen convinces Matthew to come with her to rob the English soldiers pay. They meet up with a terrible snow storm, among other things. There is a lot of chemistry between them, too. A lot happens in this story; some good, some not so good. In the end there are a couple of twists. There is an HEA. I like Anne Morrison’s writing a lot, and her stories are great. I recommend the reading of this book.
