Despite the medieval setting, I found the characters attitudes and language to be much to modern for the setting. With it's convenient ending, this book is lacking in the tapestry of the times and generally lacking in pizazz. ( )

(REAL NAME)
Sir Alexander MacGruder was a man on a mission. He wanted revenge on the bloody English who murdered his father. He wanted to defeat the English Lords from taking away any more rights and lives from his homeland, Scotland. Thus decided, he was to kidnap the Baron of Monceaux, an adviser to King Edward, and hold him for ransom. His path was clear, but a lovely English lady caught him unawares: the sister of his enemy, Lady Nichola Westcott. What was a man to do in this situation? Why not take the Lady instead, and hope he can withhold his heart at the same time.
This new author has told a tale of love and hope, when Scottish were against the English. Ms Cosby is a true talent in storytelling. She writes a prose so well, that this reader did not want the story to end. I can't wait til the next one. Bravo!
