Fiction.
Romance.
HTML: New York Times bestselling author Hannah Howell delivers her most enthralling novel yet with the story of an innocent beauty and an unjustly accused laird who discover a rapturous passion as they embark upon a wondrous journey across the rugged Scottish highlands... Swept overboard and stranded on the rocky shores of Scotland, Moira Robertson is left with only the tattered clothes on her back—and the mysterious stranger who came to her aid on the ship. Although their close surroundings unsettle her, she soon cannot resist his touch which awakens a burning ache deep within her. But can she trust her life—and her heart—to this darkly seductive man? Tavig MacAlpin is a condemned man. Accused of a murder he did not commit, his escape is thwarted by a flame-haired beauty. He must continue his search for justice, but fate has bound him to this Scottish lass—and to a slow, sensual desire that will not be denied… Praise for Hannah Howell and her Highland novels… “Few authors portray the Scottish highlands as lovingly or colorfully as Hannah Howell.” —Publishers Weekly “Expert storyteller Howell pens another Highland winner.” —Romantic Times .Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The way the characters kept talking back and forth, talk talk talk talk, aggravated the heck out of me. More action, less talk next time please? The use of Scottish dialect seemed realistic to me (who speaks maybe 6 words of Gaelic in real life), but at some point it felt like I was trapped in a nonstop writing exercise instead of an actual book that had a plot.
After the first time when (view spoiler), you'd think they'd be smart enough not to do the same thing again. But no...
The heroine's worry about her 'gift' was realistic at first, but then it went on and on and on (and on and on and on and on and on...).
And the confrontation by Jeanine in the cow barn, and she didn't blurt that little tidbit out? Nope. Not buying it. Someone like her, that would have been the first words out of her mouth.
Mungan? With Una? Nope. Just ... nope. That whole 'ransom' subplot could have been handled w-a-y better.
And they'd bring their women into battle? In that time period? No way. Uh-uh. Didn't buy it. Couldn't believe it.
It wasn't a bad book. It was cleanly edited, but there were multiple things that kept knocking me out of the story. I hate to leave a not-so great review, but I didn't leave this book with a warm fuzzy feeling like I expect from a romance novel, and truth be told, by the big 'I love you' at the end I was pretty much skimming. Sorry :-( (
