I love Small's books, but I don't like that in many of her books, a main character dies. No one important died in this book. Mad Maggie Kerr is the heiress/granddaughter of Dugald Kerr, laird of Brae Aisir and keeper of the Scottish side of the Aisir nam Breug passage. Maggie has sworn that she will only wed a man that she can respect and to gain that respect the man must be able to outrun, outride and outfight her. Many have tried but been humiliated but when Lord Fingal Stewart, cousin of King James V, is sent to Brae Aisir with orders from the king to wed her, matters change. Realizing that she cannot disobey the king, she signs the marriage documents but says that Fingal must still beat her before he can bed her. The struggle between the two is not just physical as they get to know each other and deal with the trouble times of that historical period. Another Bertrice Small book to treasure! Mini-Review: Another wildly passionate Bertrice Small historical novel filled with fiery Scottish wenches and strapping border lords. What is not to like. Bertrice has the gift of telling an engrossing tale backed up with historical detail. I own pretty much every book she has ever written, and this latest story doesn't disappoint. Not as naughty as most of her other stories, but still enough to make you blush. I love her descriptions of the lands, the customs, the foods and most of all the fashions of early 1500's Scotland. Sort of wish I had been around during that era -- than again, I like my modern conveniences and well quite frankly the ability of women to be able to own property and not just be a breeding mares - I know picky picky. But the fashion is very tempting and quite frankly suit my body type. If you want a tale for a cold winters night or lounging around on the beach, this here it is. Now hopefully tonight I will dream of a strapping Scottish lad. 4 Dewey's I bought my copy from Chapters and nobody paid me crap to put this review up -- but hey I love to promote Bertrice's books. She's a wonderful writer and a truly decent women! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
