Although the book's concept initially intrigued me, the book tended to drag and rely too much on sexual scenes. The scenes didn't feel realistic as there was very little emotionally connecting the two characters. I doubt they both would've fallen in love with each other that quickly without the e...
This book takes place in the time just after the death of James I, king of Scotland, and during the clan revolutions that followed. Torin McLeren, the Laid McLeren, had his lanbds burned by a neighboring clan, the McBoyds. He stole the daughter of the clan, Shannon, on her way to an arranged mar...
This has been on my TBR list for some time now and when I needed a book based in Scotland for a challenge read, I picked it up. In some ways, it reminds me of Karen Marie Moning's Highlander series. Lots of sex, snarling, sex, sniping, and more sex. Geez. The plot was thin, the characters were on...
At the moment I'm only about two thirds of the way through the book. I've read enough to know that it deserves five stars in my opinion. Connor Lindsey needs to forge an alliance with the Chattans and was suppose to do this by marrying the eldest daughter of the clan laird. However an act of d...
I definitely give this novel a high rating. It was funny and romantic, steamy when it needed to be and left you on the edge at moments as well.The couple does bicker back and forth quite a bit but that is what helps to understand their relationship. Brina really doesn't want to waver but she is f...
i generally do not like reading historical romances set in scotland because of authors trying to replicate the brogue, but this story was interesting enough that i could almost overlook it. the plot, whereby the heroine's father's wife makes the h substitute herself for the spoiled 1/2 sister (w...

This was my first book by Mary Wine. I thought this was a sweet romance but it was just okay for me. There wasn't much going on in the story. Anne and Broderick's relationship was too easy, there were no challenges to overcome. I would have liked a bit more description of Broderick's castle, clo...

I'm not quite done with the book but am unimpressed so far. I am tired of hearing how handsome the hero appears to the heroine. I am tired of him being a jerk to her(of course he is much nicer than her father) and her just giving in. Now I find myself skimming the sex scenes because there is not ...

You can put a nice little bow on this series for it was ended perfectly in this book. From the first one, there had always been a tension between Justina and Synclair. And you always knew things were bad for her back in court, but you don't get to find out how bad till you see things from her POV...
