review 1: Plot:Deirdre Chattan went to live in a convent to repent after her affair that left her in ruin. She had no idea what she will do after that, but she knows that she wants to bring honour to her clan again. Then Quinton Cameron shows up looking for the queen, and he has not forgotten Deirdre's hellion ways. When fate brings them together again sparks fly.My thoughts:The blurb does say some things that don't happen. They never truly protect king and crown. There is some politics in the background but it's more about their passion, and how a marriage to her could bring clans together, so who should have her?This is book 3 in a series, but they are all standalone so even if I had read none of the others I could just have jumped in and missed nothing. Deirdre slept with a man w... moreho promised her marriage but he just used her. That is why she is at a convent to calm down a bit, but not to become a nun. She knows Quinton from before since his friend married her sister in book 2, and in that book they shared one passionate kiss. But now she has no dowry anymore and a bad reputation. But of course these two are thrown together again and there is passion. They can't keep their hands of each other, but she does give it a valiant try.I did like Deirdre, sure she was an idiot in the past for falling for lies, but he must have been good at it. Now she wants to be stronger, and she wants to do what is right. Quinton is all man, and alpha. He also has a broken heart just like her. They were both betrayed in the past.Other than that there is the woman who betrayed him to marry someone else and she wants to cause more mischief, oh she was one wicked evil woman. Then there is also the bigger politics. Because if Deirdre married Quinton then that would form a bigger alliance that stands against another alliance, and there is someone who does not want that. Dangers ahead.One thing though, I was not too happy about how he kept telling her to lose herself to her passion, I felt he was being an ass in a way. He can sleep with whoever he wants to, if she does it she is ruined, double ruined. A woman has no choices like that. He just wanted to get in under her skirts. But ok I forgive him cos she did really want him, even if it meant never marrying him.Recommendation and final thoughts:A nice historical romance with lots of passion, and some intrigue too. A brave highlander and one fiery lass. But there is also a lot of Scottish accent in the book, and that makes it a bit harder to understand when some of them talk.
review 2: This story was richly delicious and one that I could read again and again. Our characters are perfectly pitted for each other and the heat they throw off is volcanic in proportions. Is it no wonder that Highlander's are a tough breed!Deidre Chattan is headstrong, willful, quick to temper and distrustful. Having been betrayed once leaving a stain of shame on her family she is off the the nunnery in no time at all. Just her luck the Scottish Queen shows up as she is in flight from the men who mean to rule her or keep her prisoner until her son reaches the proper age where he can take over as the King of Scotland. Deidre and the Queen share very similar looks so it off to an adventure that Deidre will go and get caught up in a political web that may just cost her her life if she's not careful.Quinton Cameron is laird of his clan and a handsome devil of a Highlander to boot. He is fair, honest and headstrong. If he sees something he wants then it's his place to make sure he acquires it at almost any cost. The safety of his clan is the only thing that will get in his way. He's a man with passion and an unquenchable lusty thirst especially for a pretty face.Our two characters come together as Deidre strides along on her adventure. Everyone thinks that she is the Queen and thus this becomes the ball and chain around her neck especially when caught by Quinton's men.The author leads us a merry chase in this story along with some sizzling sex that will leave you itching for more. It's a well balanced story with wonderful characters and an ending that I found to be utterly perfect. You really don't find out who the bad guy is til just about the end and it's short and sweet. The story left me satisfied and not wondering if it was finished and it didn't drag the climax half way through the book. This is a new author for me and I will most certainly be looking into more of her work. less
