Purchased a copy from a Friends of the Library sale and it was alright. It was a bit slow moving. (

while i loved the book that came before this one -- i have the opposite feelings for this book. i did not care for any of the main characters. If i had read this one first, i would not have read anything else by this author.

i had to force myself to finish the book! (

I found this book a while back and being a lover of historical romances picked it up. Well worth the read. Love the book (

I am not really sure how to rate this book.
It's just such a misogynistic time in history so for our Hero to be like this is in some ways makes it accurate but at the same time it's not how I want a Hero to be.
He does soften towards her and change to a certain extent but some of the scenes esp at the beginning are not so pleasant.
It is certainly not as good as the 1st book in the series. (

This one was a bit of a disappointment. Since I guessed who the traitor was in the prologue, I wish that plotline hadn't dragged on so long. Connor was a boor for most of the book, and I'm not sure he made up for it in the end. (

Book description
1119. Journeying from England to Scotland to wed a highlander, Lady Brenna had resigned herself to the arranged match. But when a band of fierce, painted warriors captured her en route, she fearlessly met their demand to marry their leader -- the quick-tempered laird Connor MacAlister. She couldn't know that her capture was merely the first act of vengeance against her betrothed, Connor's sworn enemy.

Brenna harbored no illusions that her husband was in love with her; after a hasty forest wedding, MacAlister assured her she could return home once she had borne him a son. But she could not deny that she had once proposed to MacAlister -- ten years ago, when she was just a child, and the visitor to her father's castle charmed her with his dazzling, unexpected smile. Now, as she sets out to win the brave chieftain whom she has come to adore, a legacy of revenge ensnares Brenna in a furious clan war -- and only her faith in her gallant hero can save her....
