Superb Storytelling and a Keeper-a Highland Love that Survives the Massacre of Glencoe!
If you are looking for a light book heavy on romance and light on the history, this book is not for you. And I'm not knocking Garwood, I loved Ransom - this is just a different type of book altogether despite what it appears from the cover. Don't let the cover of the book fool you, this is not a Julie Garwood type of book where the story is mostly fluff to place the H&H in in order to write steamy love scenes. The author was able to convey much just with the subtle sexual banter betwen these two, it was very funny and sweet.Īlthough there is the "romance" of the book with the two main characters, this is more about the massacre of Glencoe, a little known piece of Scottish history, and a very sad tale for so many members of this clan. LOL when she became worried after their first time together in bed, as her brothers had always told Cat her tongue would shrivel a man's - well you know what.Įven though when Cat and Dair get together they are a loving and lusty couple, the sex scenes are mostly left to the imagination and not overly drawn out, which helps make this book more appropriate for a younger reader than many books available these days. I enjoyed their playful banter as they "courted" and afterward when they become lovers. Their characters were well drawn, intelligent and displayed great chemistry. A pleasant change to have the heroine not be drop dead gorgeous. I really enjoyed the two main characters, Catriona (Cat) and Alasdair (Dair) a lovely Romeo and Juliet story. This was a very good book and an enjoyable read. While the Dutch King William conspires against the Scottish rebels who seek to return the exiled James Stuart to the throne, Catriona and Alasdair share a passion that joins them forever - although the lovers become pawns of war. As the years pass, the heart proves stronger than the sword, and they boldly pledge their love. It is MacDonald who alone shows the young Catriona kindness in a harsh and violent world.
Lady of the Glen tells of Catriona Campbell's enduring love for Alasdair Og MacDonald, the second-born son of her clan's most powerful enemy, the Laird of Glencoe. But their love, for centuries forbidden, comes at the most dangerous of times. At the novel's center is a love story of breathtaking scope: a man and a woman - enemies from birth - know from the moment they meet that they will lie in each other's arms someday.
a time when countrymen battled for their freedom and usurpers sought crowns. Lady of the Glen tells of a time and a place like no other - when political treachery and royal intrigue ruled the day. A Novel of 17th-Century Scotland and the Massacre of Glencoe
