What a roller coaster of emotions between Hamish MacBrieve
and Mairead MacMhathain! Would they ever stop fighting long enough to realize the depth of their feelings? Hamish reluctantly returns to his childhood home to
help his younger brother Robert, who lies ill. Robert asks Hamish to be his
Commander and against everything Hamish believes is wrong with Robert's gentle
rule as laird, Hamish agrees, only because a power-hungry guard, Ulrick,
threatens to topple Robert's rule. When Mairead wants to help, Hamish keeps his
plan of dealing with Ulrick secret, but that's when the sparks begin to fly.
Mairead is relentless in her pursuit of knowing all and Hamish is just as
relentless in keeping his plan secret.
Ms. Sinclair is a very talented author and does an excellent
job of slowing building the relationship between Hamish and Mairead. These two
had an instant attraction, but neither would admit it. As details of the
power-hungry Ulrick emerge, all the random things Hamish has been doing while
at the castle start to solidify into a great strategy with the least amount of
bloodshed. I really loved Hamish and while I found Mairead to be annoying at
times, when her motives finally come to light, she is a strong and capable
Highland lass trying to protect her sister and Robert. My only slight criticism
was that the final scene between Mairead and Ulrick--it seemed a little rushed
especially compared to the rest of the book. All in all, I found this to be an
excellent read and fans of Scottish romances will definitely enjoy this book.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and
honest review.
