3 of 5 stars
I read the first book in the series and couldn't wait to
read book #2. Royal Highlander Guard, Niall Campbell, has resigned his
commission and wants to live a simple life away from the oppressive English
rule over Scotland. Unfortunately, his sister Fiona and her friend Maisie
Murray, are heavily involved in the female suffrage moment in Edinburgh and his
warnings of danger go unheeded by the two of them. When Niall saves Maisie from
a raid on their latest rally, he is intrigued with the blond beauty. Their
attraction is immediate and when Niall proposes to her and she accepts, he
feels like it's the perfect time to retire to the country with Maisie, Fiona
and her two young daughters. Everything changes in an instant when Fiona is
kidnapped and Niall is forced to be involved in another English mission if he
ever wants to see his sister again.
I loved all the historical details in this story, but I
wasn't a fan on the many info-dumps throughout the book. I wanted to
"feel" Niall and Maisie's love, but it seemed too distant for the
reader to really be submerged in their love affair. The resolution of the major
conflict in the book was well done and I definitely am looking forward to the
next book in the series.
I voluntarily read the advanced reader copy and all opinions
are my own.
