4.0 out of 5 stars Review, January 5, 2009

This review is from: Border Moonlight (Mass Market Paperback)

You could call Lady Sibylla Cavers the original runaway bride. Lady Sibylla had already left three men at the altar, one of the men being Simon Murray, Laird of Elishaw. Sibylla's feels quickly change for Simon when together they rescue a little girl from drowning in the river. Just because Sibylla sees Simon differently does not mean she is ready to become his wife.

Simon still feels a little embarrassed and his ego bruised from Sibylla's rejection of him. He won't admit that to her. The longer Sibylla and Simon keep company with each other, the more intense the passion between them increases. Neither one of them wanting to give an inch but they just might have to band together. A battle may erupt when Border activities arise and could disrupt Scotland's truce with England.

I found Sibylla and Simon to be very likeable characters. I admire females who are strong and independent like Sibylla. Simon being a Lord could have been stuck up but he wasn't. He was nice, dashing and caring. Border Moonlight is the second book I have read now by author, Amanda Scott. She writes Scottish novels. She is great at her craft. She brings her characters to life in her books in addition to having the perfect romantic setting...Scotland. You can't go wrong with an Amanda Scott novel.

1.0 out of 5 stars Finally Gave Up, March 24, 2009

I finally gave up on this book. I have a fairly disciplined rule of never not finishing a book, but I just could not find the enjoyment in this one. The hero seemed like a mommie's boy with no back bone and I kept waiting for the spark or tension to occur between the characters. I enjoy history lessons and learning new things and I even don't mind language that is different, but it just never got me interested. Kudo's to all who have finished the book

5.0 out of 5 stars Border Moonlight, February 20, 2009

This review is from: Border Moonlight (Mass Market Paperback)

This third book of the Border series focuses on Simon Murray, a gruff man who is now the head of his clan. Years before, he was left at the altar by Lady Sibylla Cavers, and he swore to never forgive her. When he helps her rescue a couple of drowning children, both of them realize that things have changed since that ill-fated day.

I was looking forward to Border Moonlight and it didn't disappoint. We finally get to see Simon for the man he is, not just the scary older brother of Meg and Amy (whom we met in the previous two novels). And Lady Sibylla is an interesting character herself. Watching the two clash as they struggle to hide their growing affection for each other was fun and you can't help but root for them both. I hope there will be a fourth novel soon.
