Book Description

Publication Date: May 2, 2005

Catriona MacFarr had no intention of marrying anyone referred to as a "beast" by all of her countrymen. If she did, her life would be spent with a man so similar to the MacFarr she could barely breathe. Such a disaster could not be, no matter what. No, never! And so begins this tale of secrecy, jealousy, intrigue, and-love.

About the Author

With a B.F.A in Theatre, an M.A. in English and having taught English in secondary schools for 18 years, I never dreamed that teaching English would be easier than writing it. I never dreamed I'd write a novel. But I have and I’m loving it. An early retirement from teaching and a wonderful move to the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York where I lived with my attorney husband (also an author) offered grand solitude and a need for an all-encompassing goal. I selected novel-writing as a new challenge, never realizing the difficulties involved. I charged into the world of writing with both feet. Now, I freely admit it's the most difficult, yet satisfying, career of my life. I sold my very first novel, The Gunn of Killearnan, a historical, romantic adventure, set in 1650 Scotland during the time of the War of the Covenant (Bishop's War). Along with excellent reviews, the novel received awards and became a finalist in several national contests. Unlawful, another historical romantic adventure is set in 852 Ireland, when Norse raids were numerous. The book came out in January 2002 to outstanding reviews, great sales and an Award of Excellence. My third book, Saratoga Summer-1863, the beginning of a series about the five Irish O'Malley brothers has also received fantastic reviews and nominations in some fine contests. Now, the husband and I have moved again, to small Hudson Valley Village near my beloved Saratoga. We have a small house, some acreage and two rescued English Setters to complete our lives. Our books were out of print but have just been picked up by the Cambridge Division of Write Words, Incorporated. They are being revised, reedited and reissued.

This review is from: ClanGunn:Gerek: Scottish Heritage Series (Paperback)

Dorice writes with a style all her own. From the very first page you can actually "see" and "smell" everything you are reading as if you were right there in the story. Her characters jump out in thier vividness of description and temperaments. If you stop for a moment to think, it is like you are right there hearing the characters interacting with each other. The story is a historical romace and boy is there alot of romance. She has done alot of research to get the time period right . I can't wait for the next installment!!!!!

Clan Gunn is a historical romance in every sense of the word. The beautifully written book, from the very first page, immerses the reader in a time fraught with peril and danger. Intrigue lurks at every turn, and the people, whose lives and loves are in constant turmoil because of the times in which they live, make it as real to us as if it were today.
