Book Description

Publication Date: May 5, 2003

There was a familiar feel in the air. She knew it well, knew exactly by whom that sensation had been provoked. But could it be? Could it really be he? He was the one man who set her soul on fire. He was also the husband that had abandoned her ten years earlier. Her name was Rob MacArthur. At the age of eight she married the fifteen-year-old marquess. Their time together was bliss, a fantasy world where true love and pure hearts were all they knew. He was her champion protector, slayer of all her fears and conqueror over all that could harm her until the day she was exiled from all of Scotland for bearing the devil's flower on her hand, a sure sign of witchery. Now he was back. Had her dreams come true years after she'd given up on dreams? The marquess's real name was Gordon Cambell and looking at her he thought his eyes were betraying him. Could this rapturous, voluptuous woman really be the little girl he had left behind? Could their love ever be restored? Would he finally be able to take her back to the highland home where they belonged? Not as long as those bent on destroying her still remained. And they were everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Touching Read!!!, October 29, 2005

Ms. Grasso has an amazing talent for creating characters that you truly end up caring about. Rob and Gordon are wonderfully drawn characters and their romance is just that...a romance.

Rob B. MacArthur is a little girl that has been wed to non other than Gordon Campbell who just so happens to be heir to a Dukedom. The fact that the bride is eight and the groom fifteen matters not. Rob is easily charmed by her new husband as he has already slayed monsters for her. But, when he leaves without a backward glance she thinks that she has all been but forgotten. Rob has no idea how wrong that assumption is.

Gordan returns for his bride. He can't believe how the small girl grew and how beautiful she has become. She is living with her Aunt Keely and he is ready to take her home...back to Scotland where she belongs by his side. He knows that he's hurt her and he wants to make it up to her...he wants to rekindle the feelings that were already present between them ten years earlier. But, there is a bigger problem. Someone wants Rob dead and he will do all that he can in order to see that she remains alive. Problem is...there are too many enemies...and they're all hiding behind masks. Will Gordan be able to tell friend from foe, or will he loose Rob a second time?

The way this story opens is priceless...and very important to the relationship that developes between these two people. Ms. Grasso has brought the time period to vivid life and populated this read with very colorful characters. This is one author and one read that I highly recommend.

This book reveals actual human feelings of the characters involved. Love, humor, mischief, cruelty and how we are mis-guided at times. The supporting characters add a remarkable balance to the exciting journey that the couple takes you on. Rob and Gordon`s story gives you the faith that love can conquer all obstacles. This is one adventure you don't want to miss reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Angel? Rob's no angel:), March 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Courting an Angel (Mass Market Paperback)

The beginning of this story is the best part. I love how Gordon is so endearing from the very beginning. He takes mischevious little Rob under into his heart. Because of an unfortunate birthmark, a devil's flower, Rob is forced to leave Scotland. She is accused of being a witch. However, just as she did when she was a child, Rob could depend on Gordon...forever. Very sweet and passionate. I highly recommend it!
