Highlander'S Maiden (Harlequin Historical) [Paperback]

Mayne (Author)

Book Description

Series: Harlequin Historical | Publication Date: January 1, 1999

Her Heart Was In The Highlands

Indeed, every hill and vale seemed a mapping of her soul. Cassie MacArthur doubted any man could ever understand the freedom of roaming high road and low. Especially not Robert Gordon, enemy to her clan—yet, ironically, the one man in Scotland who made her blood sing!

Driven by a questing spirit, Cassie MacArthur would make a bonny bride—Robert Gordon felt it in the marrow of his bones. Truly, the legendary Lady Quickfoot would be the perfect partner for his life's work—and his life! But was he fleet enough to catch her?

3.0 out of 5 stars Not much of a journey, January 31, 2006

By

This review is from: Highlander'S Maiden (Harlequin Historical) (Paperback)

The promise of this novel is that this pair of vagabond characters will make a long journey, either physical or emotional, and come together as soulmates by the end. What we get is a rather tame day trip over mountains, where we learn that the heroine wanders, but we never actually see much of it. Nothing pleases this reader more than to discover that the feisty heroine can simply be tamed by being imprisoned, bullied or dominated (yes, that's sarcasm). I had little sympathy for the couple and there seemed to be a lot of other characters around who seemed tacked on to the main tale as if to make cameo or token appearances, rather than adding much to the story. This is a device that one often sees when the Author has written other romances and is tying them all together in some fashion, and I find it invasive and annoying, particularly if this is the first book one has read from the Author. We don't want to see a pageant of *other* successfully concluded romances. We're busy trying to enjoy *this* one.
