Susan King has a wonderful touch! She takes you to Scotland in this book and makes you believe that you can really feel the cold wind, and see the mist on the ground. Mhairi and Rowan are characters that you will never forget as they discover a love that makes you smile and sometimes makes your heart ache a little bit.

Besides the wonderful storyline, it is also refreshing to have injuries that actually cause the characters pain and a little healing time. However, by far the best part about this novel is the incredible realistic and accurate Scottish history that you learn without even realizing it!! You will really enjoy this tale!

This is the first book I read of Susan King's and I must say that I'm thrilled with this author's way of story telling that keeps you glued to the tale until the last page.

From the first page, you would be gripped by the excitement and suspense and the imminent danger threatening Mhairi, her brother Iain and the hero, Rowan Scott. This is a relentlessly fast paced tale with twists and turns, danger and romance with no frivolity common in other romances.

Highly recommended to readers who love a "more" serious kind of romance.

I come from a long line of Scots, Scots who were storytellers. So when I came across this book, it was like coming home. Was not my first King book, read The Black Thorn's Rose before, this book is what really made me a King fan (though I have been disappointed a bit with her Maiden series, like she is losing the "heart"). Mhairi is the lass in a male dominated family. She knows the men are doing wrong when they reive sheep from below the boarders, but also know it's a way of life for the Scots. In comes Rowan, half English- Half Scot went with order of "Fire and Sword" to bring the borderlands unto lawful peace - by negations if possible, by destruction of the Clan in need be.

Mhairi has seen visions of his coming, and though she comes to love him, she fears her visions of his death will come true unless he leaves the highlands.

King paints the period with vivid detail, and beckons you to follow her into Mhairi and Rowan's fight for love and the survival of Mhairi's family.

Just does not get any better than this.

Susan King writes an amazing historical romance! This has to be one of my favorite books! Even people who don't like romance novels will enjoy this one! Highly recommended!

Susan King is a real voice in historical romance. I loved this book, and found it compelling. She is on my "A" list of authors!
