Book Description

November 3, 1998
Let award-winning author Patricia Potter sweep you from the wild Scottish Highlands to the shores of colonial Maryland, where an unwilling warrior has become a captive--to the passionate heart of a beautiful woman, and the dreams that have made him her Starfinder.

Ian Sutherland should have hanged for his treason against the British Crown, along with his brother and the other Scottish freedom fighters. But he was spared, only to be shipped to Maryland and sold as an indentured servant--a fate worse than the death he'd expected. Ian has sworn nothing will stop him from escaping and returning to Scotland to salvage what's left of his clan, until his master's sudden death leaves a young widow, Fancy Marsh, alone to care for her family--and to keep her cruel, covetous brother-in-law from taking what's rightfully hers. Honor compels Ian to help Fancy, and love, stronger than a bondsman's chains, binds their souls. Yet Robert Marsh will not relinquish his claim on Fancy without a struggle, and Ian finds he is forced to fight again--for his love...and his life.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Potter's newest reads as slowly as a bottle of thick molasses turned on its side?and is also among the most depressing romances this year. After being branded a traitor by the English and indentured to the colonies, Ian Sutherland is bought by the dying John Marsh, who is looking for someone to save his wife, Fancy, his children and his land from the clutches of his dastardly brother Robert. (Potter is to be commended for the somewhat unusual device of a loving first husband who brings a new man to care for his family.) John dies, and though Ian is desperate to return to Scotland, he is drawn into the Marsh clan by their goodness and their love. He and Fancy marry to protect her good name and John's legacy, but their feelings for one another make the marriage real. Although Potter (Starcatcher, Diablo) injects some humor into the story with a menagerie of oddly named animals (Unsatisfactory the cat and Trouble the crow), the bleakness of the narrative and its slow pace render this book a very difficult read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful!, May 16, 2000
This review is from: Starfinder (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of my favorite Patricia Potter books. The characters are so real and face dificulties with honor and strength. One of the most emotional books I've read in a long time.

Yes, Hannah, I do believe you were the only one who found this book dull...

4.0 out of 5 stars Great read until . . ., August 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Starfinder (Mass Market Paperback)
Starfinder was a great read and kept me content until the last five chapters. Things slowed way down then and finishing was a push. The ending was too long and the story needed to end about 30 pages sooner. Also, Fancy's reaction to the crisis was a bit too tepid to believe, and the villain was just too bad to believe. Not enough layering, no real dimension--flat. Had he been better developed, the ending might have had better pacing. Otherwise, I've heard great things about Patricia Potter and I fully intend to read the rest of her books. She's clearly a gifted writer and we need all those we can get!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW! Great book!, January 28, 2000
This review is from: Starfinder (Mass Market Paperback)
Patricia Potter has done it again. I was hooked on the first page, and couldn't put it down until the very last page. I became a fan of her westerns and didn't know if I'd like these as well since they aren't in the west, but I think she's gotten even better, shen I didn't think it was possible! All I have to say is, "Thank you, Ms Potter!"
