Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Torn between honor and desire...
Innocent Margriet Gunnarsdottir carried a heavy secret. She faced a perilous journey to the wild and distant north of Scotland, and her safety lay in her adopted disguise--a nun's habit! But her only protector, a proud, rough-hewn Highlander, made her ache to share her crushing burden.
Rurik Erengislsson had sworn to see her home and unharmed. A woman promised to the service of God should be shielded and honored--not desired! Yet Rurik was tempted beyond reason to make this beautiful waif his own. --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surrender to the Highlander , June 2, 2008

By	M. Nix "Joyfully Reviewed" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Rurik Erengislsson's childhood friends, Magnus and Sven, have come to Lairig Dubh where Rurik has been living with his uncle and the Clan MacLerie to tell Rurik that his father wants him to come back home and take his rightful place as heir. As a bastard son, Rurik has always craved the acceptance and love of his father so he returns.

Rurik is sent by his father to fetch Margriet Gunnarsdottir from the convent she has been living in for years and bring her home. Rurik is fascinated by Margriet. Although she dresses as a nun and even claims to be one, Rurik is sure she is not. He intends to find out why she is pretending. Margriet is hiding more than one secret. As she journey's home to her father she regrets her lies to Rurik but Margriet is convinced that she has no other choice.

Rurik and Margriet have much in common and their mutual attraction continues to grow. Is there a future for them together when they return home and truths are revealed and lies exposed?

Surrender to the Highlander is an angst filled romance filled with forbidden love and unfulfilled desires. I liked both Rurik and Margriet. I was almost convinced there was no way for them to be together. The story unfolds dramatically and romantically. Surrender to the Highlander is a good story with a perverse and cruel villain and many amiable characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Page Turner, May 14, 2008

By	Pearl Wolf "An avid reader" (Southampton, New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Brisbin's well researched book grips you from page one. Rurik, who cannot rid himself of his rough Viking heritage, has sworn to bring a reluctant Margaret home where he will have to face his father. Rurik and Margaret are both wounded with their own secrets. I won't spoil it for you by telling you what they are. Read the book and find out! Pearl Wolf

1.0 out of 5 stars Total dissapointment, February 29, 2008

By	Adia - See all my reviews

Well, I deserve to be disappointed - I have no idea why I bought a book without any rating on Amazon! So I hurry to stop you doing the same mistake and buy it...
It's one of the few books that succeeded to do more than leave me cold - it really made me hate the characters! If you can believe it, the story is of the love that starts between a pregnant 18 years old fake nun and a hero that suffered for years about being bastard even if he had great friends, all the females he wanted and a home where everybody loved him. This great love starts while the lady is deeply in love with the man to whom she gave her virginity only months ago and who's child she is carring(??!!). Very realistic!!
I never read a romance book where the love scene takes place with the happy bride almost on point of giving birth (and to the bastard of a criminal). Just try another book!
