ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ,
By Lisa H (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fairy Tale (Mass Market Paperback)
Boring. That is the first word that comes to mind after reading this book. After the first 100 pages-all I could think about was how much I would like to shake Marsali senseless! What a selfish little snot! And the rest of her clan is not much better. For Duncan to have been this supposed brilliant military leader - he really did not show much forcefullness or leadership in this book - seemed more bemused than anything else. There was also very little passion between these two. If I had been Duncan - I probably would have thrown Marsali into the dungeon and tossed out the key! There was also very little suspense and too much harping over Duncan's past. Get over it already Duncan - the past is over with! I would love to read a novel with a real man in it - one who has had past difficulties, but has come to terms with them and doesn't have to "deal with his emotions" before he can love someone! Too much of a 90's guy - getting in touch with his emotions - not enough historical authenticity! How about a real MAN for a change - and no - I'm not talking about the caveman type! Needless to say - this will be the last of this author's books that I read - especially since this was supposed to have been one of her best!

Jillian Hunter - where have you been all my life?????,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fairy Tale (Mass Market Paperback)
I howled with laughter all through this novel starting at page 1. The blurb on the back cover made it sound like the standard romance I love - Highlands of Scotland, impertinent heroine, handsome "devil" hero - the works! But what it did not give me was a clue of how hilarious it was!! But besides all those truly funny situations and characters - the chemistry between hero Duncan and heroine Marsali was touching as well as exciting. I can't say enough good things about this book. A big 10+ ! I'm checking out what else Jillian Hunter has written! She's SUPER!!!!

Be Prepared to be Totally Charmed!,

This review is from: Fairy Tale (Mass Market Paperback)
Duncan MacElgin, had a reputation the devil himself envied. Hot-headed and ornery as a young boy when sent away to the army to learn discipline and find an outlet for his anger, he rose swiftly as a warrior then a battle hard general and minister of war. As the rightful heir of the clan MacElgin, he was ordered home to whip his clansmen into shape and stop them from raiding the British. Riding into the glen, he was attacked, beaten and stripped naked - not that he was expecting a hero's welcome, but this was ridiculous! - This band of misfits, were tarring him with honey and chicken feathers - and their leader was a woman! Marsali Hay, was convinced that the man riding into the glen was an enemy, she had no idea that the beautiful specimen of manhood - now that she'd had a really good look - was the infamous "Black Duncan". Once he made it known who he was, their bloody chieftain after all - he would make Marsali pay dearly for her impertinence. Duncan would find though that the impertinent and darling of the clan, would have him at her knees as she and the band of mis-fits and characters that made up his clan would drive him to total distraction. Be prepared to be totally charmed, from the dark and deeply guilt stricken Duncan to the innocent and spritely Marsali who gave him the redemption and love he needed as she and her band of misfit clansmen worked magic into his life. You will belly laugh through the antics of the supporting cast in this delightful novel from the battling ghosts, to the inept wizard uncle and the twin piglets! This was a totally outstanding read that I chuckled through and found so difficult to put down. Solid Gold!
