Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Ainslee MacNairn is captured and held for ransom, survives a murder attempt, an abduction and a seduction and commits her first two homicides-all less than halfway through this early-13th-century romance set in the Scottish Highlands by the author of Only for You. Not that things are all bad: her captor is the handsome Norman Gabel de Amalville, who's just too good to be true or, at the very least, far better than her sadistic father. Which still doesn't excuse the paltry couple of pages it takes for abductor and abductee to discover a cozy relationship. Howell's strong suit is her grasp of historical detail (though rarely any historical personage or event). Her weakness is in pacing her narrative and in occasionally clunky dialogue "Howbeit, she has adamantly claimed that she understands that her father has brought this fate upon himself."

I enjoyed the story very much and liked that Ainslee was able to stand her ground when fighting with the enemy she was able to take on any man in the fight. I wished she was more able to walk away from her family, but I guess that was the times. Sir Gabel he was wonderful,but I was angry about his attitude in the beginning seems to me she went though too much, for him to see she was worthy of him and it was nevered questioned about his worthiness to her. I did enjoy the scenes and the love scenes.

A Valiant Knight and a Brave and Courageous Lass! Who could ask for anything more. Oh, this was a story I can appreciate for a long, long time. Reading a lot of romance novels where the main characters continually misunderstand each other had me begging for an author to find characters who could understood one another. This story did it! I was so glad to read that circumstances beyond their control was what kept them apart. The sacrifices was such that no one could ever question the love and trust each had for the other. This was a story of emotions. Enjoy.

I just loved this book. It was enthralling and captivating. It is definetly a must read. One of my absolute favorite romance novels. The characters were so well written and it was unique in the sense that the obstacles the lovers had did not really come from the fact that they mistrusted each other, but obstacles by their circumstances. I've read and re-read this so often, I think I have it memorized!
