storytelling as it should be,
By
This review is from: Ravens Moon (Paperback)
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 is a real voice in historical romance. I loved this book, and found it compelling. She is on my "A" list of authors!

If you love Scottish historical romances - this is a must!,

This review is from: Ravens Moon (Paperback)
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!
