Bronwyn MacArran was a proud Scot. Stephen Montgomery was one of the hated English. — He came to Scotland as a conqueror, saw her beauty and was vanquished. But still she would abhor him. — She owned a temper hot enough to forge the armors of battle or inflame a valiant soldier's passion. Yet still she would resist him. — She became his ...  more »

Very good read :)

Late for his own wedding by 4 days, not a way to impress a bride that despises you already and has never met you. Especially Bronwyn who is named head of her clan after her father is killed by the hated English- and yes Stephen Montgomery, the groom, is English as well-- another strike. Another great book in the Montgomery series with many twist and turns, ups and downs and great make up sex since the H/h were always fighting.

I really didn't like the heroine at the beginning of the book, she was filled with too much animosity towards Stephen- almost too strong and noble. I loved Stephen though, he was always trying to win her over even by sacrificing all of his beliefs and loyalties; dressing, fighting, and talking like the Scots, but still keeping all of his chivalrous/alpha qualities. Once Stephen and Brownyn were separated from her clan, the love story began and they really got to know each other, then Brownyn became a likable character.

Very similar in style to the previous books in the series. Not quite as good as the first 2,The Black Lyon and The Velvet Promise, but still very good.

Miss Deveraux blends romance, history and action beautifully to create an exciting, hard to put down read. I enjoyed it immensely.

As a rule, I can't resist a Happily Ever After, and for the ending I will give this book an okay. But as for the content up to that point - not my favorite.

The beginning of the story had a "Gone with the Wind" feel to me. The hero tried so hard and while the reader knew they would eventually get together, I felt as if I wanted to shake the heroine a bit. (obviously the ending was better than GWTW)

I haven't read any of the others in the series, (this is number 2 I think) but I may give it another try. you never know

I usually like Jude Deveraux, but I absolutely hate this one. Why must the "hero" always belittle and mock the heroine's abilities to lead or think because she has a uterus? Arrogant, ignorant, high-handed, mocking - is this what romance writers think that women want? Why? I'll never understand it. A "change of heart" story where a boorish moron grabs at a woman and enjoys lording his power over her - but she's just so dang special he can finally see his error...she's just so much more swell and nifty than other women! What a load of CRAP!

The Heiress, also by Deveraux, has a much stronger heroine, Axia Maidenhall. Try that one. This one made me heartily sick in the first chapter.
