This is a keeper for me!

The illegitimate daughter of royalty, Mairin Stuart is wanted for her land and her dowry. Because of that she has been in hiding amongst nuns since a very young age. When an evil Laird kidnaps her from the Abby with the intent of making her his unwilling bride, she escapes with the help of a little friend and soon finds herself captive by yet another Laird.

Laird Ewan McCabes people have been through a lot in the last 8 years, determined to rebuild and make his clan stronger than ever, Ewan sees a match between he and Mairin beneficial to both of them. He needs her money and land, she needs a protector.

I absolutely loved this story! Mairin is enchanting and feisty and has the humorous habit of speaking thoughts out loud without knowing she is doing so. Ewan is strong and 100% yummy alpha male but it doesnt take long for Mairin to chisel away his armor and get to his softer side.

This book had me laughing out loud at Mairins sass and antics, and struggling to read through misty eyes when both she and Ewans vulnerability came through. The supporting cast is extraordinary and each one made an impression on this reader. I really had a hard time setting this book down when I needed to get back to the real world. I was so involved and having so much fun with this Scottish group I wanted to extend my visit more and more.

This is one of those books that I will read and reread over and over again. It just had everything I look for in a romance novel and I cannot wait to read the next two books in the series!
