They ordered her to seduce him and cast him aside . . .

He was commanded to protect her . . . but no one told them to fall in love.

A Highlander's duty . . .

A summons from court could be a dangerous thing, especially for Graham MacCoinnich. He says what he thinks, and his clan's treasonous rumblings coupled with their risky alliances cast both kith and kin in a dubious light. But King William's order turns out to be anything but dire.

Surprising? Yes. Enticing? Without a doubt. The exquisite Lady Mercy Claxton, most cherished goddaughter of the king, requires a protective escort through Scotland and Graham is happy to offer his services.

Contains mature themes.

I love the narrator's voice. He brings each character to life and makes it exciting when he gives such a good performance.
The story is original and exciting. Twists and turns you will not expect.

Always like the lead characters being married. Two narraters were needed for this. Did not like the ending.

I try to find something redeeming in every predictable Scots/Highlands romance novel and usually I'm a fan of narrator Antony Ferguson, but this missed the mark on pretty much every level for me. It wasn't a good story. It was predictable. Lacked logic. There wasn't a lot to the romance. The love scenes were boring. As in... the male lead honestly didn't seem like an especially good lover.

I can't blame Antony Ferguson for bad writing, but his flat reading of the love scenes didn't help. And although the interactions with the modiste/acupuncturist character (just...why?) are blessedly brief, his impression of an Asian woman speaking broken English made me cringe.

Just not good.
