Ten years ago, young Elspeth Murray rescued a wounded knight and lost her heart forever.

But Cormac is promised to another, a woman who has blinded him to her ruthlessness. Now Elspeth must battle against the odds to claim a man and a love she will not be denied.

Cormac is stunned by the desire Elspeth's kiss awakens - and cannot resist the temptation she offers. A man of honor, he is torn by his pledge to another and his growing need for Elspeth. Blinded by duty and indecision, he is unaware that he is a pawn in a clever and deadly trap from which Elspeth is desperate to save him. But by the time he understands her gift of selfless devotion will it be too late to claim this perfect love?

Great story line. I really enjoying reading about the Murray's and there extended family. lots of action to keep things interesting.

Great start to a new Highland Clan

Sexy Highland warrior Cormac rescues his 'soul mate' who had rescued him 10 years ago when she was but a bonny wee girl of 9. Elspeth has loved and dreamed of the boy she saved all those years ago then, unbelievably, there he is rescuing her from the clutches of a demented Laird who has kidnapped her and is determined to marry her.

Cormac and Elpeth flee to the Royal Court but on the way Elspeth must convince him to break a vow to another beauty by any means she can - including sex.

Lovely story, yes a little unbelievable, but my fellow romance listeners - that's why we love them so much!!

Love Highland Stories-Cormac Met His Match

I bought this book because it was a Highland story. I liked it although the back and forth in Cormac's head got a bit tiresome. I wanted to bop him to get his attention but he found his way. It was a good read and I liked Angela Dawe's performance. If you like Scots and their ways, you'll enjoy this book. It doesn't have the historical relevance that other Historical Fiction Scottish books have shown but it is still a good read and true romantic novel. I recommend it.

Honour or On Her?

The Murray tales do have a lot of similarities. It's amazing how willing and how quickly the lasses succumb at a time when virtue is such a huge issue. Many of the stories do have similar outlines... Save one, I have read them in order. Of course most of the heroines are built similarly, they are related (except the first 3 wives married to the Murray brothers.

This particular novel had a few subplots under the two main ones. One of these bothers me as it laid questions in the telling, yet the answers are not there. Without a true spoiler, a character's parentage is alluded to, the readers are provided an answer through a description . However, it was left like that. No reason for adding the character, the suggestion of the parentage, or reason for knowing who the parent is. Perhaps it will be brought up in a future story, but there is no allusion to that. It does not seem purposeful, so time will tell? Or not! Regardless, the tales move forward.
