Scotland, 1812. He's ferocious and rugged to the bone, an English soldier more at home on the battlefield than in any society drawing room. And when Major Gabriel Forrester learns that he has inherited the massive Scottish Highlands title and estate of a distant relation, the last thing he wants to do is give up the intensity of the battlefield for the too-soft indulgences of noble life. But Gabriel Forrester does not shirk his responsibilities, and when he meets striking, raven-eyed lass Fiona Blackstock, his new circumstances abruptly become more intriguing.

Two classic stories of finding love where you least expect it! Marriage Wanted: As far as Nash Davenport's concerned, marriage isn't shelter from the storm - it is the storm. He's a divorce attorney, himself divorced, who believes no married couple can live up to their wedding vows. My Hero: Would-be romance writer Bailey York has already failed twice at love. She thinks men are wonderful to read and write about, but that's it. Which is probably why she has such difficulty creating a hero for her novel. What she needs is a real-life example.

We fell in love on a beach, got married in paradise, and rode off into the sunset. It should have been perfect, but saying "I do" doesn't guarantee a happily ever after. Two years later, I barely recognize either of us behind the walls we've built. It's time to bring it full circle. Back to a tropical paradise. Back to find out if we can still make this work. I'm not willing to give her up, but to save us, I have to risk everything.

Jillian Lawton and Lesley Adamski. Two girls from very different backgrounds become best friends in the turbulent '60s, but their circumstances and choices - and their mistakes - take them in opposite directions. Lesley stays in their hometown. She marries young, living a life defined by the demands of small children, never enough money, and an unfaithful husband. Jill lives those years on a college campus shaken by the Vietnam War, and then as an idealistic young lawyer in New York City. But they always remain friends.

Publisher's Summary
"If I want to get married and have a family (and I do), it's time for a plan!" (From Hallie McCarthy's diary)
The alarm on Hallie's biological clock is buzzing away. She's hitting the big three-0, and there's no prospect of marriage, no man in sight. But Hallie's an organized, goal-setting kind of person. She gives herself a year to meet Mr. Knight in Shining Armor. But all her dates are disasters. (There's the cheapskate and the sex fiend and - well, never mind.)
Too bad she can't just fall for her good-looking neighbor, Steve Marris. He's definitely not her type. Anyway, Steve's busy trying to win back his ex-wife, Mary Lynn, who's busy getting married - but not to Steve. Life would be so much simpler if he could fall for someone else. Like...Hallie.
They're friends, though - and sometimes friends become lovers. Sometimes friends become more....

Great story but disappointing content
I will buy any book with Debbie Macomber's name on it because I know it will be good and will be free of sexual details. Hence the reason this story was a little bit disappointing. Content was not explicit and was minimal but really not necessary. Macomber's work is a refreshing change from the majority of romance fiction out there. I feel like this book compromised the integrity of her work. I will continue to be a Macomber fan however I hope she holds strong to her beliefs and doesn't succumb to the pressure of sexual content to sell books.

Not bad, but definitely not great
First of all, I can not express how much the narrator’s voice grated on me. Her voice was basically robotic, and her version of the male voices were horrible. The way that she conveyed the character’s conversations had a very unrealistic feel to them too. She simply read the story (and didn’t do that well), she didn’t perform it as a good narrator does.
In terms of the story, it was just okay. It did hold my interest for the whole book, although it was predictable. I don’t mind that though, as long as I “enjoy the ride” so to speak, in getting to the end. Some of the vocabulary and terms the author used, I found to be a bit cringe worthy in their goofiness (real people don’t talk that way), but I got past it.
At the end of the day, I think I would have enjoyed this book a lot more with a different narrator. Having said that, I will give another one of Debbie Macomber’s books a try.

Love Debbie Macomber
This is another book by Debbie Macomber that I find hard to stop until I'm done. Debbie writes books that I wouldn't worry about one of my grandchildren getting hold of and get they aren't so marshmallow that I would lose interest.
