We love a good highlander romance and this current story did the trick. Ross needs to marry and solidify an alliance at the same time. This book is set in the 1360s Medieval Scotland, this is the perfect setting for a romantic novel like this. Ross's character is great, he enters into marriage to save his people but, the marriage he agreed too is not the one he is getting. Forging forward is the only thing left to do.
Ilysa's character is a surprising one as she seems so sweet and innocence once meeting her but, she ends up being a fierce little warrior set on saving her husband. We loved IIysa's generosity and her kindness, and her smarts and the kindness that she shows to Ross's people it is awe, so inspiring. She truly has come to love his clan. A memorable character, for sure, Ilysa is.
There is trickery about and as Ross is trying to get answers while saving his clan. This story reads like an enemies to lovers romance but, once you get invested in the characters you see the gem that IIysa really is and the fact that her husband realizes his good fortune makes trickery from the start of their marriage a much softer blow.
Overall a compelling tale with a beautiful medieval setting that we really enjoy, it had a great cast of characters that we fell in love with. This was our first romance from the author, who we will definitely be reading again.
