A novella set in the world of New York Times best-selling author Monica McCarty's Highland Guard series.  

What's not to love? Not only is Sir Thomas Randolph, earl of Moray, one of the most important and wealthiest men in the kingdom, he's charming, devastatingly handsome, and the favored nephew of King Robert the Bruce. Even so, when Isabel "Izzie" Stewart meets the vaunted knight, she's glad he's her cousin's soon-to-be betrothed and not hers. He takes himself far too seriously, to her mind, and seems to be acting out the role of the "perfect" knight. In her experience, men who are too good to be true usually are. 

But when Izzie starts to wonder whether her first impressions might have been wrong, she discovers a complex, compelling man who is far from perfect and more seductive than she ever imagined.  

Contains mature themes.

This was just an okay read for us. We loved Izzie she was a character who overall was bold beautiful and a woman not afraid to express her feelings and is a tell it like it is kind of girl. Loved that she wasn't afraid to fight for what she wanted. Her chemistry and connection with Sir Thomas was undeniable. 

Sir Thomas lived up to his name great warrior, he is more than meets the eye under the armor he wears he is not as unfeeling as people seem to think he is.

Overall the story was heartfelt a couple doomed from the beginning as there are expectations to be met. A warrior who longs for a woman whom his heart longs for yet says he is incapable of love and fidelity. Sir Thomas is a character you either dislike or love but, for us, we weren't a fan as we despise men who toy with other's feelings. We will say that we love men who are worthy of redeeming themselves and learn that sometimes love is worth fighting for.

We enjoyed this series and its characters.
