Synopsis

The key to his past…

…lies with the enemy sharing his bed!

Part of The Lochmore Legacy: a Scottish castle through the ages! Rory Lochmore had expected to wage battle, to claim land and finally secure his standing within his clan… Instead he won a wife.

My review

This book surprised me.

When I read the synopsis I already imagined the whole story. And then during the reading I noticed I was so wrong with my thoughts.

And just in case it isn’t clear, I was surprised in a good way!

It all starts with 2 clans that have a feud that just keeps on going over years and years. And now that the King has stated that a parcel of ground belongs to one of them, Rory wants to claim it as thus.

So he goes to speak to the Chief, ready to fight if necessary.

Little does he know that no fight will occur, but he will be married to Ailsa…

It seems a rather easy story, as you might imagine yourself what will happen next.

But there are so many mysteries to be unfolded, secrets to be spilled out.

And both Rory and Ailsa are strong characters, not just doing as ordered, but having a mind of their own. They won’t just accept a command but follow their guts, even if it’s opposing what commanded.

The mysteries keep you also curious for the truth, so you just keep on reading until all is out in the open.

For Rory I felt true sympathy, as he always had the feeling he didn’t belong in his clan, as his father is a very absent, closed person. And when he meets Ailsa, we get to know a kinder, warmer Rory, making him the highlander we all imagined…

And Ailsa is just funny in my opinion… She just says what she thinks, not afraid for a confrontation, standing up for herself and for her clan.

When you put Rory and Ailsa together, you just know sparks will fly!

So for me this was a surprising, fun story to read! Even if you’re not into this kind of story, just give it a chance and I promise, you won’t be disappointed!
