Oh how I love
historical romance, but through in a
Scottish devil in a kilt and I am in love.
This book
was amazingly written. So developed and
thought out. I so cannot wait
to read more in the series.
This book is about
Rolfe and Katherine. You may
remember Kat from Marcus and Helen's story.
But she is no longer the proper miss anymore.
She is a hellion or so she has been
told no longer
aloud to train as a lad she now has to make it in
the world as a
lass. And she is none too happy
about it. When she meets Rolfe it was so funny
he
thought he’d be able to take her with ease. But
she showed him. But what is
the saying out of the
frying pan and into the fire. Well let just say she
so
messed up and now it is up to Rolfe to save
her. And also deal with Marcus who
is more of
a dad to her. Let’s hope Rolfe can save her
and then himself.
Now before I ruin
this for you I will leave off here.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I
did. If you
do like this book, please consider leaving a
review. The Authors
really like it when you do;
they value your opinions too
Katherine
made sure the straps of her saddle were tight. She took a great deal of
pleasure in the fact that she knew as much about preparing a horse for riding
as every one of the men surrounding her. That would certainly not be the case
if she’d been raised in England.
Her
old life was only a memory now, hidden behind her adventures in the Highlands.
She smiled as she recalled the many things she’d done at Robert’s side while
disguised as a boy. She gripped the side of the saddle, making ready to mount.
But
a hard hand dug into the back of her jerkin and lifted her into the air.
“What?”
Katherine was startled, or she wouldn’t have spoken because her English accent
persisted. More than one head turned in her direction as she landed and found
herself looking up into the eyes of Marcus MacPherson, war chief of Clan
MacPherson.
“I
told her she should nae go.” Robert was quick to assign blame to her.
Marcus
had braced himself between her and the horse. The war chief was huge and stood
considering her from a position she’d seen too many times to count while she
trained under his command in the yard. Of course, he thought she was a boy,
which made Robert’s choice of words very bad.
Very,
very bad.
“You
clearly did nae tell her firmly enough.” Marcus shifted his full attention to
Robert. “There will be a reckoning owed when we return, sure enough.”
Robert
bristled as more men came to witness his chastisement. “She’s the one who will
no’ listen to good sense.”
“Agreed,”
Marcus said. “Which is why ye should have pulled her off her horse as I just
did, since it was you who brought her into me training yard six years ago.”
Katherine
gasped. She hated the way the sound came across her lips because it was
so…well, so feminine. The men were frowning at her, clearly disapproving.
She
shook her head and leveled her chin. “I have trained, and I am as good as many
a man standing here.”
“Ye
are a woman,” Marcus stated clearly. “And ye do nae belong riding out with us
when we are going to needle the Gordons.”
“It
isn’t a real raid,” Katherine protested, but she kept her tone civil. She would
always respect Marcus for teaching her to defend herself. “Just a bit of fun.”
“Aye,”
Marcus agreed. “And yet, not as simple as that. Men get their blood up when
they are testing one another’s nerve. It is no place for a woman, even less so
for a maiden.”
“Ye
see?” Robert said. “I told ye.”
“But
ye did nae make certain she could nae venture into danger. That’s the
difference between a lad and a man.” Marcus spoke softly, which only gave his words
more weight. “It’s past time for ye”—he pointed at Robert—“to recognize that a
little lass like Katherine has more to lose if our luck does nae hold. As a
MacPherson retainer, I expect ye to make sure the women are taken care of.
That’s the real reason they respect us, no’ simply for the sake of our gender.”
Marcus
shifted his attention back to Katherine, and she felt the weight of his
disapproval. “Ye could be raped and ruined.”
“My
reputation is already ruined because I am here,” Katherine protested.
“That
is no’ the same thing at all,” Marcus informed her in a steely voice. “And I
hope to Christ ye never discover the truth of the matter. For tonight, ye’ll
take yerself back inside, and I will deal with ye when I return.”
Marcus’s
word was law on MacPherson land. Only his father and his brother, Bhaic, might
argue with him, and Katherine wasn’t dense enough to think either of them would
disagree. So she lowered her chin and bit her lip. It earned her a soft grunt
from Marcus before he moved back toward his horse.
Then
the muttering started.
“English
chit…”
“More
trouble than we need…”
“Damned
English always think themselves better than Scots…”
Men
she’d thought of as friends suddenly turned traitor, calling her “English” as
though she had only recently arrived on their land.
She’d
truly thought her feelings dead when it came to the subject of her blood. The
rush of hurt flooding her proved her wrong.
