This is an engrossing tale, as can be expected from May McGoldrick. The prologue, written from the viewpoint of Sir Walter Scott, provides some background information for those not familiar with Scottish history.
Innocently caught in the political and economic upheavals of the times, Isabella is hiding from bounty hunters until she saves the life of the shipwrecked Cinead. Together they are forced to flee, unsure of who they may trust.
Quite suspenseful with some unexpected twists and turns.

This book was a crazy adventure right from the start. I immediately fell in love with Cinead. The way he loved and took care of Isabella right from the start was epic and impressive since he was dominating in her own right. I really cant wait read the Highland Jewel. This is the beginning of an elic adventure.

Excellent story! I felt like I was reading a history of conflict. The book was written in a style that felt old which lended a sense of facts instead fiction. I felt like I was in the period. So much conflict and questioning who to trust was clear. The romance was a nice story too. The ending obviously doesn't answer all the questions so now I can't wait to read the next installment of this series. Great reading!
