Description
Scotland
The MacCoinneach family is gifted but afflicted. Deeply rooted powers of healing, feeling, and prophecy run in their bloodline. Descended from the Norse and mystical Ancients of the Isles, they must each face the curses associated with their ability…they must each find the path to love.
A Hundred Breaths
1263
Gwyn of Uist is a merciful Healer but loses breaths of her life with every healing charm. She barters an alliance with a Scot bent on revenge against her Norse kin, in the hopes to save her brother from their abusive father. But can she and Simon MacCoinneach outwit her betrothed and bring an end to the Norse-Scottish bloodshed when it will take all her breaths to save Simon on the battlefield?
A Hundred Kisses
1296
Deirdre MacCoinneach feels the lifebloods of everyone around her…but vows to discover if her gift killed the men she married. Under the facade of a trader, Alasdair Montgomerie travels to Uist with pivotal information for a claimant seeking the Scottish throne. A cruel baron hunts him, leaving little room for alliances with the lass he meets along the way. Amidst ghosts of the past, Alasdair and Deirdre find themselves falling together in a web of secrets and the curse of a hundred kisses…
A Hundred Lies
1322
Rosalie Threston's fortune-telling lies have caught up with her and she's on the run from a ruthless English noblewoman. Rosalie finds refuge in the halls of Eilean Donan castle deep in the Highlands, and in the arms of the laird's mysterious son, Domhnall Montgomerie. Terrible visions plague Domhnall and he avoids physical contact to temper them. When an accidental touch reveals only delight, he wonders if Rose is the key to silencing the Sight. Mystical awakening unravels with each kiss. But can Domhnall embrace his gift in time to save her life, even if it means exposing her lies?
Norse invasions, Scottish fights for independence, and the plights of the mystical isles' people come together in The Hundred Trilogy.

I don’t usually read historical romantic fiction, but was drawn to this trilogy set in Scotland, and I wasn’t disappointed. I enjoyed following the MacCoinneach family through three generations and the associated curses each one had to overcome. I think my favourite book in the trilogy was the first one, A Hundred Breaths, and I really rooted for the gutsy heroine, Gwyn, a Healer, and hero Simon MacCoinneach - initially seen as an enemy of the family and a rather bloodthirsty one at that. However, their relationship as it develops feels true and believable. The second book in the series, A Hundred Kisses, follows Gwyn and Simon’s daughter, Deirdre MacCoinneach, who feels the lifebloods of people around her. Alasdair Montgomerie is on a mission to get pivotal information for a claimant seeking the Scottish throne, but is waylaid at the MacCoinneach castle and provides an alias to hide his mission. Both he and Deirdre are keeping secrets which threaten to tear them apart even as they grow closer. The third book in the trilogy, A Hundred Lies, was my least favourite of the three. This follows Deirdre’s son, Domhnall, who is a Seer, and Rosalie who is a fortune teller. I found it difficult to warm to Rosalie for some reason, and the book itself felt different to the first two, but I cannot put my finger on exactly why it felt different. Nevertheless, I did enjoy A Hundred Lies, and it provided a satisfactory ending to the trilogy, while leaving it open for the possibility of more books following the MacCoinneach line. I did enjoy this trilogy by Jean M Grant and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys historical romantic fiction, and historical Scottish romantic fiction. I shall certainly keep an eye out for any further books in this series.

I received this from Netgalley.com.
"Norse invasions, Scottish fights for independence, and the plights of the mystical isles' people come together in The Hundred Trilogy."
Generally speaking, I liked this saga of Gwen and Simon and their descendants as fictional characters weaving their lives through very real times. The romance was a little too much at times but overall, an okay read.
