In 1375 her uncle Coln who murdered her father, the laird of clan MacFarlane, sees Ailis as an asset to be bartered in obtaining an alliance with the MacCordys. Coln does not care that she raises the three children of her dead sister Maire, whose father remains unknown and that he selected the abusive Donald MacCordy as her spouse.---- Alexander, laird of clan MacDubh, learns from his depressed brother Barra that he has three children with Maire that he has not seen in years. Alexander believes the kids should be raised amongst the love of their father¿s clan. They abduct the three children, their guardian Ailis, and a gentle giant willing to die to keep the four safe. Ailis worries that her clan¿s enemy will destroy the children, but instead sees them showered in love and even her giant protector treated with kindness unlike how her uncle has handled the children. As Ailis and Alexander fall in love, both knows that the MacFarlane and MacDubh must react, but when and how is still to be seen.---- Though her uncle and her intended are too odious to be competitive to the caring though brooding Alexander, fans of Scottish medieval romances will receive plenty of reading pleasure with this strong tale. The clever propaganda mechanisms that paint the Macdubhs as bloodthirsty barbarians amongst the MacFarlanes would fit in well in today¿s 527 ways to say truth during the presidential race. The story line moves forward at a rapid pace as Alexander and Ailis battle with each other and within themselves in a fine historical tale.---- Harriet Klausner

I really liked this book. Very well written and the story plot keeps moving. It has all the aspects that I look for in a book. I love stories about Scotland and clans and this one had it all. loved it.

This must be one of her earlier books because i have read many of her other books and this one, although a good read, lacks the depth in characters and storyline that her later books have. Still a good read!

I loved the chemistry between the two main characters. There was such conflict between the two, yet a great intensity. I loved Alex from his previous introduction in another novel. Yet the Alex in this novel isn't who he started out to be which was very sad. I came back around to loving him by the end. I also love the fact that the female wasn't helpless and had spunk. The villain of the book was so evil that you really were in suspense. Great book!

Great.......................................................................
Hannah Howell in top form. Ailis and Alexander a sort of dysfunctional Romeo and Juliet. In the over twenty bracket. Who in the end kill off some of the family members instead of themselves. Good stuff.

Hannah Howell's books are the kinds that a reader doesn't want to put down.

I like Ms. Howell's books. I pnly wish her female characters had more backbone. No woman on this planet would take being rapwed and feel sorry for the ,an and enjoy it while in bed and tolerate brutal day time abuse.
Ya right. Dont think so

It was ok. Have read many of her books. This one was not one of here best.

I just dont understand why would she change Alexanders character so much from the second book to this one. In highland wedding he was amazing and in this one he acts like a jerk. It was such a big change and she doesnt mention any of the people from the last books in this one
