The beginning was great but after 70% it got a bit irritating and offputting to see the heroine cracking jokes and laughing while the hero was being charged with murder...This is Gillyanne Murray (daughter of Eric and Bethia Murray in Highland Promise) and Connor MacEnroy--his siblings have stories (Fiona of 11 knives/Highland Warrior, etc).Eric and Bethia didn't follow tradition of the time period and made sure EACH of their children had their own "lands." In this tale, Gillyanne Murray travels to her lands to find a feud amongst her surrounding neighbors. They decided (while she was gone) that she needed to marry one of them. Ever the diplomat, she comes up
A quick read. Not a bad story. It drug in places and there is NO WAY that men actually have conversations like the men in this book. And the endless psycho-analyzing got old really quickly. I skipped a lot of dialogue that was a repeat of the same thing. Other than that, it was a good lite read.
I have always loved Gillyanne's character throughout the Murray series, her book did not disappoint. Gillyanne Murray has dower lands gifted to her from her father's kinsmen and she decides that she is going to go visit them and the keep there. Gillyanne has always felt that men never paid any attention to her and she was wanting the romance that her cousins had found. Afraid she will never marry, Gillyanne decides she'll just become the laird of her dower lands. Unknown to her, the three lairds
This was a good one!!
This is the first book I have read by this author, and I am disappointed. I did finish the whole book, though, so I could write a fair review. The only reason I gave this two stars is because the beginning was funny and I liked the heroine. She had spunk and she was quite amusing. Otherwise, it would have been an easy one star rating. I found two major turnoffs for me in this novel. First, I thought the hero, Conner, was a dud. His character started off well, being amused and appreciative of
Love this book!I have read all of the books in the Murray series at least twice. This one is my favorite. I love the Gillyanne! Opening a book is a commitment and I always force myself to finish even if the book sucks or has terrible spelling errors in it (those are the hardest). Every so often I will read a few books that just don't grab me and I feel like I've just wasted a few hours of my life on them. When that happens, I pick up this book and flip to one of my favorite parts. Then I'm ready
