This was an enjoyable read to pass a summer afternoon. Finnan MacAllister is determined to avenge his deceased friend and his family. Jeannie MacWherter wants a simple life of peace and quiet after the pain of her past. Unfortunately, she doesn’t realize that the laird of Glen Mohr and her late husband’s friend has ill will toward her. He doesn’t realize how strong the attraction to her will be. Both must leave their past behind to forge a new future together.
I loved the characters in the book. I thought Finnan’s character was a little harsh. He was really mean to Jeannie. There were times I wished I could jump into the book and tell Jeannie to just leave him alone because it’s not worth it. The storyline of Jeannie’s maid and the lad accompanying Finnan add more depth to the story. The plot twists kept me glued to the pages. Each time I thought I knew where the story was going there was a change.
The author did an excellent job of writing a story that was appropriate for the era. The historical detail and storyline meshed well. The characters resonated with me, and I felt what they felt. This one definitely goes in the “will read again” pile.
