I loved this book! Like someone else said, it is not your typical romance in that it is brutal at some points. But lets face it, it was a brutal time period, and the author really focuses on the historically correct aspect to bring that time period to life. Which is great with me as I am a historical nut, and thought that this book had a great balance between the historical parts and the love story. To me it was the type of book that really made you feel for the characters, becuase you went on a journey with them as they had to overcome many obstacles. Ms. Givens has become one of my favorite authors, as she really does her research. I would reccomend all of her other books as well.

Very good! Not your typical Highland romance but I think that actually made it better!

Wow!
This is a beautifully written historical adventure in medieval Scotland. It takes place during a time when there are still Viking raiders from the north. It is amazing in detail and in the character development.
This is a definite read for any history buff, any romance reader, and anyone who loves action in a story.
This is a great weekend read - and I mean most of the weekend! Once you pick it up, you will not be able to put down the characters or the beautiful descriptions of Western Scotland. I actually needed tissues during some sections! However, it all ends...well, you will need to find out on your own!

An utterly fantastic story of epic proportions -- I had trouble putting it down. This is not a light and fluffy read, it is one of those books where the characters stay with you.

One of the best historical that I have read. If you want lots of sex and wimpy characters don't bother with this book. A delightful read!!!!
