I Love Julie Garwood!!! She has the most interesting characters, and the funniest circumstances. This is a historical novel in the days after the death of Richard the Lionheart. Gillian is the victim of Baron Alfred who slaughters her father, and destroys her family. Luckily she meets up with the handsome Laird Sinclair who thinks that she is perfect except for the fact that she is English. Fast paced and fun, everything a book should be.
