Wonderful, historical romance with great Scottish detail and a lot of passion. Recommended!
Scottish romance. Enjoyed the main characters and their relationship.
Historical romance in 16th century Scotland
This book was simply wonderful. Ups and downs and lots of plot. Slow in the beginning just a bit, but she builds her main characters well. I enjoyed it very much.
The only negative I can conceive is that, there might have been too many twists and turns, and too much plot for a single story. However I still fancy it a worthy read and a new favorite for certain scenes.

My absolute favorite Virginia Henley. A well thought out plot and wonderful love story between two bold, proud characters. Reccomended. Here's the full summary from the back of the book:

I love Virginia Henley romance books. She really can take you into history. I especially love those rugged dominate men she writes about. Here is what this book is about...

519 pages long. It took me about 3 days to read it. Her books really are hard to put down once you get started.

Scots, Lord Ramsey Douglas and Flaming Tina who vowed to gain mastery over the Lord
I loved this book. "Flaming Tina and the head strong "Ram" were like fire and ice. Not trusting each other until they fell madley in love. I am now a big Virginia Henley fan and history buff. I quickly ordered The Hawk and the Dove, and Desired. Loved them too.
