Helpful Score: 1

This book definitely read like a Julie Garwood book - you could see her style come thru with the fairytale type intro about the background of the heroine's family. As with many of her books, the heroine is first depicted as a small child, demonstrating some of her qualities/characteristics that later appear in her as an adult. As usual, this heroine has something out of norm - in this case very level-headed, literate, and an excellent archer. The hero is larger than life, and only slightly flawed. An easy read, not as much angst/emotional turmoil - the book seems to run rather rapidly towards the end after you get about halfway, without much relationship between the hero/heroine. You could see all the stray heroes left hanging around waiting for sequels - makes it easy only having a few female characters with all these knights and Lairds. Not going on the keeper pile, but maybe worth reading as part of the series. There are shadow or music themes in the book.. disregard the irrelevant title and cover art.
