5 Stars
This book was delightful.
It has been a few months since I read the first book in the series (The
Secret). The first book follows Iain
Maitland and the troubles that pursue Judith.
This book follows two Lairds, Ramsey Sinclair and Brodick Buchanan, whom
we met in the first book.
Gillian is English and in big trouble. The man who killed her father says that he
will also kill her uncle if she doesn’t find her long lost sister and the king’s
treasure that she is hiding. On top of
that, Baron Alford (evil murderous English bad guy) now has a small child in
his possession that she knows he will kill when he discovers the truth about
him. She must make her escape with the
boy and find her sister and the treasure before the fall festival or her uncle
dies. She ends up in the hands of the
brutal Laird Buchanan who also happens to be the guardian for the small
boy. He wants revenge for the insult,
but Gillian can’t allow him to interfere until her uncle is safe.
Bridgid is a member of Ramsey Sinclair’s clan and becomes
fast friends with Gillian. The two end
up in trouble repeatedly and drive both Ramsey and Brodick crazy.
My favorite part about this book was the dialogue between
Brodick and Gillian and Bridgid and Ramsey.
There was quite a few sections that I would re-read because it was
either funny or sweet.
I can’t wait to get my hands on my next Julie Garwood.
Favorite quote:
This is when Brodick and Gillian first meet:
He smiled. “Nay,
lass, they came to steal you, and that, you see, is an insult I cannot allow.”
