Bride of Fire, Glynnis Campbell

Story Blurb

A hot-tempered warrior lass and an unwelcome Highlander fight over a castle, but when he takes her hostage, his tragic tale and his motherless infant kindle a new flame in her heart.

Beautiful, hot-tempered warrior maid Jenefer of Rivenloch is used to taking what she wants, whether it’s command of her father’s archers or the castle she’s had her eye on for years. So when a heathen Highlander arrives to claim her prize, she schemes to run him off the land. Formidable Morgan Mor mac Giric proves a challenging foe, foiling her plans and taking her hostage. But as the Highlander reveals his tragic history, her heart softens toward the honorable laird and his motherless infant. And when the past brings a deadly threat to his heir and his clan, she becomes the fiery champion of his heart.

My Thoughts/Opinion

Who doesn't need a sassy Scottish lass in their lives? It had been a while since I'd read any historical romance and I wanted to get back to my Julie Garwood roots, so I picked this one up. It's the first of three books in series and was exactly what I'd hoped for. The enemies to loves vibe was strong, but there was also the undercurrent of loss and pride that carried this book and the plot right along. I enjoyed the story a lot and will definitely pick up the other books in this series.

No one could ever fathom what a rare and special gift for deception she had. Nor what a grueling, demanding business it was.
