Publisher Description
She runs from a forced marriage. He runs from lies. They both run from love.
No! Absolutely not! Never! He dictates and drinks until drunk. I'd kill him before our wedding day has ended.
Sorrell let's her step-brother know that she wants no part of the marriage he arranged for her. Unfortunately, the Clan Macardle is in dire straits and this marriage would prove beneficial. Besides, it's not like there's a line of suitors vying for her. She's a spitfire, though you would never know it with her petite size. Unafraid and strongminded, Sorrell lets nothing stand in her way. Not even the giant of a man who arrives at Macardle keep looking for shelter and food for a couple of days.
John is surprised by the wee woman's fearlessness, by her foolishness, and by her beauty. She gets herself into more difficult situations than he thought possible. But it is none of his concern. He is there only for a few days, then he'll be gone. His life has been a hellish nightmare for the past two years. He is looking for a place where he can be alone to think and decide what to do next. He needs to find out who is responsible for all the lies and deceit that has torn his life apart.
John finds himself protecting Sorrell, more like saving her time and again, and Sorrel finds herself relying on him, something she rarely, if ever, does with anyone. Chaos breaks loose when the pair find themselves in a compromising position. But the chaos is nothing to what Sorrell finds out about John's true identity.
Sorrel must face leaving her sisters, settling in a castle with a husband she's not sure she knows, with a father-in-law who put a price on his son's head, all while trying to figure out who wants her dead. Could things get any more complicated? Enter the horde of barbarians. Nothing is as it seems, but Sorrell is fearless… until she faces true fear.
Customer Reviews
Enjoyable
Enjoyable, if a little mushy. Overall this booked was very enjoyable. The setting was well described, the action was exciting and the mystery was pretty solid. The relationship between Sorrell and her warrior is healthy, if a little mushy. They understand each other and appreciate their flaws (although I felt like he had very little, so maybe not totally realistic). For the first half of this book I could hardly put it down, for the second half I felt it almost, but not quite dragged-which is a little disappointing, since it started so well.
This was my first time read a novel by Fletcher, but I am looking forward to the second in this series.
EPIC READ!!!

Macardle Sisters of Courage
Book 1
by Donna Fletcher
This was EPIC! Donna Fletcher has a new winner with this new series, it hit all the marks and feels for me. Intriguing full of mystery, villains and their cohorts and plenty of sizzle!
Sorrell Macardle is a force to be reckoned with, she’s feisty and doesn’t back down from a challenge. She’s fierce with protecting those she loves and always defends the unfortunate ones. Her forceful nature compensates her petite stature.
Unfortunate for her, her stepbrother James has arrange a betrothal to save their clan and Sorrell wants nothing to do with the man and the marriage, only fate and a miracle can save her.
John has been looking for answers to the lies that ruined his life, looking for a man that might hold the answers, he stops at clan Macardle for some solitude. Instead he comes across a whirlwind of a woman besting a lad twice her size! What’s a man to do but save the woman, and the more he gets to know Sorrell the more she steals his heart. John might very well be the miracle Sorrell has been wishing for. Being caught in a compromising situation finds Sorrell marrying John. What she never expected was her new husband wasn’t who he claimed to be!
Donna Fletcher is a master at writing intriguing plots, she keeps you on edge with very entertaining alpha males and the women that bring them to their knees. I loved loved Sorrell she definitely is no wilting flower she’s her husbands perfect match. The hero is absolutely swoon worthy and their chemistry just sizzled the pages!
As always when I pick up a Donna Fletcher novel I always read it in one sitting. I HIGHLY recommend this new book. Can’t wait to read the next one!
I received a complimentary copy from the author. This is my honest unbiased opinion.
