Publisher Description
Jude Deveraux steps back to a time and place where revenge and rivalry rule men's hearts—and love conquers all—in this wonderful Montgomery novel.
Bronwyn MacArran was a proud Scot. Stephen Montgomery was one of the hated English.
He came to Scotland as a conqueror, saw her beauty and was vanquished. But still she would abhor him.
She owned a temper hot enough to forge the armors of battle or inflame a valiant soldier's passion. Yet still she would resist him.
She became his reason to live, his reason to love. And still she would deny him.
But while clan fought clan, while brother took up sword against brother, and the highlands ran with blood—their destiny was made...and this mighty warrior pledged himself to his woman's pride, her honor and her name—and made of their love a torch to burn through the ages!
Customer Reviews
The Highland Velvet
Loved this book. I started reading Jude Devereaux in the late 80’s but never read her books in order. Now I am doing just that!
I had no problems keeping track of the characters, they were all fleshed out for me. I found her story line entertaining and unforeseen!
It’s a no for me
This story had potential. But it was all over the place. I truly wanted to like it. I almost didn’t finish it on a few occasions, but I always finish what I start. This one was a no for me.
Not my favorite…
First off… I LOVE Jude Devereaux novels. But the main character Bronwyn is SOOOO unlikeable! It’s like taming of the shrew… if the shrew was rabid. Stephen is so kind and patient and it’s hard to handle how unforgivably awful she is to him. I’ll be honest, I haven’t finished it yet, but I do not see how her character can possibly be redeemed satisfactorily.
I’m still going to read all the Montgomery/Taggart novels, but kinda wish I’d skipped this one…
