From USA Today bestselling author Glynnis Campbell... “Grim Gellir” Cameliard of Rivenloch lives for glory on the tournament field, and he may be the greatest warrior in all Scotland. As the son of a laird, he assumes his bride will be chosen for him as chivalry demands, and he doesn’t expect it to be a love match. But when the king threatens to wed him to the enemy, he is forced to question his loyalty and desperate to find a Scottish wife.
Merraid of Darragh, a spirited sword-wielding maidservant from Gellir’s past, can’t bear to see her childhood hero doomed to a loveless marriage, so she intervenes as his matchmaker. When none of the prospects seem worthy of him, she unwittingly finds herself swept up in a friends-to-lovers romance and a battle for his heart, and Gellir faces the one intrepid warrior he may not be able to conquer.

In this book it centers on Sir Gellir Cameliard of Rivenloch, and maid servant Merraid of Darragh. Merraid had been in love since she was 15 years old. Then he had been her champion and done anything to please him but it wasn’t for his expert fighting skills, or his swoon worthy good looks but it was for his honor and caring for others no matter if they were a high ranking nobleman or low level servant. She was heartbroken when he left but as soon as he left his cousin Lady Feiyan was who had married Laird Dougal mac Dougal started training her as warrior.
So four years later Gellir returns only to meet bridal candidates or else his King might force him to marry an English wife. At first he didn’t care as it was like a business arrangement. Then he sees Merraid and his mouth drops, not recognizing the most gorgeous creature he ever set his eyes on. He is surprised it is Merraid the maidservant and is instantly attracted to her. Merraid tried to feign that she no longer cared but that didn’t last long. She also decided to be a good friend and help him pick a wife that would be worthy of him.
Of course Gellir found something wrong with every candidate and knew his feeling for Merraid were growing. The feeling was very mutual but they both knew due to their class difference they could never be more than friends. Yet every time a man was near Merraid he wanted to lop their head off with his sword!
Then a woman named Lady Carenza was perfect for him and everyone loved her even Merraid liked her. As much as she did not want too! Except this woman was miserable always weeping and obviously didn’t want this union any more than Gellir did. Soon she disappears but Gellir takes the blame which will make his an outcast and ruin his reputation. Yet Merraid is determined to save the man she loves but can never have.
Will Gellir and Merraid ever admit their true feelings for each other? Do the nobleman and the maidservant have a chance at love and happiness? Shall Gellir have a loveless arranged marriage never having true love like his Rivenloch clansmen? Read and find out in this phenomenal read that this reader absolutely loved!
Bestselling author Glynnis Campbell pens another breathtaking tale that I absolutely loved. It’s a friends to lovers romance which was beautifully written. Plus if you are like me and have read her other Rivenloch books it is also like a beloved family reunion too. As readers will recognize some familiar characters from previous books. I absolutely loved that too, as always I also find myself giggling, laughing and crying whenever I read a Glynnis Campbell novel! It’s a bit like heaven that sweeps me away!
A book readers definitely do not want to miss. As I have been reading this author since her debut book and her books are so unique and special. I can’t wait to read the next book in this captivating series! I absolutely and unequivocally highly recommend this book!
Boring
Stupid and predictable. A champion warrior is bested by a maidservant in her first scuffle with him, stupid. Boring
