Publisher Description
“Action, drama, desire, revenge: Shadow Music includes all the necessary ingredients for romantics to plunge into the moors, mountains and magical myth of medieval Scotland.”—The Roanoke Times
Prized for her exquisite beauty, Princess Gabrielle of St. Biel, the daughter of one of England’s most influential barons, is a perfect bargaining chip for a king who needs peace in the Highlands: King John has arranged Gabrielle’s marriage to a good and gentle laird. But this marriage will never take place.
Upon her arrival in Scotland, Gabrielle is immediately entangled in Highland intrigue, as a battle royal flares between enemies old and new. For two sadistic noblemen, underestimating Gabrielle’s bravery and prowess may prove fatal. Colm MacHugh, the most feared man in Scotland, makes no such mistakes about the captivating princess. Under his penetrating gaze, neither Gabrielle’s body nor her heart is safe.
“No one does historical romance better than Garwood. . . . Gabrielle is an enchanting heroine.”—The State (Columbia, S.C.)
“A compelling historical romance.”—Publishers Weekly

Meh
I’ve been a die-hard Garwood fan for a long time, particularly for her historical romances. I’m pretty sure this one is my least favorite. It’s not that the story was terrible, but it was missing the hallmarks I look for in this author’s novels. The romance was slim-to-nil. They literally only kissed for the first 300+ pages. It also wasn’t as touching or humorous. It just didn’t emotionally engage me with the characters like her other books.
