Don't be fooled....This is not much of a romance.
Let's face it - we're all looking for a good, romantic story-line...and some gratuitous "heaving bosom" love scenes! This is mainly historical fiction. I read through 370 pages of murder, rape, and cruelty to get barely a page of glossed-over love making! If you want history, read Alison Weir...at least it's real.
Having said that, I did like the characters - I wish the author had developed more of their "sixth sense" of knowing one another in a previous life. And, I wish she had placed them together in the story line more often....Unfortunately, they were only together for 20% of the book - the other 80% was devoted to battle scenes descriptions.
wonderful
I loved this story. The characters are realistic and human, not the larger than life you usually meet. I was caught up in the story from the beginning. Very unique, the first story I've read about the Viking raids on Scotland.
On a Highland Shore
This book is a great read. I found it to be fast moving and very hard to put down. It's an epic love story about the trials one faced in Scotland in the mid 1200s. Fantastic main characters as well as strong supporting characters. I recomend this book to anyone who loves Scotland and beleives in the existence of destiny and true love. I can't wait to hear Nells' story!
