The Imposter
Fiercely independent Scottish beauty Kate Elliot is a prisoner – betrothed against her will to marry a Laird whose wicked reputation precedes him. Determined to escape such a fate, Kate plunges into the churning sea, desperate to choose her own destiny.
Her plans are shattered when she is captured by the McClain Clan and mistaken for Catherine Berkshire, the errant bride-to-be of the Clan’s Laird.
And thus, Kate’s fate becomes entwined with that of Devon McClain, the powerful and ruggedly handsome (and sometimes mischievous) War Chief of the Clan. Using Catherine Berkshire’s inadvertently stolen identity as a veil of protection; Kate recklessly agrees to marry Devon in an effort to evade a far worse fate. She is drawn to Devon by his gallant offer to protect her, and also by an attraction to him that she can no longer deny.
Kate’s touch awakens an unexpected fire within Devon, and as they fall deeply in love they discover a passion so explosive that it threatens to consume them. The depth of Devon’s love for Kate exposes him to fear for the first time in his life – fear that his enemies will use his beautiful wife as a pawn against him.
He will risk everything as he fights to keep her……
Kate is tormented by the secrets of her past, and she knows that she must reveal her identity to the husband that she has fallen devastatingly in love with – but how can she tell him without losing his trust? She clings to her love for Devon all the while knowing that as her lies unravel, she risks losing him forever if she is exposed as an imposter.
Will the secrets of her past destroy the man that she loves?

I enjoyed this romantic story. Kate decides to run away from one arranged marriage, barely misses another after she is mistaken for his traveling bride, and then ends up married to the younger son when the father dies before she arrives. Kate, still under the name of another woman, accepts marriage to the younger some, hoping he can keep her safe from her father and her own betrothed. It is only a matter of time before her lies are discovered, and she must hope her fledgling love is strong enough to survive the betrayal.

It wasn't a bad story. I really liked Nathan and Devon but Collin was such a bad guy. I think this story could have been better if it had been fleshed out with more details and not from 1st person views. I think it would have benefited from a 3rd person point of view and maybe someone in editing could have helped to enhance the story a bit more but really, Devon makes the hottest Scottish guy and the story for me.

An awesome read, these Scottish 'barbarians' reminded me of brave heart as well as the main male character. I was pleasantly surprised with this romance/ adventure/ suspence novel.
