Después de haber perdido a su familia en un incendio, Rosalind queda como la señora de la casa y tiene que aprender por la fuerza como llevarla, incluso aquellas labores que corresponden a los hombres. Malcom es un guerrero imparable, con un único deseo, conseguir un botín de guerra donde asentarse y formar una verdadera familia con una mujer dulce y maternal.

Ella quiere conservar su castillo.
Él quiere ese castillo para él, incluyéndola a ella.

Ella odia a los escoceces al pensar que ocasionaron el incendio que acabó con su familia.
Él odia a los ingleses por todo el daño que han hecho a su nación y a su antiguo amor.

Ella es obstinada y orgullosa.
Él es fuerte y estratega.

Él puede protegerla.
Ella no quiere ser protegida.

Él la quiere como esposa.
Ella la está prometida a otro.

Y así un sin fin de cosas.

Es un libro muy entretenido, sí. Lo que pasa es que Rosalind me saca de mis casillas, demasiado orgullosa hasta el punto de rayar en lo idiota. De verdad me disgustaba mucho sus acciones en algunos minutos. Malcom no le estaba dando motivos de pelear y ella los buscaba innecesariamente. Pero creo que el colmo fue cuando le escribió al duque amigo de su padre. Ese fue el colmo de su estupidez.

Pero bueno, fue bastante entretenido.

This was a really good book but at times I did find that the main character, Rosalind, was rather naive and it frustrated me. It also continues to shock me how all of the romance books out there, the woman is always strong and holds up well. I want to read a book where I can relate more, that we don't always have to be strong. So, this is not necessarily anything about just this book, but a vast majority of novels out there.

Okay though not really worth the read. It could have been written by an 8th grader. Not complex or suprising. With 196 pgs it's not bad just ok.

So Rosalind has been acting as laird of her people in secret, telling everyone outside her keep that her brother is still alive. When Malcolm MacNair comes on behalf of Robert the Bruce to take over her holdings in his name she does everything she can to fight back, remembering the brutal fire set by the last group of marauding Scots that killed her family. But Malcolm appears to be honorable and determined to keep things as they are - he doesn't want to change things overly, because they're running well already. But despite her attraction to Malcolm, Rosalind can't give her allegiance to a Scot - it would be like a betrayal to her family.

This was a pretty good, fairly straightforward Scotland romance - and every now and again I need a Highlander fix. I appreciate that Malcolm wasn't a brute or chauvinistic. I also could understand Rosalind's reluctance to trust him. On the other hand, I wondered repeatedly why she didn't at least tell him why she had so much trouble trusting a Scot and I questioned her intelligence (a lot) when she ran off with Geoffrey. Still a good, solid and enjoyable romance.

the heroine's character is that of a strong personality that sometimes not all women are like that. there will always be a time that women needs the help of a hero.

I liked it. It was pretty much everything I expected, and it was exactly what I wanted. Would recommend as a historical romance.

[Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Malcolm is awesome, he can raid my keep any day. Anyway, the heroine is kinda annoying, but over all a very great read.
