To Love a Scottish Laird
Sometimes you really can fall in love at first sight...Lady Catherine de Wolfe knows she must find a husband before her brother chooses one for her, but none of the knights and lords she knows have caught her eye. A tournament to celebrate the wedding of the Duke of Normandy might be her answer. She does not expect to fall for a man after just one touch. Laird Douglas MacLaren of Berwyck is invited to the tournament by the Duke of Normandy. He goes to ensure Berwyck's safety once Henry takes the throne. He does not expect to become entranced by a woman who bumps into him. Before they can express their feelings, the Duke orders them wed to strengthen ties between his English supporters and the borderland, and then separates them by commanding Douglas's escort to his home.Yet, nothing is ever quite that simple. Not everyone is happy with the union of this English lady and a Scottish laird. From the shores of France, to Berwyck Castle on the border between their countries, Douglas and Catherine must find their way to protect their newfound love.Read for FREE on Kindle Unlimited

Thankfully short, but puerile. Very little plot or character development.

What an amazing historical short story that, despite its length, manages to enchant readers!
Read full review in the 2019 June issue of InD'tale Magazine.

This was another wonderful story by Sherry Ewing and one that had me unable to put the book down once I started reading it!! I've read many of the World of de Wolfe Pack books and I have to admit this one is one of my favourites.
Laird Douglas MacLaren of Berwyck and Lady Catherine de Wolfe meet at a tournament and you can feel the attraction between them sizzling hot through the pages!! He's a Scot and she's English so they never thought anything could come of their attraction but fate plays a hand they least expected. I loved both their characters and how strong they are together.
Very well written, this author never disappoints!! Now I look forward to reading Charles and Freya's story.....

Sherry Ewing once again proves she has an amazing talent in creating a story. This time Ms. Ewing showcases that talent with Lady Catherine de Wolfe and Laird Douglas MacLaren in To Love a Scottish Laird.
Who knew that a simple invitation to a tournament would lead to two unlikely people having their happily ever after? Ms. Ewing did, but not before she threw in a little strife and danger, which always makes that HEA all the sweeter. Oh, and a few secondary characters that we’ll hopefully see get their story.
(And any visit to Berwyck Castle is always a plus!)
As always, THANK YOU Ms. Ewing for an outstanding story!

1152 From Beloved Berwyck Castle at The Border of Scotland and Ireland to Caen, Normandy for a tournament to pay honor to the wedding of the Duke of Normandy and his new bride.
Fate was in the meeting of Douglas of Clan MacLaren and laird of Berwyck Castle and Lady Catherine de Wolfe! He was there to pay respects and compete and she was there with her brother who was competing also. Scottish and English and an instant attraction that could not be denied. One accidental touch and they could only gaze at each other.
But can this attraction go further or will unseen forces keep them apart? Douglas is the quintessential warrior with a big heart, especially for his sister and mother. Catherine is beautiful and strong but wants to marry for love and not just her status and fortune.
I was so happy to see this story by Sherry Ewing. She is one of my very favorite authors and has such a true gift of pulling at my heart with her characters and descriptions. I could feel the chemistry between these two coming off the pages and sighed many times as I highlighted so many passages in my kindle (yes, I might as well have highlighted the entire book!).
Prepare to sit for awhile because as you start the first page, you will not want to move until the end. I highly recommend this and all of her books! You can thank me later...

Sherry Ewing has once again written a book that filled my heart and made me sigh.
Catherine and Douglas are special characters. Catherine has never been happy with any choices for a husband. Douglas has never been any choices for a wife. They prove that one touch, one that took both of their breaths away, can make the difference in forever love and happiness.
As with each of Ms. Ewing's books, she describes characters and scenes that make the reader feel as if they are in the book. From start to finish, which I could not put down once I began, this book was a joy to read.

Another exciting book from a great author. If you haven't read any of her books, do yourself a favor and pick one up. This is right up there with all of her others. I couldn't put it down. And I didn't want it to end. Kept me up reading. Wonderful

Catherine de Wolfe knows she must marry. Her brother has been patient long enough. Henry Duke of Normandy is getting married and is having a Tournament/Festival...there she must choose a man worthy a de Wolfe. She wants love and she is determined to have it. Douglas MacLaren is the Laird of Berwyck (now back in Scottish hands) and has been invited. He knows that Henry will probably be King one day, so he knows he must accept so he doesn't make an enemy in Henry. His people want peace but will fight to keep Berwyck Castle and the land in Scottish hands. He knows he will have to watch his back but he goes to please the Duke. While there Catherine runs into him and it is instant attraction on both their parts. They fight their attraction but even when the Duke of Normandy sees this, he knows he can't pass up an alliance like this one. The tournament proves who is the worthy knight and our Laird doesn't disappoint Catherine. She makes a wonderful choice and even though trouble arises she sees it through to be with her love!
There is pageantry, love, betrayal but most of all there is magic with these two! There characters are larger than life and their story of love at first sight sets up the future descendants of Berwyck Castle. Sherry Ewing has woven her magic and included the powerful de Wolfe family. Didn't see that coming, but love it just the same. Heavy sighs all around...

“Trust me...”
When Lady Catherine de Wolfe and Laird Douglas of Clan MacLaren met, the stars aligned as the planet paused its rotation. For a moment there was no one else but the two of them. Then the universe made plans that the politics of the day enacted.
To Love a Scottish Laird by Sherry Ewing is a sweet and charming 12th century love story. At it's center is the trust and loyalty of two balanced souls who are willing to risk their hearts to reap a lifelong love.
I loved both Catherine and Douglas. Their characters are perfectly matched, and they each bring to the relationship strength, courage and kindness. In addition to the two main characters, I thought the supporting characters were well defined and properly placed within the story. This is not a lengthy stand-alone book, but it is well-written, properly paced and it has a happy ending with a satisfying epilogue.
Content alert: The language is free of vulgarities, but there is some passionate kissing and moderately described marital intimacy.
Disclosure: I received an complementary copy of this book from the author. I am voluntarily submitting my honest review.
FYI: I also posted my review on Amazon (as Rural Reader) and on BookBub. This book also made my 5 star favorites page on Pinterest (https://www.pinterest.com/marthajane6... ).

Padraig de Wolfe plans to attend with his family hoping he will find a suitable match for his sister, Catherine. Catherine knows it is time for to either wed or enter the nunnery. She isn’t eager to marry but cannot see herself as a nun either. Since she hasn’t found anyone suitable among her brother’s knights she is hopeful there will be someone at the tournament.
Laird Douglas of Clan MacLaren also receives an invitation to the celebration. Since the Scots and English have a tenuous relationship he feels he must attend to strengthen wht they do have. He also feels he might find a suiter for his sister, Frayer. On the first day of the tournament Catherine walks right into Laird Douglas.
Miss Ewing has brought together both the residents of Berwyck Castle and the de Wolfe clan in this novella. It is a wonderful love story filled with the excitement of a tournament, castles and a nemisis.
If you have read any of Miss Ewing’s other books you will love this one as well. Once I started reading I couldn’t put it down.

I really liked this story. The pace is quick and the storyline is entertaining as it evolves. I enjoyed the characters because they had personalities that could be humorous one moment and serious the next. The story ends with a satisfying conclusion. Most of the loose ends are tied up except what will happen in the future if King Henry of England wants Laird Douglas, of Clan MacLaren's castle and land on the boarder of Scotland and England. Will the Scottish Laird who married the esteemed English de Wolfe maiden, Lady Catherine, be enough to protect him and his people? A very good read and I do recommend it.

Oh how I love this story. It’s the best of both worlds, we meet Dougkaoand Catherine Amelia’s parents from the hearts through time series as well as another tie game the DeWolfe’s. Douglas and Catherine quickly became one of my favorite book couples. She a head strong DeWolfe and Douglas the Laird of Berwyck Castle. Such an unlikely love story Sherry Ewing is the queen of Romance pulling my heart strings through the entire book. Love love love!!!

The founding of a Dynasty. This is the story of the laird and lady who started the Knights of Berwick chain of stories. These forays into 11th century life are all stand-alone stories however, they are inter-connected and tell the tale of each of the family members, through their experiences and through time. (Read them, you’ll see what I mean and you won’t be disappointed.) If you like being immersed into medieval life, you will love these books. Well done!

True love at first sight
What a beautiful refreshing story of a love at first sight! So happy to have read this short but sweet story. Wish it was longer because I love reading details about Knights, tournaments, and ladies. Now on to the next chapter in the lives of medieval happily ever afters!

It seems the De Wolfe's have always been ordered to marry for alliances thru the ages and for catherine is no different, just she is to marry a Scottish Laird. Soon after they are married he is ordered to escort the King to caen and catherine goes to the highlands. There is a lot of turmoil there and Catherines life is in jeopardy. Lots of action and newfound love. HEA.

Catherine and Douglas’s story was interesting. I couldn’t put it down. I read until the end and did not stop until the last page. Sherry Ewing has taken a moment in history and wound a wonderful story of intrigue and love. It is story worthy of continuing…

Quick read, good start
I agree with a previous review.... this story could be fleshed out and benefit from further character development. It’s a good start.
