Summary: The start of a wonderful series.
Review: Circle of Honor is a wonderful book set in Scotland during the time of Robert the Bruce.

Adam Mackintosh and Gwenyth Comyn are very engaging characters. Gwenyth is the victim of a violent assault and she coerces Adam into marriage in order to escape her tormentor. Adam, wounded in battle because of his own folly, finds himself married to a women who manipulated him and is plotting against his king.

Despite these circumstances, they rely on God and each other and find a love strong enough to heal Gwenyth's emotional scars and Adam's physical injuries. The book is a good mix of historical intrigue and romance. Carol Umberger is a very gifted author and I am thrilled to see her write about this time period, as there is not much Christian fiction set in this area. Definitely a worthwhile read!!!

Summary: A wonderful love story.
Review: Gwenyth is betrothed to Robert the Bruce's enemy, and seeks to be reunited with him when she is captured and raped. She is then forced to marry Adam Mackintosh rather than see him killed for the purported rape.

Adam is dealing with his own feelings of inadequacy and other problems of assuming the lairdship of the Mackintoshes when his father dies. The last thing he needs is a wife. THe only thing is---he doesn't know her true identity.

The pages that follow take the reader on a journey into the life of nobles in 1300s Scotland as it is battling for its independence from England.

I can't wait until the next book.

Summary: Profound Love
Review: I picked this one from a local bookstore and Thank God, This book is really FANTASTIC!!
Loyalty, honor and last but the most important thing, Love, amid the clashing force in Scotland against English invasion.

The story was opened with a tragedy that befell Gwenyth, the smallest daughter of Sir John Comyn, the traitor whom had been killed by Robert the Bruce (was a to-be King of Scotland).

Gwenyth, being shocked by the death of her father, planned a revenge to strike at Bruce with the Balliols which was declaring that the throne of Scotland should be belong to them. She was to be married with Edward Balliol to strenghten the power against Bruce.

Unfortunately, on the way to meet Edward, she was kidnapped by the gang leader of Clan Chattan, Leod, who had a cruel intention to overtake the chieftain of Chattan position from Adam Mackintosh, the rightful heir.

With his black intention, Leod tried to set Adam on risky position by assaulting Gwenyth (who was in disguise as a servant) on one gathering day in his laird. Gwenyth, receiving the horrible shock, was told to appoint Adam as her rapist while she knew it wasn't him. Somehow, she had to survive and rid of herself from the cursed Leod and at the same time, safe Adam's life. Would God also leave her now like when she had been praying for deliverance when she was assaulted?

Was Adam the answer to her prayer?

The battle between hope - faith in God and despair flowed though the story, of how a broken faith can be restored by loyalty, honor and a profound love.

Summary: One of the best books ever written!!!
Review: This book is amazing because it has the perfect amount of everything. It gives you an example of people trusting God and learning to trust him. I love the message it gives and the romance. It couldn't be written better. I hope Carol Umberger makes a long series of these books because she writes these books beautifully.
