Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Much Better than Expected
Review: The garish cover put me off this book for too long. Garnett has done her homework and the setting is accurate and convincing. Her characters, although relatively familiar, are nonetheless fully fleshed and interesting. The story mixes historical fact and fancy deftly and you don't lose interest. This is an above average romance, a good historical novel and a fun read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A masterpiece!
Review: The Scotsman is one of the best books I've read in a long time. The characters were compelling and sympathetic, and the historical detail was finely woven into the plot.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and free to speak their mind, but at least have the decency to put your name up for the world to see along with your mean-spirited comments about a book highly-praised by critics and readers alike.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great book!
Review: This book was okay, but I have definitely read better novels about Scotland and the middle ages. The characters didn't seem realistic, and I didn't feel there was enough description. I couldn't picture the Scottish countryside, though the descriptions of the interior of Castle Rock were fairly good.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: In Love With The Scotsman...
Review: This story was truly compelling and wonderful. I fell for the hero instantly. He was like William Wallace from "Braveheart" all over again. Juliana Garnett as well, puts a lot of history into her books so you are not just reading a romance. You are reading history. It was almost spooky because I felt like she had actually traveled back into time. I felt I had traveled back into time myself. Anyone would believe that Alex Fraser and Catherine truly lived at that time. I would rate this book a perfect ten if I could. This is the first book I have read by her and plan to read the rest. Juliana is truly a legend in her own time. May she write like this forever.

Summary: Different!
Review: This was my first novel by Ms. Garnett. The detail to history, although was excellent and informative, may be tedious for some. The plot was well spoken, and the characters well developed. This book did take time to go through, because it is chalk full of details, the story was interesting, but the ending a little weak I thought. All in all though, I would give this author another read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Book! Best medieval I've read in a long time!!
Review: Wonderful story! I loved Alex and Catherine. One of the best medievals I've read in a long time, true to the times without being too brutal. The love scenes are touching and seem so real...I will look for this author again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: OOOooo a definite Keeper!!!
Review: WOW!! As a Scot I am PICKY on my Scottish Historicals, but this one really lived up to my standards.

In the period of the Scots struggling for Scottish Independence, Alexander Fraser discovers his younger brother has been taken hostage by the English Earl of Warfield. Desperate for a bargaining tool, he kidnaps the daughter of the really nasty Earl. What Alexander does not comprehend is Warfield really dislikes his beautiful daughter, so as a pawn she is nearly worthless to him.

Alex must face his growing love for this woman of the enemy, try to save his brother and stop the wrath of the Earl.

She blend historical fact and fiction with a craft that leaves you haunted a long after you put it down.
