Summary: engaging Scottish historical romance
Review: The legend predicted that the MacArthur clan would be blessed and cursed by the birth of a Faery Woman with healing powers. The lass would be tested by the elements and if she survived, would truly be blessed. However, if she should fall in unrequited love, she would lose her abilities.Her dying father believes Blair MacArthur is the legendary Faery Woman, but he worries for her safety from her hateful brother Niall who is jealous of her prowess. When their father dies, Niall plans to wed her to cruel Donal. Instead, her sire asked Laird Graeme Campbell of Stonehaven to protect his beloved daughter by marrying her. Niall and Donal readjust their plans even while Graeme decides to make Blair fall in love with him with no reciprocity so she will lose her powers and be safe because he's not in love. This is a charming mix of a wee bit of magic inside an engaging Scottish historical romance. The story line moves forward rather quickly while Blair serves as the center as the subplots evolve through her. Though the villains seem uneven, the hero is a wonderful character whose refusal to love belies all he will do to keep Blair safe sort of like that 10CC song "I'm Not in Love". Harriet Klausner

Summary: Atrocious
Review: This book was so bad I couldn't finish it. The writing was atrocious. The plot was so thin. The author just repeated the same things over and over: Blair insisting she couldn't love Graeme because of the Prophecy; Graeme forbidding Blair from practicing witchcraft; Graeme vascillating between being turned on by Blair ... and turned off by her powers. That was basically the whole book in a nutshell. None of the characters had any depth and, therefore, they were all boring and tedious. To her credit, the author at least tried to tie in the historical aspects, but even this was handled in a very cursory fashion. Essentially, it seemed that this book was written by an ordinary person who had read a lot of romance novels and thought, "This doesn't look so hard, I bet I can write a romance novel,too." Well, this deficient effort proves that writing a solid, interesting romance novel is harder than it looks, and takes much more talent than this author possesses. I definitely will not bother reading any more of her books.
