Summary: Heart breaking, poignant, tender and rare
Review: A heart breaking story, and readers will wept for Sabrina Cameron and Morgan MacDonnell. This rare love story really touch readers' nerve as it was really enduring. I adore Sabrina for her braveness in standing for her clan and her many efforts to ensure the happiness of her clan and MacDonnell's clan. Sabrina was forced by her father to tie the knot with Morgan for her clan's sake. Both of them wanted peace between the clan and I worshipped Morgan for his effort. It was touching actually, that a simple vow means a lot for a woman. How sensitivity was valued as one's feminity. Both of them feel the marriage was forced and Morgan wanted Sabrina with his body and soul. Sabrina was a princess for him and he considered himself not worthy of her. Sabrina eventually broke her vow and both of them try to sort the difference between them. A sudden cruel twist in the story make Sabrina bitter and cold. It was up to Morgan to find the lost soul of his princess. He was transformed from a beast to a maginificent gentleman, and it was all for Sabrina. I did wept a lot in the story as it was breaking my heart with the unfolding of one event to another. The story is poignant, tender and rare. Readers will cherish this story for a long time.

Summary: Pride--Love--Sacrifices... A 10 stars!
Review: After reading 3 non-impressive books in a row, I was afraid I'm loosing my taste for historical romance novels. I've reread my favorites to bring back my mood in vain and so I decided to read a book from one of my favorite authors. THANK YOU, Ms. Medeiros for bringing me back on track with this poignant story of Morgan and Sabrina.

I would give this book a 10 stars if I could. It's been awhile since I have enjoyed a story this much that I was afraid for it to end. Well, it has to end sometime, I know...but I am in no rush, so I was slowly reading this one, absorbing every detail and pleasuring every moment of it yet I still found myself saddened when it finally came to an end. Of all of Teresa Medeiros books that I've read, this is by far her best work. And ONE of the few best ones I've read as well. The plot is one tracked yet eloquent. Characters are impressive even the secondary ones. But Morgan and Sabrina are the prime ones of all. There are no lovey-dovey words between them, but the essence of their affection is clear. I too prefer to read the "three important words" in all of my books, however obvious it may be but Morgan and Sabrina's love for each other was written beautifully... so deep and strong that I too didn't particularly fuss about this self-preference. The way they handled the trials and errors that came their way was surely proof enough. The element of surprise found in this story utterly quenched, warmed and enjoyed my heart. So many unexpected twist and so many heart soaring scenes... Aww, I don't want to mention even one scene here cuz I want readers to feel the goosebumps first hand. Lots of funny moments as well, ones that will make u laugh out loud. *Sigh* Maybe there's a sequel for this book? Since I am a sucker for Epilogues, which unfortunately is not found in this book, perhaps Ms. Medeiros will find time to create story for Alex or Brian, Sabrina's brothers. That way, I would read updates of Morgan, Sabrina and their offsprings.

Overall, this book is funny, exciting, heart warming, deeply affecting and thoroughly satisfying. I recommend this book with all of my might. READ and once again be AWED by this author.

Summary: book description
Review: As she peered over the edge of the gallery, Sabrina Cameron trembled at the sight of the sun-bronzed giant striding into view. But she never recognized the stranger- not until the moment she found herself surrounded by arms of warm steel- and drowning in smoldering green eyes that had once held cool disdain but now shimmered with passion. Morgan MacDonnell, the boy, had been her tormentor. Now it looked as if Morgan, the man, would prove infinitely more dangerous... Though hatred divided their clans, Morgan MacDonnell had come to Cameron Glen hoping for truce... only to find that by evening's end the only way to avert bloodshed was for him to marry his enemy's daughter. But even as Morgan spirited Sabrina away to his rugged fortress, his battle would not be won. For this delicate rose of a girl would put up a bold fight... and the spoils of her victory would be nothing less than a heathen in MacDonnell's heart.

For my own two cents worth on this book, I too believe the book should have ended earlier. The ending was a bit dissapointing after the excellent writing throught the first 350 pages or so.

Summary: Ummmmmmmm...........How to describe this book.
Review: For all the praise this book has gotten from other reviews, I was really disappointed in the way this book dragged on and on. I bought this book after amazon recommended it and I saw the high praise from other reviewers. I am not saying it is a bad book, but it really drags sometimes. Sabrina and Morgan are both to hung up on the past and all the figthing that has happened with their clans. The whole story hinges on this Eve character, who is the bad person. I had this figured out in the first chapter. I guess if you had to have a long book for a car ride or an airplane ride that this would be for you, but otherwise skip this one.

Summary: WONDERFUL
Review: For my keeper shelf! right next to Johanna Lindsey's; Kinley MacGregor's and Julie Garwood's Highlanders.

It was just wonderful! Morgan is a sexy delight. Although - he should have gotten around to claiming his bride sooner!!

I've read her fairy tales that, although sweet, just don't compare. The smooth descriptions just grab you in. And it's so funny - Oh! just refreshing style. I can't explain how good this is.

You'll want to read more by this author ...

Other than a chapter or two from the near ending (dragged a tinny bit) it was just wonderful! Morgan is a sexy delight. Although - he should have gotten around to claiming his bride sooner!!

I've read the fairy tales by TM that, although cute and funny, just don't compare to this one. Smoother descriptions that just grabbed you in. Her humor, hell; her whole writing style is just refreshing and Oh, so good! You'll want to read more by this author ...

Summary: The Kind of Book I Love!
Review: Great Book! My first Teresa Mederiros book and definately I'll be looking for more. What a great writer. This book had everything. It made you cry, laugh, angry and cheer. Sabrina was a heart-warming delight as a child and grew up to be her father's princess and her family's pet. She loved everyone even the stubborn son of their unfriendly neighboring clan, Morgan. She was totally infatuated with him when she was young and tried to make him like her, but he teased her relentlessly. After they are grown up they are thrown together with no fault of their own. This story unveils a romantic, suspenseful adventure that glues you to each page to find out what will happen next. It is full of surprises with events occuring that were impossible to predict.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BRAVO!!!!!
Review: I am an avid romance reader and have been for years, but, I must say, it has been a long time since I have read a book that I have become so absorbed in that I literally can't put it down. I had never read any of Ms. Medeiros books before and was extremely hesitant to order one online. Now, however, I am glad I did. As Ms. Medeiros wove her tale, I was literally enchanted by it. I enjoyed the humor and the relationship between the two lead characters immensely. I shared their pain as hurtle after hurtle challenged their blossoming love. I will definitely buy her other books and hope that all are as well writen as this one!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
