SETTING: Eilean Donan Castle and Delny Castle

CENTRAL FEMALE CHARACTER: ROGENE WAKELEY – very intelligent; working on PhD; curious.

CENTRAL MALE CHARACTER: ANGUS MACKENZIE – a peacemaker; will give up his own happiness for the sake of others; not very literate.

SYNOPSIS: She was preparing for the wedding to start in 2021 but SINEAG had other plans. In 1310, he was preparing to marry a woman he did not want.

WHAT I LIKED: The rescue.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: Definitely hated the excessive use of the word “God - - - -“ . Not necessary

RATING: (4 ) stars BECAUSE his title was not very clear and yet he continuously sacrificed for his clan as a Laird would. The ending seemed incomplete for this story.… (mere)
