Called the handsomest man in the borders, Angus Ferguson, Earl of Duin, avoids political intrigues in order to keep his small clan safe. Now, in exchange for a piece of land he has long coveted, he has wed the homely daughter of the laird of Rath, Annabella Baird, whose tame demeanor hides a wildcat.

Mary's unfortunate marriage to her cousin Lord Darnley has driven her into the arms of James Hepburn, the dashing, powerful Earl of Bothwell. When Darnley is murdered in spectacular fashion, and his body barely cold before Mary and Bothwell wed, the queen's adversaries retaliate with a war that divides Scotland and tries the long friendship between the Earl of Duin and James Hepburn�??even as it tests the bond of passion between Angus and Annabella in ways they never expected.… (mere)

I kind of wish I was reading this on the Kindle so I could search how many times "plain" is used. I wouldn't be surprised if it averages once per page. At least. Just in case we weren't aware that Annabella is plain. And I'm not sure "afterglow" was in use in the 1500s. Did I mention that Annabella is plain? (

Their story continues beyond declarations of love. Take a ride through Scotland's history. Sometimes the repetition becomes tiresome, was sick to death of the "plain face" comments

I liked this historical romance although it started out slow with lots of details and I really got tired of hearing that heroine was plain. Action picked up midway and was heavy with political intrigue. Handsome earl Angus is given plain Annabella to marry with a dower of some land he wants.

Annabelle is not a beautiful woman, but as the oldest of his daughters, she must be wed before three sisters and they must all be gone before their brother can take a wife. Annabelle's father is determined that her deficiencies will not hamper her prospects and bargains with the Earl of Duin, Angus Ferguson, to add a parcel of land to her dower if the Earl will take her for his wife.

After the ceremony, the two newlyweds work at becoming friends which brings their passions to a head and leads to adventures for both during these turbulent times in Scotland.

I liked the main characters but story and the secondary characters were a bit same old, same old, however, the steamy love scenes will always keep me coming back for more. (

Mini Book Review: Not my favorite of hers, but still an enjoyable read. Lots of steamy scenes between a married couple which is a nice change of pace for a historical romance. There was just something missing in this one like she was sorta bored with the whole thing. The characters are intriguing, its historically accurate and well its set in Scotland so that is always a bonus. Its just the story that fell a little flat, almost like she was giving a play by play of what was going on, instead of telling a tale. I think it would have worked much better as a short story. I guess I just expect much better from Bertrice who was always my go to girl for a story that I could lose myself in. And yes, even-though was disappointed, I will still buy her next book If you have never read her before I would suggest picking up A Moment in Time or Skye O' Malley, now those were outstanding tales!

I purchased this and will keep buying a copy of every book she writes (

Called the handsomest man in the borders, Angus Ferguson, Earl of Duin, avoids political intrigues in order to keep his small clan safe.
