Summary: Not one of Ms. Fletcher's best works
Review: Courtesy of The Best Reviews Brianna Cameron had lived the past few years in fear - fear of the dreadful man she had married. He was known to abuse her often, with words and actions. When she learns of his death she is elated, for now she can have the freedom she had thought out of her reach forever. Until a carriage accident leaves her badly injured and alone, her two traveling companions killed. Royce Campbell had retreated to a small cottage to recover from the wounds of his most recent battle, wounds of both the physical and psychological kind. While out hunting one day, he happened upon a destroyed carriage, two dead men, and one gravely injured woman. He takes her to his cottage to help her recover, giving up his much desired solitude for healing. When Brianna awakens, and first sees the hideously scarred visage of her rescuer, she screams in fear and promptly passes out. Upon wakening, she slowly comes to realize Royce means her no harm and allows him to continue her care. As they spend this time isolated together over many weeks, she learns he is an honorable man who truly cares for her, nothing like her late husband. She grows to love this wonderful man, and he her, and they decide to wed as soon as she is well enough to travel home to her brother, Ian, her guardian since the passing of her husband. Fate has other plans for these star-crossed lovers. What Brianna doesn't discover until later, is that Royce is a legendary warrior, feared by even the strongest of men. Upon learning this, she begins to doubt the man who has shown her nothing but love, respect, and kindness. Just as she comes to accept him for whom he is, fate intervenes once again, throwing a surprising twist at them, just after they have said their marriage vows. Their love must now face the ultimate test, to determine if she can love him forever. What should have been a wonderful story falls flat for this reviewer. For most of the story, the plot is very slow and not overly exciting. Over half of the book is all about Brianna's recovery, having her sleeping or lying in bed. There isn't a whole lot of action until much later. The primary storyline takes too long to develop, making this reader wonder if anything was ever going to happen. When the story finally picks up, there still doesn't seem to be much there. Having read, and enjoyed, most of Ms. Fletcher's other works, one can only hope this tale is a fluke occurrence and that future books will prove more indicative of her talents. Other readers may enjoy this story though, even if this reviewer was unimpressed. © Kelley A. Hartsell, April 2003. All rights reserved.

Summary: Why bother?
Review: There's really no point to reading this novel beyond Page 27; that's when the author takes a deep breath, and summarizes what will happen to the hero and herone for the rest of the book (and the rest of their lives, while she's at it). This occurs via the hero's reminiscence of a very detailed prophecy by his dearly departed Grandmother, all in one paragraph. Not only that, but we are told exactly how many kids they'll have, which I have no doubt prophesizes how many other books will be generated for this family as a series. Doubtless, we will see each of the kids grow up to have their *own* star-crossed romance book by the author.
I despise this writing device giveaway. As a reader, what's the point of my continuing? The suspense is gone. The illusion mystery of events unfolding beyond that point has vanished. It serves as a gigantic spoiler for the rest of the book. Was the author trying to show how clever the late Grandmother was, at the expense of the rest of the book? Or is the prophecy wrong? I doubt it. In which case--once again--what was the point of telling it to us at all?

Summary: A Wonderful Love Story...
Review: This is my first book by this author, so I'm out of sequence on the stories. I absolutely loved this book. You can't get better than Chieftain Royce Campbell as a hero! Every line he uttered was manly, perfect, never whiny, and was in fact, quite perfect. He was also VERY handsome, and very intelligent. I thought the story moved along just fine; a sweet love story. It takes good writing to keep lengthy scenes going, as this author did when Brianna and Royce remained in the cabin so long.
But no book is perfect: I thought Brianna was a little immature. Take the giggles, for example. She also kept saying, "It's my decision," like a petulant child. Royce and her brother Ian led her to believe she'd made her own "decision" many times, when in fact they had merely placated her. That's the way I saw it, anyway.
This book left a lasting impression on me. I loved it.

Review: This was a very romantic read--just what you read romance books for right? The love story between Royce, and Brianna is touching and poignante set in the Scottish Highlands and will keep you glued to the pages until the end. Royce is a warrior that has been injured both physically, and spiritually. He goes to a remote cabin to heal. While out hunting he finds a carriage accident and only one survivor who is Brianna. What he doesn't know is that he has found his heart. Brianna is going away after the death of her cruel husband Arran. She is rescued by Royce and he takes care of her and heals her not only physically but mentally as well. Brianna also heals Royce spiritually and together they find love. Their love is strong, but it is tested. The trials and the tests that these both are put through only reaffirm their love for each other but at what cost? This is a sweet novel and one that will grab your attention from the beginning. Although there are a few areas where the story was slow I still felt that overall the book was a keeper.
