Summary: Romantic....
Review: I loved Jamie and I thought Isobel was a perfect mate for him. Wow, Jamie was so handsome, he's the type of guy no woman would mind being stranded with in the forest, especially the lovely place he took Isobel. Jamie was so sexy it didn't matter that their one real love scene wasn't described in too much detail, or that subsequent love scenes were left more to the imagination than written dialogue. This was because Jamie was SO romantic.
The story was very good and held my interest throughout.

Summary: SENSUOUSLY ROMANTIC *****
Review: I loved LAIRD OF THE WIND. Susan King weaves such wonderful detail into this book. The reader is swept away to a dangerous, yet wildly romantic land, and follows the heroin and her sexy hero on an incredibly exciting journey. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves Scottish romances! I am now hooked on Susan King! A very entertaining read; THE LAIRD OF THE WIND!

Summary: DELIGHTFUL!!!!
Review: I read the comments from Scotland and it says it all. I just want to add that these characters are so gentle and wonderful compared to so many other books. I can only say that if a man said "Soft you" the way she describes it women would fall at his feet. This from a grandmother nearly 70. I have read several of Susan King's books a recommend them all. Please keep up the great creative writing.

Summary: history minus the romance
Review: I've ordered many books from Amazon but have never taken the time to review one before now. I like Scottish history and the story concept sounded interesting, so I had high hopes for this book when I ordered it. It is obvious that Ms. King put a great deal of research into this book and the historical content is excellent. However, the 2nd word in the historical romance genre is "romance" which was, unfortunately, seriously lacking in this story. In many places throughout the book the dialogue seems to be specifically designed to impart some historical fact or another to the reader, rather than flowing as a natural conversation between characters. In short, this story reads more like an history lesson than it does a romance and I can now say I know more than I ever cared to about goshawks.

Summary: A disappointment
Review: Laird of the Wind had all the elements of a wonderful romance but it was a disappointment. The dialog between the two main characters was at times so unbelievable that I found myself snickering! Too much of the book is dedicated to a falcon and it's training, then it drops off. One would think that the falcon must have some important part in the story for the author to go on and on about it but it didn't. James is being hunted by both the English and the Scots, kidnaps Isobel, and is trying to save his cousin Margaret. But, he finds the time to tame a wild falcon which includes sleepless nights and patience. Come on! This is the first review I have ever written. I'm not happy that it is a negative one but I read all the reviews before I purchase a book (which were positive) only to be disappointed after reading the book so I thought another opinion should be included.

Summary: WONDERFUL!!!!!
Review: LAIRD OF THE WIND is a wonderful and truly enthralling book. I started this book last night and I couldn't put it down until I finished it! Susan King is an extremely talented writer who is capable of pulling you into all of her books. I would and have recommended this book and others by Ms. King to my friends. I love all of her characters in this book,especially James Lindsay, and the way she has of telling you the history of Scotland. Another great and magical book. Please keep writing Ms. King. I loved this book!

Summary: A stunning, lyrical tale with characters you can't forget.
Review: LAIRD OF THE WIND is another shining gem in the treasure chest of Susan King's stunning tales of Scotland. Ms. King combines impeccable research with a style of writing so rich and lyrical, it is a feast for the mind. I always learn something new when I read her work, though that's not what brings me back eagerly every time. What brings me back is her skill at creating an impossible love set against unsurmountable challenges, at evoking such powerful emotion and vivid characters that I am assailed by simultaneous urges to both devour the pages and slowly savor every word. Her books are rich and haunting...and no matter how rich and filling the treat, I can't bear for it to end. James Lindsay is a hero I'm still thinking about days after. He's complex, driven, strong, honorable and haunted--the kind of many-layered hero I find altogether irresistible. Together, he and the lovely, mystical Isobel are magic. (And I want to visit their aerie--Ms. King has described! ! it so vividly that I feel both like I've been there and like I must touch the stone walls, slide into the crystalline pool and feel the kiss of the wind on my own skin.) When you finish this book, you'll be glad she has written others because you won't want to have to wait for the next release. Her level of skill is such that going backward in reading her work will not disappoint you--even her earliest work is so terrific that you'll see why Susan King is a star on the rise.
