Summary: Secrets, Revenge, and Scotland
Review: I picked up this book because I love the Scottish historicals. I really loved this story. I liked Mairi because she was strong and independant, but also soft. I LOVED Rob!!!! He was so sensitive and sweet. I couldn't put the book down. I liked the conflict between Mairi and Thomas, it was just so funny to see them competeing for Rob's affection and attention. And the best was the way Mairi always stood up for Rob and never backed down on anything. Overall, Mairi was a person I could be friends with, adn Rob was definitely the kind of guy I could fall in love with.

Summary: Silent hero, talkative woman
Review: I'm not usually fond of the "misunderstanding" plot line - you know the kind, where there is some type of misunderstanding in the first chapter of the book. The couple then spends the next 8 chapters not explaining what really happened. They finally explain in Chapter 9 and everyone is happy by Chapter 10. The misunderstanding in this book is a little more complex. The hero is deaf and her father fails to mention that to her. Immediately on the heals of the wedding, they are forced to flea her father's home because an angry, jealous cousin attacks the keep. When Robert realizes Mairi doesn't know he's deaf, it's already too late. He wants the marriage to work, but his honor won't let her make the final commitment to him (consumation) until she knows the truth. But he wants to wait until he's home to tell her the truh. He is equally afraid of her pity and her scorn. He feels that by showing her how he has kept his keep and has the respect of his people will prove to her that he will be a good provider. Without the marriage consummated, she can still back out of the marriage contract. His honor demands nothing less. This story line worked because Robert had very real reasons for keeping his secret. He wanted her told. In fact, it was a stipulation to the marriage contract in the first place. That the misunderstanding occured was not his fault and it was something he wanted to rectify very badly. I liked how the author dealt with a deaf hero. Especially a deaf hero in an unusual time period - Medieval Scotland. She mention a few of the signs he learned and created over the years. She even mentions how he managed to survive without his hearing and became a knight. I liked how his honor was important to him. I liked how Mairi took the news, dealt with it in a clear headed fashion. She was a strong heroine, full of courage and passion. This was a very good book - I highly recommend.

Summary: A great book
Review: This is the first time in years that I've read a Harlequin romance novel. Boy have thing changed. I remember them being very typical with no sex. This novel not only had a great story but was also steamy. Reading this book makes me want to rethink my notion that Harlequin books are too childish. This book was better than some of the regular romance novels where the sex was tbe only thing they had going for them.
