"Deborah writes as if she's been in Medieval Scotland and can somehow, magically, take you back there with her to stand amidst the heather and mist of another time. This is breathtakingly beautiful, award-calibre writing." New York Times bestselling author Lynsay Sands"

This IS historical romance. If any among us need a poster child

Format:Mass Market Paperback
The year 1296 sees Julian Challon eager for peace after fighting the bloody wars for England's king. The black dragon knight wants nothing more than a home, a wife, children. He arrives in Scotland weary of battle, weary of Longshanks demands. Yet, he's determined to claim the lands held by the McShane sisters - lands awarded to him for service to the crown. He wants to raise strong sons and forget the haunting memories of past sufferings. He doesn't expect to meet a fiery Scottish lass who threatens his sanity. He doesn't expect to find love.
For the spirited Tamlyn, Countess of Glenrogha, the black knight's coming was foretold, her second-sight sees this, but she's caught off guard by the knight's commanding presence and her world spins off its axis. She doesn't want to surrender her home or herself to him, but their mutual desire is beyond controlling.
Their love grows and matures amidst upheaval. However, in each other they find a peace and contentment that only the other can give.

This debut medieval novel by author DeborahAnne MacGillivray is a delight to read. I was capitvated from the first page. The author's talent weaves a believable story with engaging characters and an intriguing plot that keeps the reader wanting more. MacGillivray has a wonderful grasp of medieval Scotland, easily transporting the reader into the era. I enjoyed the author's subtle switch between humour and drama. The main characters were well supported by stand-out secondary characters, (including an appearance from William Wallace), who all deserve books of their own!
I highly recommend this book to all those who enjoy great writing and wonderful storytelling.

It was a bit boring. Nothing about the story caught my imagination.
I was on holiday when I started reading this book but it was the same old "scottish highlander/english" story. I got about 100 pages in and stop reading - left the book in Lanzarote for someone else to try and read.

The book was, in a word, Dire. I haven't read so much drivel in my life, and in fact after the first 100 pages i had to give up. I read alot and of different genres from sci-fantasy to crime, to romance. But this just gives romance writers a bad name. My sister bought it for me as there were all these "great" reviews. Can i be the voice of reason and say give it a miss, Seriously. There has to be a reason why it's selling for pennies.Take the hint dear readers....

Utter garbage
Absolute, hackneyed clichéd tripe of the highest order. Avoid.
I wonder how long this review will stay up, huh Deborah?
