5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down! 16 May 2003
By "beep_me"
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I really liked this book. I had previously read "White Magic" loved it, so i took a chance and bought this book and i'm glad i did. Ms. Reding's books are lighthearted, funny and seriously romantic. I was a bit hesitant over the whole Scotish saga - guys in kilts thing, but it was really sweet. Her stoties are set in the past and her heroines are pillars of virtue and are intelligent - not the type who are prone to fatigue and faint at odd moments. The story is about a mythical stone which is given to Isabella to return to its' rightful owner. As she sets about on her journey, she is kidnapped by the hero's family of pirates and the hero falls madly in love with her, but he is Scottish and her family is of noble, English birth. It has layers without being overdramatic and Ms Reding keeps the story light hearted throughout - making it the type of book you want to curl up and read at night.

This is my first book by the author and not the last! I was pulled in by the characters from the first page. Isabella and Calum are the perfect dream couple. Bring on the rest in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Adventure and an unforgettable Adventurer 10 Jan 2003
By PJ - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book grabbed me from page 1. Isabella is in France and meets a mysterious comte who gives her an ancient Scottish clan charm stone, telling her she must return it to the rightful clan. As she sets out to return to her home in England, her ship is waylaid and the Scottish "pirates" recognize the ancient stone. They take Isabella, along with other booty, to the legendary "Adventurer" -- Calum Mackay of Wrath.

Calum wasn't looking for any captives. He's in hiding from the British governement, his calling is to liberate the Scottish Jacobite prisoners who are being exiled to the Colonies as indentured servants. So when the daughter of an English duke is suddenly dumped in his lap, he is less than pleased to see her. The only thing that prevents him from setting her adrift to find her way home is the stone she has hanging from her neck. It is his clan's ancient legacy. It was stolen when his father was killed three decades before. So what is this Sassenach duke's daughter doing with it?

The tale, and the romance that develops between Isabella and Calum makes for entertaining and gripping reading. My only complaint is I didn't want it to end! This author never fails to write clean, lyrical prose with a true sense of setting. Having been there myself, I can say her knowledge of the Scottish Highlands is without question. You will be transported to the mist and the heather on every page.
I can't wait for the next story in this series.

I also highly recommend the first book in this series of novels, THE PRETENDER. It tells the story of Isabella's older sister and another Highland Hero.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written, wonderful love story 13 Dec 2002
By H Rogers - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was my first book by this author, but it certainly won't be the last. I was pulled in from page one and the story never let go. So many times romance novels feature heroines who are hard and demanding and immature, but in this book, Isabella kept a cool head despite dangerous circumstances and the love story that emerged between her and Calum Mackay was truly lovely. The passages truly take the reader to the Scottish Highlands. I am ordering the first book in the series, THE PRETENDER, right now...and I can't wait for the rest of the books in this series.
