3.0 out of 5 stars starts off great, then fizzles 14 Oct 2002
By Deborah MacGillivray HALL OF FAME VINE™ VOICE
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I have read several of Donna Fletcher's works in the Irish Eyes Series and loves loved The Irish Devil was bored by Irish Hope. This one falls somewhere between...
The writing was repetitive, a bad flaw, sometimes I got really annoyed at the smugness of the lead female. She keeps making allusions to them doing work and secret learns, but sort of just lets this pass. I hard problem with him being younger, sorry younger men are boys to me(lol). It starts off with a bang, and really great premise, but it just sort of lost steam. I felt like a horse being lead in circles.

It is an oKay read, just rather disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A love that survives deception 3 Mar 2002
By DiAnn Fields - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Setting - Scotland 1513. Moira Maclean has spent 17 years in a convent her father took her to at the young age of 12 years old. Moira has adjusted well to convent life and has learned to be strong and independence. She, however, does not know about love.

Ian Cameron, laird of the clan Cameron of Glencoe, is a warrior and proud leader of his people. Moira's father battles Ian and his clan and sees Ian as his mortal enemy.

Ian goes to the convent and tells Moira that her father has died - she must marry him to end further fighting between the clans. They are immediately wed and their marriage is consummated quickly(not with much skill or pleasure for either). Immediately after, Moira's father arrives at the convent very alive and furious that Moira has wed his most hated enemy.

Moira's father tells Ian to leave his daughter at the convent - she is too old and barren to satisfy her young husband's needs(Ian is 25 years old). Ian reluctantly agrees and leaves, but two months later comes back for Moira and she has a surprise for him....she is pregnant!

With a troubled beginning to their marriage, Ian and Moira struggle to make their marriage work. There are several obstacles; someone is trying to kill Moira, Ian wants a real marriage while the naive Moira doesn't understand all that he wants, and problems with facing her father again.

Ian and Moira's relationship is wonderful in this story. Moira is a multi-layered heroine who is strong and has knowledge about numbers, agriculture, etc. that help manage their lives. She is a vital part of the success of their relationship and proves that intelligence is just as exciting as outer beauty. Ian, though feeling guilty of how their marriage started, cares and loves Moira as his wife and his partner. The exchanges between Ian and Moira are fun to read and challenging to both parties. There are interesting secondary characters, Anne and Blair, and Ian's sister Brianna which compliment the entire book.

If you have read Donna Fletcher's Irish Eyes books - The Irish Devil and Irish Hope, you will love this book! Don't miss it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but sometimes annoying 4 July 2002
By Julia - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Donna Fletcher is one of my favorite authors, so I bought the book right away. Isle of Lies is a fairly good book, but... it annoyed me a little that Moira is five years older than the hero. She is 29 and throughout the book is referred to as "old, barren". I know she is considered old for medieval times, but still. Furthermore, she is fainting all the time. Once is enough, thank you. The story in itself was okay, but nothing special or original. I expected something more.

4.0 out of 5 stars Steamy 5 Jun 2002
By Sandra L. von Pier - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This is the first book by Donna Fletcher that I've read but I will definitely read more. She's got quite a talent. I enjoyed the book from the beginning to the end. Ian's deceit and Moira's trust....lovely.
