Connor MacPherson kidnaps & weds Sophie, not realising she is the wrong sister until it's too late. He was resigned to marriage and expected little beyond companionship, now however, he is wed to a girl who was practically a nun and her sweet nature winds magic around his heart and his people.
This is a delightful Scottish tale - buy it you won't regret it.

Discover a great new author!

It's always a gamble trying a new or unfamiliar author, but I'm delighted to predict that Sara Gabriel won't be unfamiliar to romance readers for long. STEALING SOPHIE takes the favorite story of a stolen bride and makes it special, with a great hero and heroine and plenty of plot twists to keep things moving. Yet despite the fast pace and action, the author still manages to give us a vivid glimpse of the Scottish highlands. Brava, Miss Gabriel -- I'm ready for more!

A struggle to finish...

I Love Highland Romances! Julie Garwood, Sue Ellen Welfonder, Karen Marie Moning, ect. And I can appreciate all of the different tones or writing styles authors have without giving the book a bad review. I hate to say it, because I always get "flogged" on the voting button when I give a negative review, but this book was difficult to finish. It starts out interesting enough with Sophie's abduction, we really start to care about the characters, and then they get back to his "Castle in Ruin." (Because his home has been taken by an enemy). This is where it starts to fizzle. I liked this hero well enough, but fierce Highlander he's not, which is okay, just a little boring. Our hero basically acts as a patrol, thwarting the efforts of the English building roads through Scotland. Running and hiding when these soldiers spot him, he comes off more as a prankster, than a force to be reckoned with. And the scale of the "Drama" is minimal. The climax reads as a minor "scuffle." As for our heroine, I really liked her, but her character fell flat for me after we're told of her special "fairy" blood that gives her special powers, which she's not even sure of. Apparently, these "powers" differ between each person in her family, and all our heroine can do is encourage growth in plants and vegetables, even where land is virtually barren and without hope... Yes, that's it. It's not even like one day there are just rocks and the next we have a bloom filled garden, no, they're all amazed by a little bit of sprouting. Why bother, I kept waiting for something more, and it never comes. Till the end even the hero's not sure if he's a believer of her "Gift." (Possible spoiler?) At one point the hero talks to her about it (yes, they only talk of her abilities once) and he tells her that maybe her gift prevails itself where she directs her love, that maybe because of her love of gardening, her powers are shown to her. So, then you think, "Okay, when he needs her she'll be able to heal him, or whatever, because she loves him..." Yea, well, that never happens either. Like I said, this was boring and difficult to finish. I really hate to give negative reviews, but I also hope that by reading my review your able to say a.) These things wouldn't bother me; I'll give it a go. Or b.) Thank goodness, I can save my $6, and my time.

This is what I have to call a great find! STEALING SOPHIE is a fun read, and just a pleasure from start to finish. Connor MacPherson kidnaps the wrong bride, and gets Sophie MacCarren, fresh from a convent, a sweet but feisty lass who refuses to give in easily when the handsome brigand steals her from her escort by mistake. She stands up to him, and he growls at her, and it was just fun to read. I loved it. The dialogue sparkles, the chemistry is great, sexy, fast moving and never predictable.
Sarah Gabriel combines classic historical romance elements with a dash of humor, a litte magic, a sexy hero who plays fiddle and isn't really the bad guy he wants people to think he is, and a charming heroine who has a little secret that has to do with her clan's legends. The humor in this was a nice surprise. I don't usually leave reviews, so you know I'm excited about this one. I bought it for the interesting story, the beautiful cover, and because I love Scottish hstoricals, and I was pleasantly surprised to find something outstanding. Brava, Ms. Gabriel, I will definitely be looking for your next book!
