Product Description

Synopsis

When a Scottish rebel avenges the capture of his brother by the English by kidnapping the daughter of the lord he blames, the country becomes divided, and the rebel must save his brother while resisting his fiery prisoner, who has already captured his heart. Original.


From the Author

Loved Braveheart? In The Scotsman, the hero survives.
Are you one of those who loved Braveheart and wept at the cruel ending? It was true, and history should always be reported correctly. Already a lover of Scottish history, and with one book about Scotland's fight for independence already published, I wanted to try it again. Writing The Scotsman was both emotional and cathartic for me. I had to relive those times while writing and researching, and do my best to convey what it must have been like to my readers. I hope I succeeded. I hope that, like me, you will stand upon a Bannockburn hill, with Stirling Castle rising in the distance, and understand at last the raw courage and fierce national pride the Scots who fought and died with Robert Bruce felt...and I also hope that you will understand there were two sides in that war, with the Englishmen who fought under King Edward believing just as much in their own cause.

5.0 out of 5 stars This was the best romance novel I have ever read., 20 Aug 1999
By A Customer
I was incredibly impressed with the entire novel. This is the only one I have read where the plot was feasible, the end was feasible, accents were not over- or under-done, the writing was skilled (neither sleazy nor vague), and the characters had actual depth. The story begins to build from the start and does not become disappointing or repetitive. Catherine is the perfect character of the age- she is a young Englishwoman trapped in a position of royalty she does not want to accept. To everyone around her- her father, her brothers, and even her mother- she is just a bone to be fought over. When the Scottish Alex Fraser comes along and kidnaps her in an attempt to win back hostages from her father, the love story that unfolds between the two of them is amazing. Of course, both must deal with the conflicting interests in their lives- Alex must show his people that Catherine is not bad simply because she is English; Catherine must learn that lessons she has been taught her whole life are wrong. All I can think of to say is you have to read it for yourself. You won't be sorry you took the time.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most magnificent medieval romance I have ever read!!!, 31 Mar 1999
By A Customer
I have been reading medieval romances for as long as I can remember, which means I have read everyone from Roberta Gellis on up, and I have to say that Juliana Garnett is the best of them all. The Scotsman is the breathtaking story of a savage clansman and the beautiful woman he takes as his hostage. The story starts when a Scottish rebel, to avenge the capture of his brother by the English, kidnaps the ravishing daughter of the man he holds responsible. But the country is bitterly divided, and our hero faces not one but two fights--to save his brother and also to resist his fierce attraction to his passionate hostage. Lyrical writing, deep characterization, a truly ingenious plot, a hero to die for, and some of the most sensuous love scenes I have ever read make this a keeper! I will read all of Juliana Garnett's previous books, not to mention all of her future ones. Where has this writer been all my life??? Romance readers, you are in for a rare treat!
