Search - The Chase

Tall, warrior heroine. But she's not too much for her intended. She leads him on a merry (or not) chase only to find out she rather likes him. Good book with nice humor.

After ignoring his betrothed for more than a decade, Lord Blake Sherwell has finally been coerced by the English king into claiming his bride, the hoydenish Seonaid Dunbar. He reluctantly arrives at her father's Scottish keep only to discover his intended is equally averse to the match and has fled to a convent. Scotland in 1395 is no place for a woman alone, so he grimly sets out to retrieve his errant wife to be, and the rollicking adventure begins. This matched set of warriors--Seonaid has trained since infancy with her father and brother and indeed has her own specially wrought sword--entertains her father's men as well as Sherwell's entourage with their antics, for now Sherwell's interest has been piqued, and he takes up the chase in earnest. Well-placed humor, vividly descriptive passages, and a believable romance between two stubborn but honorable protagonists, together with the added interest generated by the escapades of a host of secondary characters, make Sands' historical romance appealing on many levels.

3rd in series. Humorous historical romance.

1: "The Deed" & 2: "The Key"
Books are connected by relatives - so could stand alone without confusion; but book 1 & 2 are not to be missed. Hilarious!!

Yet another hit by Lynsay Sands! I have arrived at the conclusion I am just going to have to clear a shelf on the bookcase and order every book she's written, because I haven't been disappointed by one yet.

I loved the interaction between the characters, and how Seonaid is her own woman, and Blake learns to love her for it.

fun book, easy read with a beautiful lonely lady and the man who tames her

Fantastic book. I really enjoyed it.
