In Ransom, New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood returns to her beloved Highlands and the dark days of the despotic rule of King John to reacquaint readers with Scottish chieftain Brodick Buchanan, first introduced in The Secret. Brodick finds himself playing protector to Gillian, an exquisite English beauty, who is desperate to find her long-lost sister and a treasure of incalculable worth--one for which many already have died, including Gillian's own father. Coerced by the fiendish Baron Alford, who murdered her father before her eyes and usurped her birthright 14 years earlier, Gillian must return to England with Arianna's Box, a bejeweled golden box commissioned by King John, or her beloved Uncle Morgan will be tortured to death. In spite of Gillian's fragile looks and her loathsome English bloodlines, Brodick encounters a woman of immeasurable courage and determination, one not at all intimidated by his legendary temper or imposing size. And as he realizes that he has met his match in Gillian--whose sense of honor and duty equals his own--their passion for each other grows ever stronger in this thrilling historical

I Love Julie Garwood!!! She has the most interesting characters, and the funniest circumstances. This is a historical novel in the days after the death of Richard the Lionheart. Gillian is the victim of Baron Alfred who slaughters her father, and destroys her family. Luckily she meets up with the handsome Laird Sinclair who thinks that she is perfect except for the fact that she is English. Fast paced and fun, everything a book should be.

So I love Julie Garwood. Her books are great, however this one is just good. I do feel that it lacked a bit of emotion between Brodick and Gillian. They don't meet until page 130! More info needed to be in there about Brigid and Ramsey, it would have made the ending have more of an impact! Anyways, it's still good and worth the read, just not as good as The Bride or Saving Grace! Just started reading Honor's Splendour.
