Romantic Scottish Highland story! Really enjoyed it because the hero wasn't TOO pushy and the heroine wasn't TOO wimpy or TOO pushy herself. 5 stars.

I absolutely love this book, but I finally got a hardcover edition & can now post my PB copy.

The "heroine" is outspoken & bold. The "hero" is strong & a bit controlling... but the story WORKS!! The "steamy" scenes aren't too much (IMHO) but keep the story going by helping to explain the relationship.

A KEEPER!!

another awesome read from Garwood - the undertones of humor are my favorite parts!

This book reminded me a bit of Garwood's The Wedding, but had a much more serious tone. The heroine had been brutally abused, both mentally/emotionally, and physically by her husband. And, the medeival church men told her that she was last in God's love, after dim-witted oxen. Its a terrible picture of the way that women were at one time viewed as chattel, incapable of making thier own decisions, and as lesser, just for being born female. As much as the love story was moving, the story beneath is also very intriguing.

Recommmended, but not as lighthearted as The Wedding.

This is one of the best books I've ever read by Julie Garwood. It gives me goosebumps every time I read it!! The only reason I'm parting with this one is because I just ordered the HC edition...it's a definite keeper!

This is one of my favorite Julie Garwood books. I have read this book over many times and would recommend this to anyone.

I read this book quiet a while back but I remember it was absolutely terrific. I'm sure anyone who enjoys a really good historical romance will appreciate it.

I like her books and this one is a great one to lose yourself in.

Julie Garwood's gloriously romantic, breathtakingly passionate novels have made her one of America's most beloved romance authors. Now she brings us the compelling story of a young Englishwoman determined to fight for her freedom...a woman whose life would be transformed by the rare, unexpected gift of love.

When Lady Johanna learned that she was a widow, she vowed she would never marry again. Only sixteen, already she possessed a strength of will that impressed all who looked past her golden-haired beauty. Yet when King John demanded that she remarry - and selected a bridegroom for her - it seemed she must acquiesce, until her beloved foster brother suggested she wed his friend, the handsome Scottish warrior Gabriel MacBain.

At first Johanna was shy, but as Gabriel tnederly revealed the splendid pleasures they would share, she came to suspect that she was falling in love with her gruff new husband. And it was soon apparent to the entire Highlands clan that their brusque, gallant laird had surrendered his heart completely. But now a desperate royal intrigue threatened to tear her from his side - and to destroy the man whose love meant more to her than she had ever dreamed!

GREAT I ENJOYED THIS BOOK

One of my favorites by Julie Garwood.

What a great story. Gabriel is Johanna's protector, boy does she need one and yes a sequel to this book is so needed to follow Johanna's brother and new wife love story! Anyways, I do so love how Gabriel shows his love to Johanna but doesn't say it, and I love how Johanna accepts Gabriel as he is. My favorite part of this book is at the end the speech Johanna gives to her ex-husband. I had to reread several times. You will love this story.
