CIRCLE OF HONOR WINNER OF THE 2001 GOLDEN HEART AWARD (Romance writers of America)
A RIVETING STORY OF BETRAYAL AND LOVE ON THE HIGHLANDS OF MEDIEVAL SCOTLAND
It is fourteenth-century Scotland, and Gwenyth Comyn has a choice to make: Does she falsely accuse her sworn enemy, Adam Mackintosh, of assaulting her, or does she tell the truth and remain in captivity to her actual attacker? Though telling the truth would ensure bondage for herself, accusing Adam would unjustly dishonor him-and likely secure his death. Gwenyth's decision is complicated by her strong feelings of attraction toward the kindhearted and chivalrous Adam.
Circle of Honor takes you back to the time of Scotland's war for independence from England. When Robert the Bruce destroyed her family and her home. Gwenyth fled for her life, only to be captured and stripped of her titles and lands. Then a brutal assault by her captor leaves her wondering, Where was God when she needed Him? Does He care about her and her problems? As she struggles to hold on to her faith in God, Gwenyth must confront the battle between her desire for revenge and her growing love for Adam. Her fate, and Adam's rest in the choice set before her
I really enjoyed this book! Its set in the 1300's Scotland and is a Scottish romance but with a Christian overtone. But what's different is that the religious theme is not "in your face"....its totally in keeping with the belief's of the time, and is not an overpowering theme in the book. Other than that - I can't wait to read more by this author and definitely in this series!
I really enjoyed this book. The main character is very likable and easy to relate too. The love interest was really adorable. After a few weeks away from the gym, it made me want to go back and work out!
