Book Reviews of The Pride Of Lions (Scotland, Bk 1)

I almost died when I got to the end of this book and realized it was a cliffhanger! I was so mad at the author because I wanted to read the rest of the story and had to wait three months for the continuation to come out!!! Thsi was a great read, nevertheless and I highlyt recommend it. (But you have to get "The Blood of Roses" or else you will scream when you get to the ending that really isn't an ending!)

This wasn't bad, an historical romance leading up to the Stuart uprising in 1746 Scotland. I must admit, throughout the book I found many similarities to Gone With the Wind (I have a feeling the author was a big fan of it, instead of the Civil War she has subsituted Culloden) Aside from constantly comparing her hero to Rhett Butler, and having her heroine wear pantalettes under her crinoline skirts (umm, that happened 100 years later) I enjoyed this book and her battle descriptions were vivid and riveting. Looking forward to the sequel.

Great book! Catherine Ashbrooke was used to having things her own way until the came up against Alexander Cameron then the sparks flew!

Story of the turbulence and romance of Scotland's quest for freedom in a saga of two born enemies whose lives and destinies are irrevocable bound to the fate of an empire

They were torn between pride and passion. . .

It was a boastful wager, a bold flirtation meant to win a proposal from the most eligible officer in His Majesty's Royal Dragoons. How was the spoiled and pampered Catherine Augustine Ashbrooke to know the handsome stranger with the brooding midnight eyes would see through her plot and make her the pawn in a dangerous game of his own?

United by a reckless game of chance. . .

Alexander Cameron may have won the highborn English beauty in a duel, but not even the lure of long-forgotten desires could keep him from his meeting with destiny. He had no choice but to carry his reluctant bride off to the Highlands, to a world of ancient blood feuds and a brewing rebellion--a world where fiery passion and breathtaking courage would prove that even legendary warriors could lose their hearts.
