I would like to thank netgalley and Plato Publishing for a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Interesting mix of history, fantasy, and romance.

Gideon soon discovers there more to the world than black and white especially after he reaches Scotland and see the transformation in his Mother’s health and attitude. At seventeen Alisabeth was betrothed from the cradle and married her childhood friend. Now she’s a young attractive widow trying to find her place in the Highlands. When she first see Gideon she soon realizes what real desire and lust is all about. Gideon finds out he has a special talent he inherited from his ancestors and his whole world is turned upside down by the new widow who he vows to keep her safe as she becomes in the political turmoil that killer her husband. A captivating book with action, adventure and romance with a little bit of their special gifts thrown into the mix. This is my honest opinions after I voluntarily read a copy of this book that was provided to me with no requirements for a review.

This book was not great but i gave it four stars for the explanations and the real history of the times the author put in the back of the book. I always appreciate it when the author takes the time to do this. It's not only educational but helps put the characters and what happens in the book into some perspective. I would recommend this book to adults. I found the romance sweet. I liked the hero and the heroine. Both were good characters and of course the background characters were interesting. There is also a free download from the author to explain some events of the past which i will not spoil for readers. Overall, good book. I liked the history lesson at the back.

I was given an ARC through netgalley from the publisher and i appreciate it and the opinions are my own.
