Angus MacDonald, Lord of the Isles is a staunch supporter of Robert the Bruce. He’s invited him to stay at his castle and escorts him under a flag of truce to see Ulster his wife’s English father to garner support to rescue her. They are attacked under the flag of parley and barely escape with their lives.
Anya Chathai finds herself outside castle when the fighting starts and she hides in a boat only to find herself in the enemies’ hands. She quickly realizes she’s landed into the hands of Angus MacDonald better known to his enemies’ as “Fairhair the Terrible”, the brother of Alastair MacDonald the who killed her father making her an orphan and Ulster's ward. A captivating story of two enemies who are attracted to another, drawn against their will and try to fight it all the way. I love their witty banter as they Anya is held captive at Angus’s home. She starts to see Angus as an honorable Scot who lives by his principles, who loves his Clan and his country. Angus knows he can’t fall for his enemy, there at war and no good came come of it, it’s better to let her go while his heart is still intact. Will he realize love is worth fighting for? Can he rescue her from the clutches of her guardian before it’s too late and she’s married to another? I have voluntarily read and reviewed the excellent story filled with Scottish history where two enemies’ who against all odds fall in love.

Taking place during the Wars of Scottish Independence, Amy Jarecki pens another fascinating story that will have you hooked from start to end. Not only are the English and Scottish at war, battles are also happening between the clans and between the Scottish and the Irish, all in the name of ruling over more lands! This is Angus and Anya's story and with him being Scot and her being Irish, be prepared for sparks to fly!!

I loved this story, so well written and researched. I've always enjoyed reading about Robert the Bruce and his time in history. I also love it when an author mixes real history with their imagination, it makes for quite a story:) Angus has something to prove to the Bruce and will do battle with all his might to show that he and his army are needed. As for Anya, finding herself a prisoner with Angus as her jailer, she proves her mettle and although they fight the attraction between them, with a few twists and turns, they finally have their HEA.

I received an ARC of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Loved it! The story of a lord drom Scotland falling love with his enemies daughter.

Really enjoyable, a great quick read. Well written and well researched.

My only negative, which is probably just a me thing, I struggle when accents are written out. Especially in this case, because it was really only Angus that was written that way.

*Thank you to the publisher for this eARC.
