Mairin Stuart was quite the entertaining
heroine. She is fiercely protective and staunchly loyal to her new
family and clan. She has an uncanny way of winning over those who look
on her with suspicion, and don’t think much of women in general. She is
a champion for those smaller and weaker, and who otherwise would not
have a voice. I loved her for Ewan, because though she infuriated him
often, she seemed to bring out and enhance the best in him.
Ewan was a lovely hero. Dedicated to
his clan and family, Ewan goes to great lengths to get and keep all that
he deems belongs to him. He’s a great leader and Laird, and boy is his
fury appealing when his enemy crosses him and threatens his wife.
The story of these two getting to know
one another was charming. Mairin just wants to fit it and have something
to call her own, while Ewan just wants to hold onto his sanity trying
to adjust to his new wife and her antics. The story of them adjusting
and working towards a mutual understanding is captivating and sweet.
There is also a bit of action towards the end of the book which gives
the reader some excitement.
