HOW HAVE I NOT READ JULIE GARWOOD UNTIL NOW?!?! Seriously, I am a huge highlander romance fan and this book was everything. First, I loved how close Frances Catherine and Judith were. The first chapter where they met as children was so adorable and I loved their close bond. Because of that, Judith has to go to the highlands when Frances Catherine is pregnant to be by her side. However, during this time, the Scottish hate the English and they are not at all welcoming to them to come into their lands. I loved how Iain is laird but still went to escort Judith from England to Scotland because Frances Catherine is married to his brother. The moment they meet? FIREWORKS. Their relationship was just so perfect and I loved how they gave into their lust even though they were determined to hate each other. Judith has a fire about her and she's the perfect person to be with Iain.

While Iain is supposed to be this headstrong, stubborn highlander, he has a soft spot for Judith and I loved how he would do anything to protect her. This entire book had me swooning and I couldn't put it down. I am so excited to read even more from Julie Garwood and collect all of her books!

KLynn One of my favorites 😍 I like all of garwoods historicals, but her contemporaries for me fell flat.


Valkyrie ✨ I just watched your Mid Year Freakout Tag vlog and ajkhf you made me want to read this one, even tho I always worry about reading “the oldies� in case they haven’t “aged well�. But your vlog and review definitely intrigued me enough to give this one a try!


Bridget Vollmer Reading this now and am loving it! I admit I’m loving Brodick more and I’m excited to see he gets his own story in the next book.
