5-Stars Review
A beautiful historical romance love about an English lady and a Scott Laird. Story line is very good and well executed. All characters are well-developed and will keep readers interested. I couldn't put it down once I started reading. It is full of humour and romance between two very unlikely people. Sybil has very low opinion about Scottish "barbarians", she did not expect that she will like let alone love one of them. Things weren't so different for Liam either. He was brought up with hatred for English "princesses" and never thought he would marry one of them. But they both were proved wrong. After getting to know each other, it was very hard for them to resist the attraction they felt.
When Liam invited Sybil to visit his home things didn't go their way. His mother was unable to overlook her hatred for English women. She treated her badly and made sure that Sybil knew exactly how unwelcome she was there. Sybil already had her doubts about accepting Liam's proposal and after his mother's behaviour it became even more clear that they were both not meant to be together...
I absolutely loved this book. I think it is a must read for all historical romance lovers. I can't wait to read more from this author.
