Review: Twelfth Knight’s Bride by E. Elizabeth Watson

Synopsis

Lady Aileana Grant just wants to help her starving clan at Christmastide. So she pilfers some vegetables from the bastard Laird James MacDonald--the Devil, they call him. When the Devil shows up and demands marriage as recompense for the thievery, Aileana can’t believe it when her brother agrees. Even if she’s able to negotiate a severance on Twelfth Night, that’s still two weeks to put up with the laird in enemy territory. She’s counting down the days, even if James isn’t quite the disgusting cretin she’d imagined.

James needs to marry an enemy bride in order to inherit his fortune. Cursed restrictions. He’d been unable to look away from Aileana’s untamed beauty ever since she squared off with him. He might as well handfast with the infernal lass. He’d get his money and perhaps some peace among the clans. He has a fortnight to win the heart of the lady with the voice of an angel despite her sharp tongue.

Twelfth Night is merry and bright as Aileana and James realize a true connection between them. But when Aileana discovers the reason the Devil forced her into marriage, how can she ever believe he truly wants her?

Delicious Review

It's one of the best historical romance I have read this year. The story is so well-written, and both the main characters are brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone looking for good historical fiction to read.

Can two clans that are always fighting find peace? Lady Aileana Grant didn't know what to expect from the 'devil' of the clan MacDonald, but she surely didn't expect kindness. Or is it just some elaborate scheme James concocted to overpower her clan? She needs to know before it's too late.

James didn't expect to like Aileana. She isn't anything like the enemy he considers her to be. But can he keep his heart intact?

The two of them are forced to marry, but now, it's up to them to find a way and make this marriage work. Not only for themselves but also for their clans. There has already been too much loss on both sides, and the feud needs to end now.

A well-paced story that will keep you entertained throughout. I enjoyed every minute of it!

P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley. The review represents my honest opinion.
