Faolan McKay was the spawn of recklessness. A child conceived by moonlight outside the bonds of wedlock. His mother was banished to the rocky shores of the Highlands where she committed an even greater sin than seducing the laird’s son—she survived. And raised her son to be everything everyone whispered about him. To be feared was better than any position or sword.

Cora Mackenzie has been promised since she was five. But her intended has never even penned her a single note. Cora takes to the moors, finding satisfaction in building strength and pitting herself against the elements. She discovers a thirst for succeeding where everyone says a girl shouldn't.

She had to be a siren.

Faolan wasn't one for tales by the firelight, but seeing the woman perched on the rocks of his island made him stop and stare. Battered by the wind and rain, she cared nothing for her hair or dress. Instead, she stood in the face of the elements, celebrating her survival. Aye, a mythical creature, one he should ignore but just can't seem to. Fate has locked them together, leaving him battling to resist the pull of his guest.

Whether or not she wants to know the man who saved her isn't up to her. A storm forces them to shelter together or die if they attempt to leave. She might not survive the encounter, but it's hardly the first time life has offered Cora no choice but to face what is placed before her.

So she'll stand firm and let fate guide her.

Male narrator! Oh he got me, great voices and a total feel for the story told . He made the accent thick so I had to listen and not stray as I sometimes do, which is a good thing then.-- "Books for Life" --This text refers to the audioCD edition.

4.5- STARS - GREAT AUTHOR!

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

I enjoy this author's writing style and this didn't disappoint. The action of the H is questionable and I thought at times he came across weak. He let other's opinions take root within the clan instead of taking action against those who caused dissension.

He did grow a pair as the story went along and my opinion of him raised and so did my rating. The h was strong and did her clan proud. I loved the H's sister and hope she gets a story with the h's brother.

There is action, many villains who most get there just due, except one women I didn't care she was not punished over her many attempts of getting someone hurt. We get suspense, twists, romance builds slowly, HEA, no cheating and no cliffhanger. Loved the ending because it had some surprises!

We have lovemaking, within marriage, heat level 4 out of 5. Because I did feel a connection to the couple at this point, it was filled with love and passion. (ljb)

After waiting years for Cormac Grant, her betrothed to claim her, Cora Mackenzie is restless and jumps at the chance to ride out with her brother’s men to deliver a message to Rolfe Munro. She is aware by doing so, her brother is letting her know that she is free to follow her heart rather than marry Cormac. Cora likes Rolfe, but he doesn’t inspire feelings anything deeper than friendship. She and the party are returning to Mackenzie land when a vicious storm breaks and Cora is washed away. She fights for her life and amazingly survives, but drenched and freezing, she won’t last long, so it is nothing short of miraculous that she sees a man standing just a few feet away.

Faolan McKay is stunned to see a beautiful woman cursing the sky, but he quickly realizes that she is not a mythical siren, but a flesh and blood woman in danger of freezing to death. He helps her to the tower and gets her out of her wet clothes, tucks her into bed and climbs in to share his heat. When she wakes, he is gone. She dresses and ventures out of the tower. She soon discovers that the tower is part the construction of a look out for the McKay clan. There are no women at the site and she rolls up her sleeves and cleans the kitchen and prepares a meal. She is intrigued by Faolan and feels the spark that she has been hoping for, she can see that he returns her regard, but he holds himself at bay and when a maid named Brynna shows up from the McKay Keep, Faolan immediately has her act as chaperone and takes Cora to the Keep.

Things at the McKay Keep are tense and Cora soon learns that Faolan is the half-brother of Malcolm, the laird of the McKays and that he used to court Malcolm’s wife Noreen – who happens to be the half-sister of her betrothed. Tensions escalate and Faolan and Cora end up married, but when Faolan fails to consummate the marriage, believing he will seek an annulment to free Cora, Malcolm gets involved and things turn deadly. Soon Faolan and Cora find themselves as Laird and Lady of the clan with the possibility of HEA within reach, but plots to destroy them abound and they will have to root out a traitor before they can even think about their future.

This was a very good, well written, fast-paced story with very likable characters. The book has action, betrayal, warm to steamyish love scenes, multiple villains, accusations of witchery, traitors, some amusing banter, great secondary characters, a very sweet, romantic declaration of love and finally a very, very, very hard won HEA. As much as I enjoyed this book, there were some things that left me baffled and some minor inconsistencies and typos, that didn’t ruin the book for me, but that did rob it of a five-star rating. This is the second book in the series, but it can easily be read as a standalone title with no problems. Overall, I did enjoy this book, I am happy to recommend it and I will definitely be looking forward to the next installment in the series.

4.5 STARS

Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020

I vacillated between 4 and 5 stars. Parts well worth 5 and obviously parts 4 stars. I rounded up because for the most part it was very engaging.

Parts I had problems with. 1. The H has 2 little nieces and he doesn't mention them until the 94% mark. The h was unaware there were two little girls. 2. The h is presumed dead and is missing for weeks and she doesn't think to send a messenger to her brother where she is? No mention of her concern he would be worried. 3. Physical harm comes to the h and no-one thinks to treat her? Finally the H mentions it at the end of the day when he is about to have her in the bath tub. No mention from the h that she was in pain either. What happened to her, she would have been in pain. So for all this - it was 4 stars review.

BUT, we have so many twists and unexpected suspense that made me round up to 5. There is a part near the beginning that involved the H's 1/2 brother and his wife. Thought for sure I knew where this story was heading and it upset me because would have made it a cookie cutter story. Alas, the author threw me a huge curve ball and I fell in love with the story again. We also have the H asking a nasty women villain a question. Her answer could tear out H/h apart. Another surprise twist because the author again, didn't follow the rules and made the story more entertaining.

There is lovemaking, within marriage - heat level 4.5 out of 5, described several times.

The story was unique and kept my interest. I liked the spirit and strength of the h and the loyalty of the H, they made a great couple. Romance builds slowly. The scene where the h is fighting for her life was heart pounding.

A lot of violence, more villains than you can shake a stick at. Murder, blood, fighting all raised my rating. I did want the H to discover more about his birth.

No cheating, no cliffhanger, don't have to read book 1 to enjoy this one, HEA, romance and steam. (ljb)

This is a new author for me and I look forward to reading more of her books!
This is about Rhedyn Lindsey and Laird Buchanan Mackenzies.
There is a place called the Sow’s Troth where the different clans could go to drink ale and spend time with a courtesans.
The trouble started when Iain Mackenzies had a different idea of what the place was.
Iain decided that he was going to go raiding and he decided to raid on the Munro lands. Rolfe Munro saw what was going on, he made them pay the price for their raid.
The Mackenzies thought that Colum Lindsey killed the Mackenzies so they came and took
Rhedyn Lindsey as a hostage.
Through out the days that Rhedyn
Lindsey was in the Mackenzies home Buchanan knew that some of his clan wanted to harm her.
He knew that he had to keep her safe.
This story needs to be read to find out what happens!!

Mary Wine is an author with a special gift, and this series proves it, Brilliant!

Faolan and Cora are wonderful together, they generate energy and passion in every page, wether it’s towards each other or for the clan.
We also meet some old and new characters, Cora’s brother Buchanan, Cormac Grant her Betrothed and a neighbouring Laird Rolfe Munro.

I adored this book which is full of adventure that’s addictive and very satisfying, if you in the market for a good read you need look no further.
Don’t miss out on this series.
Outstanding reading!
