I adore how Ms. Basso brings this masterfully written story full circle to provide readers with mystery, suspense, passion and love. A must read Medieval Scottish Romance! I can’t wait to read more of “The McKennas”. Ms. Basso provided me with a few hours of escape from realism to the world of Highlanders, clans, and the lasses who loves them. I read it in one setting. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading! Strongly recommended! I received a complimentary copy. Rating: 4.5 Heat rating: Mild to a bit steamy Reviewed by: AprilR

The reader is swept back to the Highlands with Malcolm and his little lass and the circumstances in which he is married to Joan. Thoroughly enjoyed the children and mischief along with the description of highland life in the 1300s. Definitely a page turner you will want to settle in and enjoy. Ebook from Netgalley and publishers with thanks. Opinions are entirely my own.

Finally a romance novel that wasn't all about sex and the bedroom. It had more story and plot and struggles then some of the other romantic books I've been reading.
