Synopsis


Is the wife the Highlander seeks

…already by his side?


Back from battle, Hamilton of Clan Graham makes a bet with his brother: to find a wife by summer’s end! The Scottish warrior enlists his childhood friend Beileag to help him woo the perfect woman. But, like he has, Beileag has changed whilst he’s been away—and she intrigues him as never before… His focus should be on winning a bride. So why is Beileag all he can think about?






My Review

For all those Mills & Boon fans out there , The Highlander's Unexpected Bride won't disappoint. As hamilton and Beileag embark on the road to love and all the trials and tribulations they encounter along the way, we get an historical insight into Clan Graham in the thirteenth century.

The different relationships and expectations we encounter on our journey through the book along with the different types of love, some seen and unseen, show how, though the word "love" is all encompassing , there are many different versions of it and we just have to recognise the different forms at the time and not assume that one is more important than the other.

As to be expected form this genre of book this is an easy read that leaves you with a warm glow and wishing Hamilton and Beileag all the best for the future.

The Delegate by Ali Carter   What a tangled web she weaved…   The Delegate by Ali Carter was  published on 29th November 2022 by Matador. My thanks to the author and publisher who sent me a copy and Random Book Tours for inviting me to take part on the tour.      Synopsis Charlotte… Having been sprung by Mafia family the Zandini’s on a day release the previous year, and managing to ‘despatch’ one of their enemies in New York (plus a few extras), ex killer G.P> Charlotte Peterson was now securely back inside Rampton high Security Hospital. However, her work was unfinished and a second escape quite out of the question. It was why she had the need of a delegate. A killer to complete a very important job…someone she’d control. Annie… She had found the perfect person in Annie. A woman who felt cheated. A woman who was mentally and emotionally scarred in exactly the same way Charlotte had been throughout her own life. Annie was fully ripe for manipulation in t...

 Tristan /Yseulte  by Harry Bonelle Tristan/ Yseult by Harry Bonelle  was published on 31st january 2024 by Unicorn. My thanks to the author and publisher for sending me a copy to review and to Random Things Tours  for inviting me to take part on the tour. Synopsis Tristan/Yseult is a narrative poem about the yearning for oneness in a world split into fragments. A duel on an empty island sets the course for one of the greatest romances ever told. As the lovers of legend meet, something new is born, and something eternal is revealed. Their names will forever be spoken as one. This modern retelling of Tristan and Yseult sheds a stark light on the beauty of the Celtic tale. “Harry Bonelle’s new version taps into the dark and furious energy of the old saga, surging and juddering with life. Bonelle’s actor’s training has encouraged him to liberate the performance piece that its original author must have intended. Thrilling on the page, but even more so spoken loud....

Synopsis My parents chose the Yorkshire Pennines – a tough place to pursue their dream of having their own farm.
