Commentary Supposing Books Le clan des MacLaren (Celtic Nights #1)
Dissimulée derrière un bosquet, Alainna MacLaren sort une flèche de son carquois. Le cerf s'est enfoncé dans le vallon, mais il ne tardera pas à en ressortir. Aujourd'hui, la chasse sera fructueuse ! Soudain, un groupe de cavaliers surgit sur la crête de la colline. Des Normands, à en juger par leurs capes doublées de fourrure et leurs armes, qui étincellent dans les rayons du couchant... Aucun Highlander ne pourrait s'offrir le luxe d'un tel équipement ! Le coeur d'Alainna s'emballe. Les Normands se risquent rarement dans ces lointaines contrées du nord de l'Écosse. Sans doute ont-ils été envoyés par le roi à Kinlochan. Et dans ce cas, l'avenir de la jeune femme et celui de son clan sont en suspens... L'un des chevaux pivote, découvrant le bouclier accroché à la selle : une flèche blanche sur fond d'azur. Ce blason, Alainna l'a vu en rêve, sur un mystérieux guerrier aux cheveux d'or. À présent, elle en est sûre cet homme est le messager du destin...Present Books Toward Le clan des MacLaren (Celtic Nights #1)

Loved it.The Stone Maiden is the first volume of the Maiden Trilogy by Susan King. However, it seems to me that each volume can be read separately, as the stories have no direct connection that requires reading the three to reach a broader concept. In fact, after scrutinizing the authors work I noticed she even links certain volumes of a collection, with another book she wrote separately, creating a new collection. If I made myself clear.Puns aside, I'll explain what I loved.In short,★★★ 1/2 First time reading anything by Susan King and I really enjoyed it. The story was intriguing, the characters very well fleshed out, and the writing style was strong and direct, with a hint of lyricism to it. My only complaint was the pacing which tended on the slow side and the lack of action for long stretches. But other than that, it's great to find a new author of Highlander books who also ends with a description of her research.
Loved this book. Not your typical romance novel or your highland romance either. The character were real, interesting and engaging. The plot was intriguing and unpredictable. The story, about a female highland leader trying to save her war devasted clan was a great read. Really liked this author, will read her again.
Rich with other small gems of Scottish lore intertwined, with the legend of the Stone Maiden, is a romance the stuff of fairytales. She first saw him in a dream and thought him a Faery Knight at twilight but he is not... he is instead her champion and her husband~to~be as decreed by King William of Scotland in answer to her petition for aid against her Clan MacLaren's enemy. She is the leader of a wee clan made out of old men and old women and she is the youngest and their laird. She is also the
This wasn't my favorite Highland Fiction but it was still good. I felt a lot of the conflict in the book could have been easily solved if the people involved had actually had a conversation. It seems like they did a lot of standing and watching each other from afar thinking things instead of going over and telling the person what they were thinking. It frustrated me many times but in all it was a good book. I really liked hearing the Legends and stories, and thought the author did a great job
My reason for abandoning this book after just a few pages The heroine notices a man approaching and greets him.Heroine:"Are you one of the fabled fey knights that have been known to roam this fair land?"Hero:"Ummm..no.The king sent me."*akward silence*Im paraphrasing of course.But while I may enjoy some quirks in my historical romance heroines personalities...hers just came out completely ridicilous.Sometimes a man is just a man .I could have understood if he did something magical to make her
Rarely do I offer up 5 stars. This historical Scottish romance time period is my favorite.Magic, history, romance and feuding is abundant in this tale.You will fall madly in love with all of the characters and feel like part of the family yourself.Very much worth the read."Honor is tender"
