DESCRIPTION:
Highland Romance Par Excellence Reading Fanatic I absolutely adored this book! I just finished reading it for the umpteenth time. My original hardcopy has a permanent place on my keeper shelf, but I was really happy when I discovered it had been reproduced in Kindle format. I was lucky enough to borrow a copy from my county's digital library, but I love the book so much I may have to get my own Kindle copy. In any event, this book is so extremely well writ. The Secret wasn't such a secret after all. Stacey is Sassy (Stacey B-Reviews) An audio review.I loved The Secret and after listening to it for the first time and re-reading it for the 20 billionth time, I think I love it more.Judith is a strong and feisty English woman whose best friend is a Scot. When she's asked to attend her friends birthing of her first child, she does not hesitate to pack her bags.Ian is Laird and as a favour to his brother offers to collect the English woman.

Today, twenty years later……not so much.The author does write beautifully, but with very little attention to the how people of the day would

From Publishers Weekly Ever since they met as children at the annual summer festival on the border of their two countries, Judith Hampton of England has been fast friends with Frances Catherine Kirkaldy of Scotland. Equally confusing is Frances Catherine's claim that after years with the Maitlands, she is still an outsider. That Garwood ( Guardian Angel ) can argue this point and still deliver a delightful tale is an accomplishment. But Judith determinedly forges friendships and reexerts her charms over Iain, leading to a lively, unconventional wedding. Despite the enmity between the two lands in this period (the late 12th century), Judith is determined to attend the birth of Frances Catherine's first child

Nothing prepared her, however, for the sight of the Scottish barbarian who was to escort her into his landIain Maitland, laird of his clan, a man more powerfully compelling than any she had ever encountered. New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood captures the Highland splendor of medieval Scotland in this breathtaking love story. In a spirited clash of wills and customs, Judith reveled in the melting bliss of Iain's searching kisses, his passionate caresses. Surely nothing would wrench her from the affection and trust of Iain and his clannot even the truth about her father, a devastating secret that could shatter the boldest alliance, and the most glorious of loves!. Judith Hampton was as beautiful as she was proud and loyal. But there was another reason for the journey from her bleak English home to the Highlands: to meet the father she had never known, the Laird Maclean. Perplexed by her sprightly defiance, bemused
