Chronicle As Books Border Wedding (Border Trilogy II #1)
Captured in 1388 in the act of stealing back his own cattle, young Sir William Scott faces hanging, then gets one other choice--to marry immediately his captor's eldest daughter, the lady Margaret Murray, known by all as Muckle-Mouth Meggie. With the line between England and Scotland shifting daily, the Earl of Douglas wants to win back every inch of Scotland that the English have claimed; whereas the equally powerful English Percies (under Hotspur) want to win back the land between Northumberland and Edinburgh; and the Murray family is caught in the middle, shifting its alliances to try to survive. Uncertain whether she is English or Scottish and abruptly married to Sir William who is staunchly loyal to the cause of Scottish independence but who also has promised he'll never take up arms against her family, Meg Murray learns two things: first, Will's word is his bond; second, her favorite brother is spying on Douglas for Hotspur. As Sir Will faces the dilemma of honoring his word to the unscrupulous Murray without betraying Douglas, Meg must choose between betraying the husband with whom she is rapidly falling in love, or betraying her own family and best-loved brother.Itemize Epithetical Books Border Wedding (Border Trilogy II #1)

While the historical details are believable, the author's lack of interest in writing an orgasmic experience for the female heroine is off putting. If you're reading this because you enjoy stories where a woman is made the focus of a man's affection and thus she finds her release, speed read. The male gets his cookies off every time! But our poor, ugly duckling turned beautiful swan gets NOTHING! He fantasizes about pleasing her but at the end of the story does nothing. A little too muchthis was touted as a romance but i think it falls more in line with straight up historical fiction w/a bit of romance on the side. while the facts of Scotland's political rumblings in the 1300's (and beyond) are wholly fascinating for this genealogist, i still wish the author had accomplished more "show" and less "tell" on the history side of it to make the plot more engaging. overall, historically speaking and for the events of the time, her research shines.Amanda Scott is an accomplished
As other reviews stated this is more historical fiction with a lot lot lot of Highland history. The romance is minimal and there is a disturbing part dealing with abuse.The main character Meg is plain and the eldest daughter of a Boorish Scot and clever mother. Through plotting they take advantage of a situation involving the eldest son of a neighboring clan. He is give a choice - punishment or Meg.Meg is quiet, determined, independent and loyal to her husband as he helps protect Scotland from
I didn't read this, but Goodreads doesn't allow me to stick this on my "avoid reading" shelf without choosing a "want to read" or "read" shelf. A friend says this contains incestuous rape. No, thanks.
There was nothing truly remarkable about this book. I was confused for most of the book honestly
Wow.... that was a decidedly terrible book.The first proof that something was wrong came when I discovered that the main character's name was different on the dust jacket than in the book itself. I'm not going to blame the author for that one though, as it's probably more likely to be the fault of her editor/publisher than of herself.I started this book almost 3 months ago. It's not a long book - just under 400 pages in fact - but just utterly uninteresting. I liked it well enough while reading
This was a pretty simple and straight forward romance. What I think Scott did best in this book was portray a young man not ready for marriage and forced into one who finds that having someone around with a warm, soft body isn't so bad. Walter, our young hero, felt his age (25), not a 25 year-old who thinks and acts like a 40 year-old. There wasn't a lot of graphic sex and the romance between the hero and heroine was sweetly done.
