Publisher's summary

Adair Radcliffe is only a child when her family perishes in the War of the Roses, so her real father, the womanizing King Edward IV, takes her in, honoring his promise to her mother. Once Adair turns 16, the king marries her off without her knowledge - and to her later outrage - in a wedding by proxy. But when tragedy leaves her a widow twice over, Adair realizes that her already tenuous social position has sunk even lower. Now, all she can do is hope that the Scottish laird to whom she is sold will have mercy on her. But little does master or servant suspect that love knows no rank.

Contains mature themes.

Heart stirring

This story was so emotional with sadness that made me cry! But I loved that the writer had the main character as a strong woman unlike some writers make them weak & stupid.

Full storyline with good characters.

This book was like reading a few books all into 1. The lead female is refreshing she is very smart and confident and delightful the whole story. The book was interesting and there as always something happening and the story was constantly progressing. In the passion department, it takes a while to get there but you are rewarded when it finally does. The steamy scenes fit the story well and are appropriate for this type of story. (I have read better ones with more foreplay but in another genre). The writer is excellent in my opinion as the story has an abundance of great characters, plots, romance, tragedy (but doesn't linger too long).
I recommend this book.
The narrator was good. She did a great job and was consistent. I listened to it at 1.2x speed and it worked out well for me.

Good story

This is probably my favorite of the border ladies series. The overall story is good, but her history is flawed. Richard of Gloucester was a tyrant who did away with his nephews to seize power. His hatred of the Woodvilles was his driving force. Her glorification of him is, well, misguided. That being said, I love Adair. Ballsy, brave, smart lady. Overall, a good romance that takes artistic licence with the history.

THOROUGHLY ENJOYED

Liked the realism of the treachery the royalty inflicted on each other & their subjects, didn’t like what they did during the struggles for power. But this book was able to work some beautiful love stories during using history as the backdrop.

I want a boarder Scotsman

I enjoyed the book and the narration. I thought the first couple of chapters were a bit confusing with all the different historical characters. I do know who they are, being I’m a history buff, but thought it was unnecessary. Loved the middle and end with the Scotsman!

Long but good story

I love that the back ground was so well thought out. We really got a excellent idea of the main character. It’s so much information but all of it useful and historically accurate for the main rulers. It was so a good love story!

Incredible story!

Incredible story! There’s nothing more enjoyable than good writing. I stumbled on this writer quite by accident, Small is a incredible storyteller. Good plot and characters you want to be or be in love with.
