Time of the Dula Kaena: The Second Book of the Shards of Heaven. There is a river running through here. Looking over the river is a pile of trash that will contain the vessel. Seems to show the terrain of the Gatelands. Just north of the camp is a bridge. On the West side of the bridge, just a dozen feet away, is a trash pile containing the cup.
Get A Copy
Shows a curious flying machine. Near the Bandit Camp in Devil's Thirst. Follow the road South out of the camp to find the cup among some trash. This is located on the western edge of Devil's Grief. You can find it by simply following the path west, as the trash pile sits right next to the road. The last few chapters bordered on unnecessary for me. It almost made it seem like the author had to have a set number of pages for the book to have, and added that to fill the gap. A few of these twists, turns, and plot developments felt cheap, almost to the point of pandering. It took half to almost two-thirds of the book for the marriage that was part of the back cover summary to take place.
The book would have been shorter had Garrett been honest about what he had to do to get Maddie out of jail. But for whatever unknown or unexplained reason he did not. This resulted in the book being longer than it needed to be. And then an ending that did up feeling a bit cheesy. I can change my mindset to enjoy most romances based on when written and published.
But that last part was what changed it from a great to a good read. But the last bit felt too drawn out, especially with the chosen plot devices. That hurt the book in the long run, and is likely why a lot of people felt the way did they. The story is still a good one. The only real complaint is the last few chapters, and then the especially cheesy ending. It was still decent but with other books out there I enjoyed more, and feeling there was better from this author, a re-read is not likely.
Not even pleasant escapism. In the aftermath of the battle of Culloden the Scottish highlands are populated with English redcoats who seek to destroy the very fabric of Highland life. When Madeleine Fraser's father is killed at Culloden,she swears to take vengeance, and raids English supplies in order to feed her villagers.

When her family home is taken over by a group of English redcoats Madeleine must seek to hide her identity from the handsome English Captain, Garrett Marshall, but she is unprepared for the effect this dashing English soldier will have on her heart. I love adventurous Highland romps, and this had the added advantage of being a free kindle download. Great escapism - handsome hero gets the girl.
Works for me every time. I found this to be a better than average historical romance. There was a lot less of that stupid-stuff-that-makes-no-sense-except-to-drag-out-the-book that usually has me gritting my teeth when I read this genre. The I found this to be a better than average historical romance. The heroine wasn't mean and obnoxious, as seems to be the recent trend in romantic fiction, the hero was a well-intentioned nice guy, so neither character got on my nerves, so I couldn't help rooting for them to work past their prejudices and not toss away a good thing.
The choices and hardships of the people left to fight and survive after the death or desertion by their leaders. The hero, Garrett is truly heroic and the heroine, Maddie is brave, but blinded by her own prejudice. Garrett is blinded by his feelings for her and fails to see what is going on right in front of him, and thus he seems a bit slow. Honestly, Garrett is so patient and wise that Maddi 3.
Honestly, Garrett is so patient and wise that Maddie comes across as a bit of an idiot at one point. Yet, her redemption and reconciliation of our star-crossed lovers makes for a sweet ending.

Attraction blooms, fought against on both sides, until pretty Scottish lass is captured and sentenced to death and then English redcoat with a soul must figure out a way to save her. Light romance, was diverting but didn't capture my interest as much as I had hoped. I really enjoyed this! A strong female lead and the author does a great job of immersing the reader in the time period. I also liked that it wasn't easy for the characters. They had to work at it a bit. My main complaint is there are a lot of typos in the kindle edition - it obviously wasn't proofread after conversion.
Thsi was a pretty good book. Though to long at times or not as captivating as it could of been. What happens after Culloden. Fraser clan as been hit hard.
The story was as good as an English soldier marries a Scottish heiress. History wise it was good. One of the most beautiful books I have ever read. I still relish the story of it until now. It beautifully captures the love and hate relationship between England and Scotland, and between the English and the Scots. Gym reading, aka free or cheap on Kindle. I rather enjoyed this one. Though, ONCE AGAIN, if the two main characters would have just talked to each other, they could have figured things out much quicker, but who ever expects logic to come into it? This is an okay read. It wasn't the greatest but it also wasn't the absolute worse.
I think I distinctly remember reading this book a really long time ago and I liked it.
The Brigand Bride
But since then, I've read other books that had better flow and the characters were more realistic. I really enjoyed this historical romance. There were times when I felt like it was dragging and I would skim. I felt like get to the point already , for example, the discovery that she was black jack I wished it had come a bit sooner. But I loved the characters and enjoyed the story. Surprisingly enjoyable historical romance. Easy and fast pace with no slow spots. I felt like this book was a bit of an Outlander rip off, but nonetheless, it had engaging characters, beautiful imagery and a compelling storyline.
I will definitely check out other books by this author. It truely was a sweet and endearing tale. I love how the herione was a "Robin Hood" and it was amazing what she was willing to do to help her people.
