An arranged marriage leads to passionate love in this classic Scottish historical romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julie Garwood.
By edict of the king, the mighty Scottish laird Alec Kincaid must take an English bride. His choice is Jamie, youngest daughter of Baron Jamison—a feisty, violet-eyed beauty. Alec aches to touch her, to tame her, to possess her…forever. But Jamie has vowed never to surrender to a man she considers a highland barbarian.
Alec is everything Jamie’s heart has warned her against—an arrogant scoundrel whose rough good looks speak of savage pleasures. While Kincaid’s scorching kisses set fire to her blood, she is determined to resist him…until one rapturous moment quells their clash of wills, and something far more dangerous than desire threatens to conquer her senses…

Summary
Overall This book was great. I caught myself laughing out loud more than once. The chemistry between Jamie and Alec was wonderful. It is a scottish romance with a wonderful cast of characters. This is one of Garwood's best works. I didn't guess the villan either. I highly recommend this book if you like romance, LOL antics, and a mystery all set to a historical Scotland setting.
Violence There is two murders, some Highlander fighting, and someone trying to kill Jamie.
Language Some curse words; nothing that distracts from the story.
Sexual There are several physicals scenes and some are described with detail. I would not recommend for a teen.
Drug & Alcohol Some drinking of brandy and wine are mentioned.
