415 Pages

My Rating ~ 4 bites and a nibble

Michael Brodie wed Brenna and then left the Highlands for war and was gone *checks notes* nine years?! Well, this is gonna be good. I know because I read books 1 and 2 and loved them, so… 

Michael has been gone a long time. Longer than he really anticipated, but he was needed. Maybe one day he’ll share with Brenna all he’s been through. On the flip side, Brenna has also been through a lot and maybe one day she’ll share with Michael. Their marriage actually kinda depends on this mutual sharing if it’s going to survive. 

This isn’t your typical historical romance. The couple are already married though they never did the deed. You know, the horizontal polka. *wink wink nudge nudge* They both have issues they need to share and work out. And Michael really needs to get up to speed as to what has been going on all these long years in his absence. Because Brenna should be respected among the tenants of their land and she is not.

Having read books 1 & 2 I was already familiar with Michael Brodie. The author writes a wonderful story with lots of detail and yet it’s no tedious slog. I love the characters and how they work things out instead of keeping secrets. Well, ok. Brenna does try to keep her secret but it eventually comes out. The villain of this story is quite disgusting. Trigger warning big time for child molestation. And that ending, whoa. If you like great characters working through a decent plot and a romance for the ages (and a Highland castle!) this should do the trick.
