Review
Modern-day weaver Gwen
Hywel travels to a recently restored castle in the Scottish Highlands in order
to weave a tapestry for Adam and Meggie MacFhearguis, the couple residing in
Leomhann Castle, the home of the ancient Clan MacFhearguis. Little did she know
magic was abundant in the forest surrounding the castle and that time travel
was real. By removing a gold thread from a sacred yew tree, she was embarking
on the journey of a lifetime.
Highland warrior Patrick
MacFhearguis refuses to take a wife. His family, land, and home are cursed, and
the women who the men in his family wed are doomed to heartache. Then he meets
a strange woman in the forest who desperately needs help. Their attraction is
instant, but will he risk his hardened heart and Gwen’s future happiness for a
life spent together?
OMG. I love Gwen and
Patrick. Both of them are such strong, well-rounded characters. While she’s
opening her heart for something better, Patrick is trapped between doing what
his heart desires and what he thinks is the right thing.
The book skipped from
present to past, and back again a few times, but each time jump was perfectly
done. I was never confused as to what time period I was reading in.
I wish I had the
opportunity to read the other books in the connecting series, in particularly
The Order of the Dragon Knights, before I read this one. From what I can tell,
all of Ms. Morgan’s paranormal/highland books are connected, but of course can
be read as standalones. Anyway, I was sometimes confused since there were so
many characters, but that was cleared up as I got to know them better.
The large cast of
secondary characters includes Adam and Meggie along with their sons, the four
MacKay brothers and their wives, Patrick’s brother/laird Alex (is he getting a
story?), and various friends and children. For fans of the previous books, I’m sure
they loved the scenes with Adam and Meggie raising their headstrong boys, and
the MacKays enjoying married bliss. As a newbie to Ms. Morgan’s books, I’m
definitely interested in learning more about those couples.
I like Ms. Morgan’s writing style
and use of Scottish words. This is the first book I’ve read from her and
certainly won’t be the last.
5 Stars
Thanks so much for reading and reviewing my book, Amber!
