I didn't like how innocent and naive she was for her age.
I did not like Elizabeth for most of the book. Everything was going great until Elizabeth came crashing back into his life. He even had a wealthy widow with lands and titles interested in marriage. He joined Bruce's army and aspired for a knighthood. She was too aware that the differences in their social status would never allow anything else.īut nothing could keep Thom down. He waited three long years for her to come back from France to find out she just wanted to be friends. Thom had always been in love with Elizabeth and he thought she felt the same. Elizabeth and Jamie were the laird's children and Thom was the son of the village blacksmith but that didn't seem to matter while they were young. Thom met Elizabeth and Jamie Douglas when they were children and, along with his friend Joanna, they became best friends. I love how Monica McCarty knows so much about the Scottish history surrounding Robert the Bruce that she can effortlessly combine real characters and real events with a few invented characters to make an exciting and heart clenching story. But the merciless, muscled warrior is not the companion she remembers.This is a perfect blend of romance and history. When the English capture her younger brother, she turns to the quiet, steady former protector who can climb anything. She never meant to hurt Thom, but her only hope for security is to marry for the betterment of her clan. Despite their differences in rank, they become inseparable-until Thom confesses his love, and the humiliation of realizing that Elizabeth has never considered him a potential suitor drives him to battle.Įlizabeth is devastated. To the son of the castle blacksmith, the daughter of the powerful Lord of Douglas might as well be. The first time Thomas MacGowan saw Elizabeth Douglas, he thought that she was a princess.
The greatest climber in Scotland fights to win a place among the legendary warriors of the Highland Guard-and the heart of the woman he dares to love-in New York Times bestselling author Monica McCarty's steamy new adventure.
