She had won his heart without trying. Now he can only hope for a chance to win hers. When Findley McKenna returns after his battle with the English to offer Maggy Boyle a home amongst his clan, he finds only death and destruction instead of the young widow who has stolen his heart. With only his faith, his Highlander heart, and a bit of bloodied plaid to cling to, Findley vows he will find Maggy and her sons, no matter what hell he must endure. How can she place her trust or her heart in the hands of a man she barely knows and maintain her freedom while keeping her secrets hidden? Maggy has many secrets. Secrets that if uncovered, would tear her family apart. Fearful she'll be forced into another loveless marriage, Maggy is able to keep her identity hidden and her family together for three long years. But after her home is destroyed and her young son kidnapped, those secrets begin to unravel, one agonizing thread at a time. How can she place her future, and that of her sons' in the hands of Findley McKenna, a man she barely knows? And what would he think of her should he learn the truth?

As I said the premise didn't interest me, largely because it was based on love at first sight. Which I don't believe in. Lust at first sight, absolutely. But I don't think you can love someone without knowing their personality. And because of that, I thought Findley was crazy to be running after this woman, and even crazier to think himself in love with her when was proving herself to be a bit shrewish. I'm not saying that her actions weren't justifiable given the circumstances, but they were hardly ones that would endear a person to her. So in the beginning I found Findley crazy for thinking he loved Maggy and Maggy hard to tolerate, let alone like. And on top of that Findley had apparently built up in his head what he though Maggy would be like and it was the complete opposite to what she turned out to be, so I couldn't understand why he loved her.
There were two historical inaccurecies that bothered me. This first point might not seem important, but it stuck with me. How would a peasant woman in 14th century Scotland know about Greek mythology? Three times Maggy damned someone to Hades and all I could think was how she would even know about Hades. She was
Second, and this was referenced but never actually explained,
The latter half of the book got better, which I why I gave this a 2 rather and a 1. By then, IMO, there was some basis for Findley and Maggy's feelings for each other and the author started to infuse the story with some of the humor that I loved in Laiden's Daughter. I think the Epilogue was my favorite part of the entire book.
There were a number of grammatical errors - whether due to editing or Kindle, I don't know - but I noticed a number of words missing in sentences and, less frequently, missing letters and extra words. I haven't noticed anyone else comment on this though, so maybe its just my Kindle. But it happened at least a dozen times. ( )
