Pertenece a las seriesKing's Outlaws (1)
After the crowning of Robert the Bruce, Sir James Douglas is sent to the Scottish borders to wreak havoc on those loyal to Edward of England. But his plans go wildly astray when Lady Ailish Maxwell's brother is captured by her traitorous uncle. James has every intention of finding the lad but when Her Ladyship announces she's joining the quest, he's not about to let her go, no matter how beautiful her crystal eyes, or convincing her silver tongue. And Ailish will not sit idle while her brother, the true heir to the Maxwell dynasty, is taken deeper into the enemy's lair. After putting forth every ounce of reasoning she can muster, Sir James agrees to allow her to pose as his wife. But what she doesn't count on is falling in love with the braw Highlander. And as they ride farther into enemy lands, they cannot ignore the intensity of the passion simmering between them, though it could very well destroy everything they have worked so hard to preserve.

The King’s Outlaws #1
What is better than having just finished a great story?
Knowing that it is the first in a series with more great stories to look forward to!
In 1306, when we meet James Douglas and Ailish Maxwell, Scotland is in the midst of turbulent times. Conflict is frequent with murder, rape, pillaging and more occurring across the border between England and Scotland. King Edward is working hard to subjugate Scotland and assert sovereignty over it. Some Scottish believed that the King of Scotland should be Scottish while others, for one reason or another, were on the side of Edward and having England in charge. James and Ailish have come to the inauguration of Robert the Bruce with plans to swear fealty to him and after doing so their story truly begins.
What I liked:
* Knowing that the story is set in history with some of the characters once real people and their biographies known.
* James Douglas: a young man, warrior, intelligent, caring and intriguing. He is interesting, in more ways than one, and perfect for Ailish.
* Ailisih: a young woman seeking to keep her brother’s birthright. She is resilient, determined, stubborn, independent, and sometimes chooses to go against what she has been told might be the safer course to follow. She is perfect for James.
* Robert the Bruce: from what I saw of him he seems a man who wants the best for Scotland
* Watching the relationship develop between James and Ailish
* That Ailish didn’t get away with her not so wise idea(s)
* That though James was a great warrior he could still suffer injuries
* The men with James
* What I saw of Ailish’s siblings and her lady’s maid
* Knowing that there is a book two to look forward to
* Wondering if Robert Boyd will star in a book of his own – will he be next?
What I did not like:
* Being reminded of how cruel conquerors were to those they invaded the lands of.
* Having to wait for book two
Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I read more in this series? Definitely!
Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
