Kate Cameron is not the usual Victorian maiden. She attended
a progressive school and, rather than settling into the
search for matrimony, she spends her time helping out at Dr.
Rankin's Aberdeen clinic, using her special gifts to ease
those who come there for healing and help. But someone wants
people connected with the clinic dead.
Gavin Hepburn is not the gadabout he seems to be. His
psychic gift warns him she is the woman he is fated to
protect, but she doesn't make it easy, and why should she?
Why should she trust him rather than her own finely honed
instincts? But he is the Seer of Grampion and he has no
choice but to stay at her side no matter how society will
perceive them.
"In Scotland we burn witches." The note Kate is given marks
her for murder. She holds secrets someone wants to keep
buried. The only man who knows the full gamut of her talents
is dead, leaving her to face the killer alone.
I am a sucker for well-drawn secondary characters, and I was
delighted with those peopling this book. Although peopling
may not be the best phrase as my favorite by far was Gavin's
dog, MacDuff. The main story line was enriched with the
major and minor character interactions, making the book as a
whole even stronger.
Deeply, richly romantic, A BEWITCHING BRIDE is one of
Thornton's best. The ratcheting tension leads inescapably to
the explosive conclusion, but not without moments of humor
and endearing tenderness along the way. The last book in
the Scottish series, it was also Elizabeth Thornton's final
book. She died in July of this year, and will be mourned
and missed by those who loved her, and her work.
When those around her begin meeting tragic fates, Kate
Cameron knows she's next-until she's rescued by psychic
Gavin Hepburn. But after a night of hiding together, Kate is
branded a fallen woman and forced into marriage with
Gavin-an arrangement that suits Gavin's purpose to do
anything it takes to keep Kate safe from a killer haunting
her past. For this enigmatic and lonely beauty has become
the unexpected love of his life.
