Looking for a good Scottish historical romance? A reader may enjoy the lyrical accent and realistic setting in KING OF THE ISLES. King Lachlan and Evangeline are the main characters and love interests of each other. Lachlan must always worry about protecting his land and his people. He almost has a caveman-like attitude. Evangeline could have been a little more independent, she seems to bend to Lachlan's decrees far too easily, but she is an OK main character.
The plot itself was pretty good. Evangeline has a special ability that she has to hide. That special ability, predictably, becomes a main plot point. The fight scenes were detailed and high energy, making it difficult to put the book down. The love story was pretty good, if a little predictable. Lachlan's rough and handsome exterior will likely entice the reader. The other characters are fun to get to know. The scenes are fast-paced and easy to follow making it easy for the reader to know exactly what is going on in the book with no confusion. Overall, historical romance readers will enjoy KING OF THE ISLES.
Evangeline may be powerfully persuasive in her way, but
convincing the notoriously wild Highland king Lachlan
MacLeod to strengthen his alliances with a strategic
marriage seems to be asking the impossible. Stubborn and
proud, Lachlan seems determined to go against her will, even
if it means endangering the people he's sworn to protect and
the enchanted isle that has already seen so much discord.
Yet the battle-scarred Highlander cannot ignore his sultry
advisor for long. When his mentor is kidnapped, forcing him
to ride into combat alongside the beautiful Evangeline, he
must choose between her safety and his own independence.
It's a choice he makes in an instant. but once wed to the
woman he could not resist, he'll soon find that his heart is
in even greater danger than his kingdom.
