"The Doctor and the Laird"

Fresh Fiction Review

Lord Of The Black Isle
Elaine Coffman

Reviewed by Kathyrn Little

Romance Historical | Romance Time Travel

David is a bit of a reluctant hero. He has to "rule" his people well and make the correct decisions as laird, a position he never wanted to hold. Elisabeth, a doctor, finds herself thrown back in time to Scotland. She isn't quite sure of the how or why, but she decides that she will still practice medicine. Elisabeth must be careful; if too many people decide that she is practicing witchcraft rather than medicine she could lose her life.

Elisabeth's character is easy to connect to. She is the "true healer," putting herself in danger to help others. She appears to truly want the best for people, a trait which can become a little annoying when applied to certain characters. David is a good character as well. Sometimes, readers may feel like he is a little too self-deprecating and gloomy, but he recovers nicely towards the end of LORD OF THE BLACK ISLE. The other characters are nice enough, though not particularly memorable. If you are looking for a sweet romance, LORD OF THE BLACK ISLE may be the perfect book!

SUMMARY

Elisabeth Douglas, a modern woman, is suddenly pulled back into 1515 Scotland by an ancestral ghost. She uses her skills she learned in medical school and quickly gains renown as a great healer.

When the Earl Of Kinloss, Devan Murray, wrongfully blames Elisabeth for his sister's death, Elisabeth finds herself being accused of witchcraft. Devan is soon betwitched by Elisabeth, but can he put aside his grief and woo her before it's too late?
