Chronicle Conducive To Books Intimate Enemies
From Shana Abé comes this exquisitely emotional, beautifully written novel about two warring clans on a Scottish isle united by a fragile pact...and the hearts of two unforgettable lovers.Lauren MacRae is only a woman. But her father's death has left her the leader of the Clan MacRae. Now it is up to her to defend her beloved Isle of Shot from the invading Northmen, even if it means going to her clan's sworn enemy, the powerful English overlord, Arion du Morgan, for help. But Arion's raven hair, green eyes, and smoldering sensuality soon make Lauren forget just why she turned to him—as he awakens within her a wayward desire.
Like Lauren, Arion risks the mutiny of his soldiers by forming this risky alliance. But he was brought up to believe that the Isle of Shot belongs not to the Clan MacRae, but to England—and he will defend it to his dying breath. Once, when they were children, Arion saved Lauren from a tortuous fate. Now, the copper-haired beauty has somehow found a way to banish the emptiness in his soul. And as they join forces to fight for the land they both love, he will risk everything—even his very life—to claim what is his.

This is the first romance book Ive been able to complete in my quest to read more romance. I liked the story. I liked the writing, I liked the setting, I liked the plot and the characters. The heroine was beautiful, strong, and feisty. The hero was suitably attractive, kind, and honorable. They were attracted to each other. The only issue I have with this book is I dont understand how the two main characters had enough time together to get to know each other let alone fall in love. It seems thatAmazing story! Sometimes when I read these stories, they are so predictable, I know every twist and turn before I finish the second chapter. Thankfully I can tell you that is not the case with this story. Obviously the hero and the heroine end up together because it wouldn't do to have them separated. Despite that, there was always a question asking "how could they possibly overcome their divisions? Are they really going to end up together?" There were constant twists of unexpected changes. It
This one was very hard for me to get into. I almost gave up several times but finally about the last 1/4 of the book it got interesting and I managed to finish it.
It was well on its way to getting four stars. the plot and emotional angst between the main characters had me holding my breath the whole time in the beginning. Lauren was so fierce saving his life and leading her clan. Through his eyes she only grew more beautiful. but their responsibilities and loyalty to their clan turned them into martyrs. towards the middle Lauren turned submissive and weak such a 360 of who she was from the beginning. Arion also seemed weakened and almost pathetic in his
So-so Scottish medieval of feisty Scottish daughter of slain laird who resists falling in love with an English earl that is supposed to be her enemy. Took me forever to get through this, not bad, but not great, didn't hold my interest. 3/5 http://ktleyed.blogspot.com/2011/01/i...
This seems to be a decent read, but I got bored at 30% in and decided not to finish.
