Maiden of Inverness

What do you do when everyone is telling you what to do ? Gilly had an important role to play in life and many people wanted to determin how she would play it out. At four she was married by order of the king, an attempt was made on her life, and she was taken away from her family to be raised by English nuns. Settled into the life she was forced into Gilly wants nothing to do with the young husband who she left in scotland. Her husband how ever has other plans. Again against her wishes Gilly is transported to another country and uprooted from the people she cares about. This time she is not a meek child, and gives them hell to pay until she learns what love is all about.

This book is close to being her BEST. Revas Macduff is a special kind of hero, the kind that is equally virile as loveable, and the relationship between he and Gibby brings tears to the eyes. While The Maiden herself gets somewhat trying, Revas and the entire cast of supporting characters more than make up for the heroine's somewhat less than sterling performance. There were times I laughed out loud, with tears in my eyes. If you get the chance, GET THE SERIES! Border Lord, Chieftain, and The Maiden. You may even break down and get the rest of the Scottish Fold, Border Bride and a short story inside A Holiday of Love. Hurrah for a man like Revas!

Maiden of Iverness is my favorite book in the entire universe! Kudos Ms. Lamb. The tale of a woman turned against her homeland and the butcher's son who is determined to win her heart for Scotland, and himself will make you cheer for Revas and envy Meridene. You will not be able to sleep until you read the whole thing from beginning to end, but that's just my opinion, so if it doesn't appeal to you, don't pay any attention to me. If you are as much big a fan as I am of Arnette Lamb, you will definitely want to read this book. Ciao!
