As a vicious border war and an assassination attempt by the Tudor Henry VII on James's life ensue, the pace is slower than most readers will want, and the sex may be more graphic than some will expect.

The language through out, at times, good have been different as I don't think they really used some of the termonolgy that was used in this book..

Oh, don't get me wrong, there is romance here. Just very little. I agree that its mostly a history lesson. So if you like to know a bit of history about the Scottish/English border in the 1490's then this may be for you.I just can't recommend this as a romance. Its basically a story about a highlander lass is who forced (by the Scottish King) to marry a Border Lord (a lowlander). I was hoping for more of a book similar to Garwood's The Bride. This isn't it. There is no sexual tension what so ever here. And what is the point of the H/H telling each other I-love-you in the middle of the bo. 90's then this may be for you.I just can't recommend this as a romance.

I love Bertrice Small's books, but I haven't loved her latest series. As one reviewer said, Ellen is fairly unremarkable, and Duncan is not nearly as memorable as some of her other heroes. This is your fault, Ms. Small--you've spoiled us by creating Skye O'Malley, Geoffrey Southwood, Adam de Marisco I don't mind a bit of history with my escapism, but unfortunately, these books seem like a history lesson with a little romance tossed in. Still, it was a good read and kept my interest.
And more dangerous than the passion—and betrayal—that could consume them.. When Highland heiress Ellen MacArther’s marriage plans are thwarted by a murder attempt, she has no choice but to beg the king for help. The cost for her urgent plea: to surrender her heritage and become a border lord’s bride. But the price to be paid for two strangers thrown together by fate is higher than imagined. But when he needs a favor from King James, Duncan never expects what he’s forced to pay in return: the taking of a bride he neither loves nor desires. New York Times bestselling author Bertrice Small continues her Border Chronicles with this tale of a woman rescued, a man enraptured, and a love unanticipated by the fates… Duncan Armstrong, laird of Duffdour, had sworn never to wed unless it was to a lass he truly loved
