Until a Scottish hero began calling to her.Įlizabeth longed for the man of her dreams.

With an indifferent fiance and a stalled writing career, Elizabeth Smith found passion and adventure only in the unpublished romance novels that she wrote.

And he allowed no women to cross the threshold of his keep. He loved his men like brothers and his land with a passion. James MacLeod was the most respected-and feared-laird in all of Scotland. Kurland is a talented storyteller and she writes so beautifully.From Lynn Kurland, the New York Times bestselling author of the Nine Kingdom series. I definitely recommend this and all of Lynn Kurland’s other books if you like romance (of a historical and paranormal nature), knights, chivalry, loving families, interesting and dynamic characters, and charming tales. It was just the bit of romance I needed right now. I’m happy to see old faces again (this happens in much of the de Piage and MacLeod books) and, of course, my three favorite…healers Berengaria, Magda and Nemain – these women are hilarious. He’s a fun character to get to know – strong, honorable, self-assured (in a good way). Colin is adorable and funny – though don’t tell him that our he’ll see you repaid in the lists (haha). It’s wonderful and a bit frustrating (in a good way) to watch as Ali and Colin come to understand each other and what brought them to this point. Granted it’s in part to keep up appearance as a knight but still admirable.

I like how she, a high born lady, is willing to walk about in the mud and learn swordplay. This is my second time reading this book and it was just as good and sweet and lovely as I remembered.įrom This Moment On is a true testament to the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover.” Ali is a strong protagonist who takes her fate into her own hand and tries to stay strong against the challenges she faces when life appears to unravel before her. As Colin tries to build her into a more manly knight, Ali begins to see that there is more to this fierce man and his intimidating reputation.

Disguised as a knight and living in fear, Ali eventually finds herself back where she started – now under the tutelage none other than the Butcher of Berkhamshire. Two years ago, Aliénore of Solonge fled from her betrothal to Colin of Berkhamshire – a fierce and intimidating warrior with an equally fierce and intimidating reputation that has led scores of would-be-brides to flee – and her stepmother.
