It was the first time reading a book that hadn't been reviewed. I was hesitant.The hero, Ewan's near death experience leads him to want to take a hand fasted bride for a year and a day to obtain an heir. He chooses Cait (who has quite a background). She has been in love with Ewan since they were teens. The entire book focuses on the feelings both characters encounter through this marriage. Ewan realizes he loves Cait, but cannot tell her. Like most romances, misunderstandings and miscommunication plague the couple, tearing them apart before Cait can tell Ewan of her pregnancy.The author did a fine job of defining the characters. Although the situation bringing the characters together may be far fetched, their interactions, reactions and thought processes are very realistic. A Year and a Day was a pleasant, romantic read complete with intrigue, a little mystery and the always welcome, Highland clan defending a castle (warning: a little racy after the marriage vows). I recommend reading this book.
