This review will appear on 3/15/13 at Romantic Historical Lovers Book Blog.Bryce Fraser is a Scottish Warrior that is fighting to help put Robert the Bruce in the Scottish throne. They’ve been fighting Edward the Longshanks for years and both have paid the price with blood. Bryce has scars that are both physical and emotional. The emotional scars have left him with a wall of stone around his heart. He refuses to fall in love and has no need for a woman.Fallon is a bonny lass. She doesn’t think she’ll ever find love or get married. She’s been blessed with the gift of second sight. Although Fallon feels the gift is a curse. Everyone she gets close to fears her gift and treats her as freak. Those that she does get close to, die. The worst part is she sees it happen in a vision and can do nothing to stop it.When Fallon and Bryce meet, they feel an instant connection. But they’re both so stubborn; they refuse to give in to it. A series of events, outside of their control continue to put them in each other’s path. Before long, love has bloomed. But being the stubborn fools they are, they deny it.When Fallon’s life is endangered, Bryce does everything he can to rescue her. He’s afraid he won’t make it in time. Will he save her? Will he finally admit his love?I really enjoyed this story. It’s steeped in the battles for Scottish Independence the characters are familiar to us all. Some are loved and others are detested. The battles are fierce, the passion is high and romance is dreamy.My only real problem was the dialogue. These are Scottish warriors and I really wanted the Scottish brogue that is so sexy. There was some Gaelic thrown in and a couple of words with the brogue, but otherwise it was all proper English. Having the dialogue written in the Scottish Brogue would have added so much to the story and helped immerse me in the backdrop.This is the second in the series. I have not read the first but did not feel I was missing anything. This story was complete in itself.A copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.
