Meet Lord Jacob, Jake, a man who towers over most others in a time when brave knights rescued damsels in distress. He's always felt off kilter, more so after his wife destroyed what little self-confidence he had. But he hasn't lost his sense of chivalry, and proves as much when he rescues Lady Isabel from ruffians.Lady Isabel suffers horrendous injuries in the attack, leaving her mute with a horrible ringing in her ears that makes it difficult to hear. She feels for the giant of a man who waded into the fray and saved her from certain death. That feeling grows to love, but her past will soon catch up with them, and they're left dangling on a thin thread of distrust and emotional pain.The first book in Samantha Holt's Borderland Legacy, Borderland Bride yanks the reader right into the story. Set in the years after the Black Plague, in Scotland, the dialogue and settings are amazingly authentic, giving one the sense of being there with Jake and Isabel as they tremulously work their way through love's first glimmering.I found this book delightful, a read hard to put down, and highly recommend it for all lovers of historical romance.Note: I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own.
