Catriona is a beautiful woman, but she suffers being the twin to the favored daughter of her father. When her sister Katelyn dies unexpectedly she is forced to deceive her sisters betrothed to keep peace at Bute. When the Norseman come to Bute and a war wages, she is saved by Finn and the men Laird Gillean sent for her. What no one expected was what fate and the fae had put forth, an attraction.Finn is a rugged, yet gentle highlander. His beauty and fair hair makes him easily confused for a Viking. Catriona can't help but be attracted to him, not only physically, but there is also an emotional connection. They both know pain and can see it reflected in the other.  Catriona being marred from the fight helps Finn see her on the inside before being taken by her outward beauty.The pace of this book was fast at times and slow at others. You just know that Finn and Catriona belong together, but between fate and Teile I wondered if it was ever going to happen. The scene in the kitchen clenched it. I loved how it played out and the timing was perfect. There are other scenes that seem rushed. I wish there was more to the ending. There is a time gap that needs to be filled. I can't tell you what one without spoiling the book, but once you read it you may see. That said, I like how the book ended and am anxious to read Lorna's book.This book is 4 stars. I enjoyed it over a days time and it was a great companion to the first book in the series. I look forward to more books from this author.I received a copy of this book for my honest review.
