Will she find the new home she longed at the end of this journey ...
What a fun and fast read this book was, the pages and words flew by, I didn’t saw the time pass.
While it is a novel on the short side, it has everything to enjoy. From the fiery lass and the managing laird clashing wills at every turn, to the many animals and kids wreaking havoc in their wake.
And while I think Katie was a bit unrealistic to embark in such a journey without having any insurance of what will await her at the end of it, I also understood the reasons behind a run into the unknown, it looked better than the outcome waiting her at home.
Still, very reckless as it was not only she and her brother she took along her trip to a new place.
Yet she did what she had to, as she did for years because of her absentee and irresponsible father. At such a young age, she became manager of her family lands, mother to her brother, healer of her people. What a burden for her young shoulders.
Thus she does not take well to be ordered by a laird determined to not accept her request.
Evan is head of his lands, so everything must going the way he wants and expects, but Katie’s arrival turns his stay at his new estate in a game of patience and disorder.
He came here on a mission, and the course of it is very much altered when a feisty lass arrives with a silly demand that he surrenders his new estate to her.
Yet this fiery girl, no, woman, full of spunk arises his interest. Could there be more to expect than banters and clash of wills?
Outside the dark topic behind Katie’s true reason of escape, this is a light and full of fun read, with only the issue of two tempers crossing daggers.
I loved too the tiny snippets of daily life and customs from this time in this area.

This is a clean and very readable novel that will have you laughing and sometimes almost crying
I am a fan of Scottish historicals as you all have probably noticed by now. I really like the ones that have very strong females who are pitted against equally as strong males. This one was so enjoyable I just kept reading it straight through.There was a definitely good reason that Katie left her home and had her clan follow her--not giving up why--it took Lord MacNeil a very long time to find the answer to that as well.They butted heads more often then not--luckily there was another charactor or two who was not afraid to tell the Lord off and make him see where he was making a big mistake.This is a clean and very readable novel that will have you laughing and sometimes almost crying--but forever interested--and yes--there is a happy ending!!
