Set in 14th-century southern Scotland, this langorous series opener features a
plucky heroine and an obstinate but caring leading man. Lady Jenny Easdale
sneaks away with a group of traveling minstrels to have a final adventure
before
her wedding. When her betrothed's brother, Sir Hugh Douglas, catches up to her,
they discover a plot involving stolen jewelry as well as a passion for each
other that cannot be ignored. Hugh's efforts to control the headstrong Jenny
are
amusing, though at times her naïveté is more annoying than charming. Scott
creates a lovely, complex cast of secondary characters and has a deft touch
with
thorny period language, but when the jewelry theft conspiracy is resolved as
quickly as Jenny's robe is removed, it's hard to justify the long buildup.
I am really enjoying this historical romance. This is starting to be my
favorite
genres of romance.
