Summary

Declan Sinclair is a Highlander who believes his dreams never lie. When he spots Caya at a public house, he knows instantly she is the woman in his dreams - his future wife. Though her brother had promised never to gamble again, he engages Declan in a card game - and the prize is the lovely Caya.

Caya Pendarvis has no time for childish things like dreams or fairy tales or love. She's the sacrificial lamb on her way to the far north of Scotland to wed a wealthy merchant in exchange for settling her brother's gambling debts.

Winning at cards is one of the many things Declan Sinclair does well. Unfortunately, the ability to court a woman - a talent he lacks - is the only skill he desperately needs to win Caya's heart.

I Loved this Book

I Loved this book as much as the first. The plot keeps you guessing & keeps you hooked.
There are laughs & surprises a plenty.
The narrator brings the book to life.
I would definitely recommend it.

Some funny bits

Second in the series, Declan is a sweetheart, Caya has her charms, some bits really made me chuckle! Narration is a bit hit and miss but will probably carry on with the rest of the series now I’m used to it.

Good.

Second book I have had in this series. As good as the first, with a different one of the cousins as the main character. Really well narrated.

fine story

the story is fine but i object to the women being portraited as witless and stupid. after all how did the vast majority survive without a backbone.

Thin story

The story was thin and repetitious . The two main characters: the woman thought the same thought’s over and over again. It was frustrating.
It didn’t help with a female narrator who fave the male a wimpy voice. It didn’t match his masculine description.
