Summary

After nine lonely years as her father's prisoner, Dorie McCurdy is forced to marry the new war chief of clan MacKinlay. Terrified and unwilling to speak, she imagines the worst of her handsome, imposing new husband.

Bryce MacKinlay Campbell's wife and child were taken by illness years ago, and all he's wanted since is to be alone. Unfortunately, he is ordered to marry the McCurdy laird's daughter for an alliance between their clans. He's appalled by the way his bride is treated by her family when she shows up looking like a ragged, homeless waif. Bryce can provide for her needs, and offer his name, but not his heart - that will never happen again.

In her husband's strong arms, Dorie slowly emerges from her silence...and gradually the ice around Bryce's heart begins to melt. But when she is unexpectedly offered an annulment, she must choose - stay with Bryce, who she's fallen in love with but who never wanted her, or choose the unknown possibilities of a different future.

Contains mature themes.

Entertaining

The narrator is very good. Much better than I was expecting given previous reviews. Definitely worth listening to as a follow on to the first book in the series.

A real disappointment, extremely tedious.

The Hero spends his whole time bemoaning the fact that he lost his first wife and child to illness. How everyone he has ever loved has left him. How he would never love again etc, etc........
He would bed his new wife as he has needs, but she mustn't fall in love with him, it is just sex and so on.......
The heroine who has been locked in a small room, since she was 9 years old, has stopped talking. Thankfully, she doesn't keep "chewing the cud", instead, she is needy and pines for a guy who can't love. The reasons for keeping this silence, first from her husband and then friends, make no sense. Especially as she talks to her dog and sings, assuming all those around her are deaf.
However, it is the way the story is extended with chapters of angst that become tedious and the reams of gratuitous sex.
There are plenty of anomalies, such as death, which was part of life in those times (his father is onto his fifth wife), yet he acts as though it is unusal, a real "self-pitying jerk". Going onto a battlefield to see who had won. However, it was the self-pity of the hero who destroyed the story.
