Scottish Highlands, 1700s:
Barely two weeks have passed since Laird Collin MacDonald first darkened Katherine Mercer’s doorstep and married her. Marriage has hardly been what she expected, given their grueling and adventurous days of travel to the Scottish Highlands. Along with the discovery that Collin’s twin Ian would like to see her dead, Katie must now face her own clan, whose chief wants to kill Collin and take her to wife himself. All because Katie possesses the Campbell gift of sight, passed down through centuries of her ancestors.
With little more than faith in her grandfather’s vision and her unique bond with Collin to guide her, Katie steps bravely into an unknown future, where the glimpses afforded her may bring more danger than direction. When the misuse of her gift takes Collin from her side, she is left alone and vulnerable. Help arrives in the most unexpected form as Ian MacDonald makes good on his threat to attack the Campbells and Katie learns that the bond between brothers and love knows no bounds.

My Review: 5 Stars
I almost feel like I have no words, and yet too many that I just don't know how to get out. You MUST read Yesterday's Promise before reading this one. This book picks up immediately where that one leaves off, with no recap or anything, so it's a must if you want the full experience. I can't decide if I was smart or not to have read it right before picking this one up because I totally escaped to Scotland in a scary time (at least, it was scary for me).
Scotland has always seemed a little like a dream world to me--a place of mystique, gorgeous castles, highlands, and kilts. But it's also seemed a bit terrifying to me, especially its history, mainly because of the clans. Clans are fiercely loyal, which means they're also violent, and that's very, very apparent throughout this series.
There is something completely magical about this book (and the series, really) that transported me immediately into the story. I lived, breathed, swooned, feared, loved, triumphed, and cried this story. The characters came alive and I could feel their emotions and I seriously felt like I lived their lives for a time. I also loved the complicated relationships immensely.
I really don't want to give anything away, but I was really blown away by this story and can't quit thinking about it. The middle part was hard--so hard--and I'm soooo glad there will be more to the series, but I want to read it now--I'm not ready to go back home yet.
Content: some violence and danger (nothing graphic); a fade-to-black between a married couple. I would consider it clean.
