Mecca (
The Lord's Captive) returns to the Middle Ages of Northumbria with the latest installment in her "Border" series. It's 1273, and Lady Emma Waryn, a feisty young woman who loves horses as much as she loves her freedom, is determined to visit her pregnant friend. Her brother Geoffrey, eager to keep his younger sister safe, refuses to let her make the trip, until Earl Garrick Clave stops by on his way to an unwanted betrothal—unwanted even more when he sets eyes on Emma. What follows is an exciting story, filled with romantic near misses, stolen kisses, and forbidden moments that linger long past their conclusion. Will the Earl be able to end his betrothal to be with the woman he loves? Or will Emma make a rash decision that keeps them apart forever?
VERDICT With a strong plot, engaging characters, and steamy love scenes, this solid novel is for anyone with an interest in the Middle Ages and the complicated relationship between the English and the Scottish.
