RANSOM by Julie Garwood

Now I'm back to woman having the brain and men being their regular clueless selves. I love Ransom, I'm ashamed to say that it took me some time before I realized that it was a continuation from another one of +Julie Garwood's books, when you read the book, can you guess which one it is?

Lady Gillian, having seen her family destroyed by a power hungry beast called Baron Alford, who sole purpose was to retrieve a jeweled box for his King John.  Upon seeing that the box was lost to him and that Gillian was not telling him anything, he banished her to her uncles house until he has need of her again.

With her father murdered and her sister missing, Gillian is left on her own with only a maid to accompany her to her uncles house.  One thing Gillian does know is that she will never forgive the man who destroyed her family. 

Now over a decade later, Baron Alford believes he has found Gillian's sister who he thinks knows the whereabouts of the jeweled box.  He needs Gillian's help in other to get to her sister and threatens to kill her uncle if she does not to as he commands.

Having no other choice, Gillian travels to the Highlands where it is believed where her sister now lives where she meets Brodick Buchanan.   Due to a very grave matter, Brodick and Gillian were pulled into each other lives and even though they are together through inconvenience, something in the both of them does not want to let the other go, even when the grave matter was resolved.

Brodick being a brave and stubborn man, cannot believe that this little slip of a woman can make him feel the way he feels.  Thinking that love is for the weak, he takes Gillian as her own, in a very underhanded way, but vows not to give anything of himself in return.

Can these two stubborn people find some common ground or would their pride break them apart forever.

Ugh, it's so hard to write a review for this book because I want to write about EVERYTHING, I want you to know people, that's how good this book is. But if I say too much, I will spoil all your fun, so save me the trouble and go buy the book and read it. Believe me, it's worth it.

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel...

THE HIGHLAND HENCHMAN by Amy Jarecki

After reading "The Angel and the Warrior" I really needed a book to pick me up and I am so glad that this book did just the trick.  The only thing that irked me was that the heroine in this book upset me greatly. Needing royal assistance, Baron Ross issued a tournament to enchant the Highlanders to leave their land and come to the Lowlands to take part.  What he really wanted was for the Highlanders to fight a dangerous battle that would get most of them killed. After the tournament the Highland Lairds choose instead to entrust their best warriors to stay and fight. This was not exactly what Baron Ross wanted but he knew that he could not change their mind so he accepted. Bran MacLeod was one of the warriors that was left behind, and even though he did not like it, he knew that he can never go against his Laird.  It did not help matters that their was a dangerous instant attraction between him and the baron's last daughter.  Bran knows that getting involved ...
