My Review:

This was a very short quick novella and if you are looking for a winter theme, its not a bad one to read. But this is a tough era to read in so it might be hard for some readers so make sure your aware of the events of Culloden before moving forward with it. I do know that there is a companion book to this one with Kerrigan Byrne featuring the brother's story. While I am tempted, I am not a fan of Byrne any longer as an individual. So we shall see if I pursue that story. I did enjoy this novella, thank goodness for a non kick ass heroine. So refreshing as this author seems to be so intent on writing woke heroines. This heroine felt more relatable. The romance though was in the back story. It was a typical novella romance, and I do wish it had more drive for the story between them.

Overall a quick read in the Le Veque medieval landscape.
