Laiden's Daughter
by Suzan Tisdale
This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance
Laiden's Daughter is the first book in the Clan MacDougall series by Suzan Tisdale. I have really been looking forward to picking up these books, since we see the main characters in other books so I was really looking forward to reading Duncan and Aishlinn'sstory. This was a super fun story to read and boy I had so many barrels of laughs with this one because Aishlinn doesn't just win Duncan's heart but the hearts of his people very quickly.
Aishlinn, was left to be raised with her step father when her mother died when she was only four years old. Her step father trained her to fight and to hunt because he tended to "put her down" and not believing that she could ever marry. But then her step father died and her step brothers sold her as a servant at Castle Firth for two sheep. And when the Earl attempts to rape her, she stabs him and thinking that she has killed him she runs north to the Highlands which is where she is found by Duncan McEwan. Duncan while out hunting for raiders of some cattle, comes across a lass near freezing and he and his men help her and return her to their keep. Aishlinn has been a servant all of her life, but the Scots treat her as an equal and she can't deny the feelings she feels for Duncan and how welcoming his people have been for her. But there is a danger, the Earl is alive and will stop at nothing to have her back....Will Aishlinn have to make the greatest sacrifice to save the clan of will the love Duncan has for her be strong enough to fight the English?
This was such a beautifully written story and so much depth to the story. Not only do we have a wonderful love story that comes into play here, but there is also a mystery solved about Aishlinn's real parentage and who her birth father really is and why her step father was so cruel to her over the years. I really loved the mystery behind it and when the truth is revealed....this scene is so built up through the story it really tears at your emotions. The love between Duncan and Aishlinn is so tender and poignant. I love that Duncan is so devoted to Aishlinn...he isn't perfect by any means, and boy does he get jealous and yeah this is where you just fall for Aishlinn's strong spirit because she is even tempered and sweet but when she is angry watch out and her character was so fantastic. She is perfect for Duncan including not letting him getting away with possessive overbearing behavior that sometimes erupts. This story had me in and out with my emotions and I love how Brad Wills (the narrator) just brings these stories to life!!! A PHENOMENAL ROMANCE!
