Shaken from sleep during the night and bundled off to the Highlands by a burly Scot, Riona is at first terrified, then livid. Hugh McCallum insists they were promised to each other as children to ensure peace between their clans. The stubborn laird refuses to believe he's kidnapped the wrong Catriona Duff. Instead, he embarks on a campaign of slow-burning seduction . . .At first, Hugh cares only what their marriage can do for his people. Now he's starting to crave Riona for her own sake, but her true identity jeopardizes his clan's contract. And unless she chooses to risk all to be his bride, he'll lose the only thing he prizes more than the lands he's fought so hard to save—the passionate marriage they could have together. AMAZON
Of course the storyline is what caught my eye, although the book cover was pretty nice too. I thought, now this one could be good. And it was, action started right off in the opening few paragraphs of the first chapter. Although Riona was terrified, she wasn't going to go quietly into the night or anywhere else. She tried her best to make McCallum listen to the fact that he had the wrong girl but she found out he was one thickheaded, determined Scot. He didn't believe one word out of her mouth and just felt like she was trying to squirm out of the deal that had been made so many years before. He had suffered so much because of that deal and so had his clan. So that meant in his mind that she was just going to have to get used to the idea that they would be marrying. If anyone was going to be bend, it was going to be her. Uh huh, you could tell how well that was going to work, right? Riona has lived her life so many years with someone else controlling it so tightly, this man was a stranger and this wasn't part of the deal that she was ever meant to be a part of. She was the main caretaker for her younger sister who was ill, and her mother and father were just fine with that. She spent most of her life, at home almost invisible except to the one person who loved her, her cousin Cat.
There was a good cast of other people in the the story who added to it. Interesting ending to the story as well.
