Bookosaurus: The chemistry, the tension was so intense...it was captivating, enchanting...one page brings smile, the very next page showers anticipation and then there's nail biting tension...if I was not sure about the story being a HEA, I would have cried copious tears for better part of the story. I would have given it a ten star if possible.

Lori Dykes: My heart is bursting with a warm smile inside as I turn the last page. This was a one sitting book because I could not bear to put it down. With phrases like “He wanted her more than he wanted to breathe “ this was a perfect romantic story.

Colorado Cowgirl: The Border Series keeps getting better! I loved the interaction between Garrick, as the new earl with a reputation as a womanizer and headstrong Emma who did not want anything to do with another arrogant and self-righteous nobleman. Sparks do fly when they are thrown together for a trip to Scotland. Emma's protective brothers won't let her go to visit her pregnant friend in Scotland without an armed escort, and Garrick is reluctantly headed to Scotland for an arranged marriage with a Lady to help cement his Scottish holdings. War could break out if Garrick does not court the favor of powerful Scots, including his uncle. Duty in those days included marriage for power and politics rather than for love.

So many historic novels set in the borderlands are almost silly in how the characters act but the Borderlands series transports you to the time and issues they are set in. Each book stands alone but I really enjoy revisiting the previous characters like Geoffrey and Lady Sara in The Earl's Entanglement. Her female characters are strong and...
