Rating ~3.5 stars

The new Lynsay Sands historical book comes with a funny, romantic comedy along with a murder mystery, Who doesn't love that?

Saidh Buchanan the only sister to seven brothers, isn't your everyday female character. Though she is a lady be birth, she is not a lady in any other aspect of her life. She like her brothers is a warrior, along with being stubborn, outspoken and headstrong. She doesn't really understand whiny women (like her cousin).

Laird Greer MacDonnell is fascinated and intrigued by Saidh, at first glance he thinks Saidh is probably a sweet and shy lady or like her cousin (who's always crying) and is pleasantly shocked when he finds out who the real Saidh is.

Greer and Saidh's relationship is very passionate, with some pretty funny and sweet moments thrown in. They are both quite alike in their personalities and understand where the other one is coming from.

Saidh goes to find the truth about the death (murder or is it) of the former Laird MacDonnell who was the husband of her cousin and finds herself as a target by an unknown enemy. I was right about the who the enemy was (Yay, I'm always happy with myself when I figure it out).

I really enjoyed the book, it was fun lighthearted read, with some tender moments and a mystery to keep a person intrigued. Happy Reading!
