Average story telling. Predictable. Nothing special. I wasn't drawn in. A number of his and her actions weren't believable.

STORY BRIEF:
Kitt's ancestors owned Castle MacKinnon. The English won the land 50 years earlier and the castle is now owned by the English Duke of Blackthorne. The current Scottish tenants are close to starvation due to the high rents charged by the Duke. Kitt is an only child. Her father makes Kitt promise to marry the Duke of Blackthorne or to get pregnant by him as a way to get the land back into Scottish hands. He then announces that Kitt is to be laird/lady of the clan upon his death. After he dies, the men of the clan want her to marry one of them. She says she needs time to decide, but she keeps secret her plan for the Duke. Meanwhile she is attacked and almost raped by one of the men which would force her to marry him. She decides she needs a bodyguard.
The Duke is traveling by boat to Scotland. Three men were hired to kill him. They beat him, take his clothes, tie his hands and feet, and throw him overboard. He survives and ends up on the beach but has amnesia. He doesn't know who he is or where he came from. He meets a young boy who suggests he speak with a Scottish accent, since the English are hated here. He ends up at Kitt's cottage where he saves her from a rape attack. She asks him to be her bodyguard. He agrees.
REVIEWER'S OPINION - CAUTION SPOILERS:
This was too much like so many other historical romances. I needed something to be special or different. The conflicts didn't work for me. She thinks he is Scottish and tells him she plans to get pregnant by the Duke. After she learns he's the Duke, she starts having sex with him but doesn't tell him who he really is. She's in love with him, but she lies to him. Later he learns who he is, but doesn't let her know he knows. They continue a sexual relationship for a while until he admits to her who he is. Then he shows anger and leaves. Why didn't he show anger before? Then a year goes by, and all of a sudden he forgives her, and they will be together. I'm sorry, but it just didn't work for me.

Pay attention. Amnesia,Scotish lore, two-faced enemies, greed...shall I go on? In the meantime, Katherine and Alex fall in love. Can their storied past hold them apart? Joan Johnston masters historical romance

Wickedly Captivating
Reviewed in the United States on 31 December 2013Verified Purchase
Joan Johnson thinks outside the box. You never know what to expect. She shows how different countries interact to situations. The characters are fiesty, passionate, emotional and very entertaining. It was a book I didn't want to put down. I, also, learned that a novel connects the brain which develops it. This one had to do wonders. Enjoy!
