The Pride of Lions Book

Now this is what a historical romance is all about...

I had grown weary of your typical HR, as I found they were repeated story lines, all jumbling together and becoming more and more cheese as my reading tastes advanced. So, I put aside the HR Genre and found myself delving into stories with more substance.

Lately, I have been finding reading in general has become a chore, it seemed every book I picked up I would start with the best intentions but in the end was unable to get through the first few chapters.

Finally, I decided to do some serious research, missing that amazing pull of great stories, jam packed of history but still laced with a great love story such as my favorites and however, it has been seemingly impossible...

I stumbled upon this author in my search, and decided to give her a shot..

What a pleasant surprise.. It had everything I crave in my meatier books, plus a great love story.. It didn't feel like your 'typical' boy meets girl story and that I can appreciate. It had ALOT of accurate History regarding the Jacobite Rising, and the Upcoming Battle of Culloden, and the battle of honor and conscience that many Highlanders faced regarding the joining of Bonnie Prince Charlie.. It wasn't jam packed with corsettes, and chaperones... Daintily shoed feet, and impecally dressed suitors simply waiting to get in the wearer of said shoes skirts...It felt more real to me. It could have been made into an epic story if the author had expanded on it a little more... It definatly has the potential.

In short, I loved this book... it was a breath of fresh air after one hell of a reading dryspell.. I have already ordered more by this author.
