Laird
of the Mist
by Paula
Quinn
An
intense captivating Scottish romance read!
Set in 17th century Scotland, Laird of the Mist
is a historical romance full of passion in which the historical clan
background lays a solid foundation for Paula Quinn’s riveting
characterization and romance. In her fourth book, Paula Quinn moves
away from the medieval period into a later period of history that gives
readers a window into a more obscure slice of Scottish history as it
might have been experienced by the men and women in their hearts,
passionate and torn by past loyalties and even written law.
Kate
Campbell is a strong, feisty woman not afraid to stand up for
herself but when raiders arrive, a Highlander whisks her away on his
stallion. Imagine her horror when she discovers that her rescuer is
none other than the man they call the Devil....a man known for his
brutality, a man whose name cannot even be spoken under penalty of law.
Those who sympathize with the bloodthirsty MacGregor clan receive no
sympathy but risk branding or hanging. When attraction and passion
would unite them, can romance stand against centuries of clan history
and law?
Callum
MacGregor, a handsome but fierce warrior has given up
everything, even his very name in the bloody feud between the Campbells
and the MacGregors and the resulting proscription. As an outlaw and
murderer, Callum is the ultimate wounded soul hero bent on revenge.
With Kate in his hands, the granddaughter of the Earl of Argyll, the
very man who imprisoned him in a dark dungeon in his youth, Callum
knows he has the means to the ultimate vengeance in his hands. With
even his very name wiped out of existence and hatred laying ruin to his
soul, Kate’s beauty and inner fire brings a glimmer into his heart.
Will Callum deny the one hope he has to enter the world of living men
again in his bid for retribution? With Kate and Callum now forced
together in such close quarters, will the untold secrets and lies once
come to light?
In Laird of the Mist, the passionate romance that
characterizes Paula Quinn’s romance is coupled with a new and more
mature precision in her writing style. Whereas her debut novel Lord of Desire uses descriptive prose to set the
scene and passion, Laird of
the Mist
has both the intensity of her earlier works plus more subtle variations
in style that show her true skill as a narrative artist. The addition
of more secondary characters and the addition of more historical
details creates a romance that expands outward, allowing the reader to
feel the time period in a way that heightens both passion of the
romance and the reader’s desire to know more about the history between
these two clans. Paula Quinn use of focused description and a carefully
unfolding plot in the theme of the name and the unspeakable name
creates an elegantly built narrative structure that intensifies the
emotional depth of her characters. In Laird of the Mist,
everything works together ---- characterization, plot, historical
research that becomes a lived reality of her characters, writing style
and thematic structure ---- to create an unforgettable romance. Laird of the Mist
is a beautiful, intense romance, marking Paula Quinn as a wonderful new
voice in historical romance, a new voice that has truly found her
niche. Laird of the Mist is quite simply an awesome
