Editorial Review:
When formidable twin brothers set out to build an empire for their clan, they consider every detail except one - the power of love to upset even the best laid plans. Lady Cristina Macleod, eldest daughter of a Highland chieftain, is in a dire situation. Her superstitious father insists that she marry before her sisters, and he has forced her into a scheme: to trick Hector "the ferocious" Maclean into taking her for this wife. Yet Cristina wonders about the true reason, she obeys. It is because of duty to her father? Or her secret attraction to Hector? In matters of war, he is as fear-some as the battle-axe that hardly ever leaves his side. But to women, his face is temptation itself and his charm weaves a powerful spell. Now facing the wrath of her new husband, Cristina refuses to bow to it, fuelling his anger, stoking his passion. When an old enemy resurfaces and a new threat emerges, Hector realizes he could very well lose his "wrong bride"...and vows to fight for her with all his warrior heart.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Disappointment
With a strong beginning, the story promises to be enticing, well written and solid. As the story progress though, both characters, although well defined in the first few chapters, slowly begin to disintegrate and the reader is left with too much meaningless dialog which both weakens and undermines the once strong characters. It's also a little hard to believe that a warrior as powerful and savvy as Lord Hector could be duped in the manner he was (did not want to reveal the story line here for new ... Read More
Rating:  - Crags, Mors, Sea mists, Scottish Lords and their Ladies...
Any good story is best told by the author, and not retold by the reviewer. The best that I can do is highlight some of the elements that make LORD OF THE ISLES a five-star read.
#1 - The story takes place in the 14th Century -- an era in which fans of historical fiction do not often get to read about... a fantastic time in Scottish history. This is a time when the kingship of Scotland was coming to the Stewarts, and Ms. Scott explains how that came to be. Fascinating stuff, considering ... Read More

Amazon rating 4/5
LORD OF THE ISLES by Amanda Scott is a historical romance set in Scotland in the late 1300's. Lord Hector Reganoch, Lord of Lochbuie, finds himself out in a thunderstorm and goes to the home of Lord Macleod and his many daughters, seeking shelter. He meets the lovely Mariota, the second oldest daughter, and he falls in love with her. Unfortunately, when he asks to take her as his wife, Macleod tells ... Read More
Rating: - Well paced
Having read Highland Princess, I of course was eager to consume Scott's next tale in her new series. Though it has nothing to do with Sir Walter Scott's famous poem of this title.
Here we have the story of Hector MacLean (twin brother to Lachlan of the previous tale) and his bride by trickery Christina MacLeod. Hector, while pursuing the affairs of the Lord of the Isles, takes shelter during a storm with the MacLeods. MacLeod has seven daughters, the second being the beautiful Mariota who immediately ...

Rating: - Loved the History and Romance
Amanda Scott did an excellent job in blending history and romance in this novel I enjoyed both very much. I loved Christine as a heroine she was not the typical spoiled brat that you read in other romances. There were times where you wish she would slap the hell out of some characters and stop being so nice but that was part of her character of being an adult and being in control of her feelings. At the beginning I disliked Hector because while married to Christine he still flirted with Mariotta and wished ... Read More
