      I love this author's writing. I had to listen right through to the end all in one go. The narrator did a great job.
    • 5/5
      I enjoyed the story and slightly surprise ending. It had good sispense but didn't drag out the story so long as to be annoying.
    • 4/5
      This is a wonderful story about love and how it conquers all.
    • 5/5
      I could never imagine a more brilliant ending to this series. It was absolutely worth it. I loved all 3 stories. I never thought I would say this about a fantasy novel but it was really beautiful. And to know all the brothers got well. It was a real work of art to write this book and write it so well.
    • 4/5
      Very good conclusion to the series. With her two brothers suffering from the effects of the curse Margaret heads to Scotland to try to find a way to break it. On the way her coach is involved in a horrific accident leaving most of her party dead or severely injured. She is found by Heath, the last of the line of Fenella, the witch who created the curse. As the first female Chattan since the curse happened Margaret tries to enlist Heath's help. He is not at all superstitious and thinks all the talk of a curse is a bunch of nonsense, but he wants to help Margaret. I really liked both Margaret and Heath. Margaret is a firm believer in the curse. She told her brothers that the best way to end it for them never to marry and have it simply die out. But when they do fall in love and the curse starts to have its effect on them she is determined to go to Scotland and find a way to break it. When she is rescued by Heath, a member of the witch's clan, she is not so sure that she can trust him. But he is willing to help her even though he doesn't believe in the curse. As the days go on Margaret is drawn in to Heath's life and finds a freedom there that she didn't have in England. She also starts to fall in love with him and as she does there are more frequent events that lead to the idea that Fenella is preparing for a final showdown. I really liked Margaret's determination that she would succeed in her quest. She also refused to stay in the background when Heath was going after his brother's murderer, but was right there being his backup. As the conflict comes to its climax Margaret realizes that love is the most important thing in life as she must trust in Heath's love for her to save them all.Heath had left his home behind for a career in the navy. When his brother was murdered he came home to take his place as head of the clan. But things are even worse now with the family deeply in debt and about to lose everything. He is a reluctant leader but a good one and is doing his best to save his family's land. When he rescues Margaret he is dismayed by her wild talk of curses. He is very pragmatic and doesn't believe in all that nonsense. He is very drawn to Margaret though and offers to help her in her quest just to have the chance to keep her around. He finds that strange things are happening and slowly begins to believe that there might be some truth to the idea of the curse. It took the curse's final attack on Margaret to push him over the edge of belief, but once he was there I loved the way that he took charge of bringing it to an end."Love well, love fully, love completely. Because in life, love is all that truly matters." ~ Margaret Chattan Macnachtan

      I was given the opportunity by Edelweiss, Avon, and Harpercollins to read this ARC. I have just adored this series so far. Cathy Maxwell never disappoints...that is all that I have to say. Every time I read her, I just think to myself...she is one of the main reasons I love Historical Romance so much. She makes history come alive, along with the characters she portrays in her stories. Her writing is so addicting, that you can't help but feel yourself becoming enthralled in the story...so much so you can't put it down for one minute. For those of you, who have never read from this author or this series...you are missing out on a thrilling ride that will take you back through time, where magic is real, and love surpasses time and space. We start in the story with Margaret and Heath meeting, where he rescues her from a carriage accident on her way up to see Heath. Little does he know, that she would change his life forever. At the beginning, there is sparks flying here, there and everywhere....I felt like I was watching fireworks. They could be explosive together. But as we progress in the story futher, we see a gentle love start to build between them. Heath doesn't believe in any curse or witches or spells, but he softens toward Margaret...so much so that you just melt when seeing them together. The bed scenes were so "Sigh" lovely, and passionate, yet gentle in its simplicity. It made me want to trade places at times. I loved the paranormal theme we have going...its not a huge aspect, we see much more focus on the love story than anything else (which is always a plus in my book) however I did like seeing the focus on the curse. As it got closer to the end, I was hoping it wouldn't be a cliff hanger or anything. Was I disappointed, shocked, or displeased in any way? NEVER!!! I was so happy I got a tear in my eye..I almost couldn't read for a minute. I loved the power of the love story that just climaxes in such a perfect way....that it leaves one grinning like a fool at the end. It did have some unexpected twists and turns that I never saw coming....and I was delighted to see how it turned out. It was the perfect end to a exciting trilogy that has kept me on the edge of my seat so far. If you are looking for a astounding romance that will delight you and make you believe that LOVE does conquer all....this is a MUST READ!!! A Classic tale of love, magic, danger, and passion that will curl your toes!!

      This was a great series I really enjoyed it even though I’m not a fan of fantasy. There aren’t a lot of writers who can keep me interested for 60 or more chapters. I lost track of Cathy Maxwell asa writer I followed so I’m glad to find her again. P
