She even admitted she was not the romantic type, and of course, she knew all along a marriage with him was impossible, so she never entertained such notions.īut, surely she knew he was in love with her! I know young women in those days were sheltered and naïve, but I felt she toyed with his feelings, led him on, and used him. I do understand the girl knew her lot in life and can even see how it was possible she never thought of Thom in a romantic way. Elizabeth is the most obtuse protagonist I’ve encountered in a long while. I have yet to read a book from this series that didn’t wow me.īut, I have to confess, I struggled with this one quite a bit. It's as historically accurate as is possible, is well written and researched. As I have stated countless times, the attention to detail is next to none.
The Highland Guard series is one the very best Historical Highlander series in my opinion. His goal is to show Elizabeth he is worthy of her. Bitter, and angry, Thomas sets out to become a Knight and better himself. Well, Elizabeth does return, but his plans and hers couldn’t be more different.
But, Thom always believed in Elizabeth, always knew she would return and they would have their happily ever after. The class distinctions were too great to overcome. Why? Well, Thom is the son of a blacksmith and Elizabeth is a princess. The two men argued and Elizabeth was sent away. But, as they grew up, Thom’s feelings toward Elizabeth became clear to her brother. Although Elizabeth was only six years old, she proclaimed that one day she was going to marry Thom.
This eleventh installment in the Highland Guard series starts off like a sweet fairy tale when Thomas McGowan becomes friends with Jamie and Elizabeth Douglas as children. I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher as an XOXpert, the official street team of XOXO After Dark. The Rock by Monica McCarty is a 2015 Ballantine publication.
