Rating: 5 stars!
In an attempt to help and protect her brother, Bran, who is her only remaining family and who risks his life reiving to keep them fed, Ena Davidson secretly joins a raiding party over the Scottish border into England. Her goal is to help her brother and try to keep him safe; she certainly never expects to meet the love of her life in such hostile territory.
Renault Blanchard has clawed his way up from being a dirty orphan begging in the streets to now having a shot at becoming a castle guard for a powerful border earl. But to get the coveted position Renault has no problems with this simple job, until he begins to get to know the Scottish people, and one fierce woman in particular.
Even though they are meant to be enemies, Ena and Renault come to trust each other and work to keep one another safe during continued border skirmishes. But with their people firmly at each other's throats, their newly developing bond may be crushed before it has a chance to grow.
I really enjoyed this book. The fast pace kept me engrossed and there was just enough suspense to keep me on the edge of my seat without giving me too much stress. I really loved Ena and Renault as a couple and it was also lovely to get some backstory on Bran. I can't wait for the forthcoming series also set in this world.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
