The Window Seat on a Rainy Day

Anthologies aren’t my normal fare, but honestly, how can I go wrong with one titled Highlanders? Honestly, they are my favorite subject! I sat back. prepared to enjoy and this is what I found…

The Warrior and the Rose

Juliana MacDougall and her sister hid in the Cathedral as her guards were brutally killed and then, as she was trying to flee, Alasdair MacDonald, a long time enemy, entered and all hell broke loose! He took the bishop out, claiming he was a spy and had him murdered in cold blood, then set fire to the Cathedral. His parting words to her as her brother’s ships came into view were, “I am sorry you were here today.” She wanted nothing but revenge.

This was by far my favorite of the three novellas. I enjoyed the way Juliana fought her feelings for Alasdair, kicking and screaming all the way. I loved the emotions that Ms. Joyce was able to wring from me in such a short period of time. She made me love a man and cheer on a doomed love. The passion of Alasdair and Juliana was, well, just steaming hot! I wanted this novella to go on much longer.
