Laird of Smoke
Glynnis Campbell
Medieval Romance
From USA Today bestselling author Glynnis Campbell…Adam la Nuit of Rivenloch has always lived in the shadow of his magnificent warrior cousins, so he relies on his gift of invisibility to protect his clan. Whether disguising himself as the king’s right hand man, the emissary of the Pope, a withered milkmaid, or a mercenary spy, his clever ruses enable him to steal boldly through the ranks of friend and foe alike…until he encounters Sister Eve.
Eve is a willful and wayward nun bent on doing what she perceives as God’s work, even when it involves deception, disguises, and danger. Bored at the convent, she travels Scotland as a titled lady, a humble maidservant, or a foreign archer, righting wrongs, spreading good will, and seeking her Greater Purpose…which goes astray when she meets Adam.
When mutual admiration leads to something stronger, and Eve falls in love with Adam, she decides to give up her holy calling. But she can’t let Adam ever know she was once a real nun. And Adam, on a secret mission to stop a war, can’t reveal he’s the king’s man. When they find themselves on opposite sides of a royal battle, and a savage betrayal raises its ugly head, will their love be enough to survive?
Uncaged Review: This is the last book in the Scottish historical romance of The Warrior Lairds of Rivenloch and what an exciting wondrous tale it is! The one thing Sister Eve liked about being a nun is invisibility. When Eve spots an emissary of the Pope, she is struck by how gorgeously handsome he is. The person playing the emissary is Adam la Nuit and his greatest thing about being a Rivenloch is being invisible as well. When Eve and Adam bump into each other, they both realize that they might be unseen to everyone else but not to each other. With each disguise, Adam and Eve realize how similar they are and develop a respect for each other which turns into love. The more costumes Eve wears, she can’t hide who she truly is, a nun. Adam also must tell Eve that he is of the famed Rivenloch clan, but when they both discover who they truly are, will they deny how they truly feel for each other or risk losing each other in the end?
I just enjoy reading all of these magnificent Scottish stories by Ms. Glynnis Campbell! She just weaves a beautifully well-told book that you definitely will not be bored. Her characters are amazingly three-dimensional that you can not only imagine them, but they are real life people that magically come to life! There is just so much passion, heart and emotion that you can’t help but feel along with the novel too. Also, the greatest thing is that this book can also be a standalone without needing to read the other books in the series. Of course, you will want to read the other books because of not only the delightful family of the Rivenloch clan, but even though this is the final book, I surely hope there are more, because I would like additional tales too. So, yes, this book deserves the five-star rating that I am giving it because it was just that amazing, and I was sad to see its ending, so I will be rereading it again!
