Some of the nursing and medical descriptions that Annie in this has to go through reminds me a lot of Claire's remedies in the Outlander books. Almost the same time period, and very much the same feel on the frontier whether it's in upstate NC or the mountains of NC. I felt right at home with it!Julie at Outlandish Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16595989966510183531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-23882084568050869602009-05-02T16:22:00.000-04:002009-05-02T16:22:00.000-04:00Julie!

I liked your comparison to the later "Outlander" books. <br /><br />I've read a number of reviews about this series and all have been glowing so I'd best add them to my book order sooner rather than later. :)<br /><br />Happy you enjoyed the books you won Julie. <br /><br />Warm Regards<br />LLeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11521584458356470972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-15013489778014960332009-05-02T08:07:00.000-04:002009-05-02T08:07:00.000-04:00Blodeuedd - yes, I think eventually he'll get his ...Blodeuedd - yes, I think eventually he'll get his own story, but she still has to write about the third MacKinnon brother first. It's really very good and captures the imagination of Colonial frontier living.<br /><br />Annie - glad you're adding it, it's really good, I hope you like it!Julie at Outlandish Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16595989966510183531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-26199303684827683402009-05-02T06:02:00.000-04:002009-05-02T06:02:00.000-04:00Wow Julie this sounds great!

But trust me - I've moved Untamed almost up to the top, I still have a few before that I've promised to read - but I can't wait to get to it - I want to read all about Morgan! I was really afraid you were going to do something awful to him in Surrender when you wrote that he was the only one that didn't have a scratch on him - I thought "uh-oh! Now, something horrible is going to happen to him!" I'm glad I was wrong!Julie at Outlandish Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16595989966510183531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-70050397247722272462009-05-01T21:23:00.000-04:002009-05-01T21:23:00.000-04:00I wondered when I saw that plaid. I thought, "Atti...I wondered when I saw that plaid. I thought, "Attila never wore plaid." I thought maybe I'd missed some Scottish epic in which Gerard played a bra highlander. Darn! LOL! I was looking forward to it.<br /><br />You're right that Lord William was just playing with her head. He wanted to see how far she'd go. The question I ask myself is what he would have done had she truly been Annie Burns and not Lady Anne Campbell. Would he have tried to get her into his bed? I think he's too much of a snob for that, actually. I don't know what kind of heroine he ends up with, but he has some things to pay for and some suffering ahead of him before he's ready to be a hero in his own right.<br /><br />I'm very honored that you dug the book out of your massive TBR (watch out for avalanches when you do that) and thrilled that you're moving on to UNTAMED.Pamela Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308504469372100650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-5448899596314581872009-05-01T21:12:00.000-04:002009-05-01T21:12:00.000-04:00Barbara, thanks for posting!

Yes, Lord William grew on me, I'd like to see what becomes of him as well. I was glad to see he did the right thing eventually and helped Annie, though when he took her ring... gulp! <br /><br />Pamela, thanks so much for dropping by! (I'm honored! LOL!) Yes, that's from Attila, but I colored his hair reddish and added a plaid to him and turned him into Jamie Fraser from Outlander! LOL! I know, I sometimes just gaze at him and imagine...<br /><br />I'm glad to hear you want to write a story about Lord William - and yes - Joseph! That would be great! It was so refreshing to have Lord William turn out to be a nice guy - but yes, I did like the way his mind worked, always thinking like a chess game. The whole part where he makes the bargain with Annie about spending the night with him - did he always mean just dinner, and she jumped to conclusions and he just let her think that? Or did he mean "spend the night" with him for real? I wondered, since the way it was phrased, I thought he was just playing with her head - he enjoys that, but thankfully he wasn't as twisted as her uncle, Lord William has a conscience. I'd love to read more about him! Thanks for commenting, and don't worry about the double post - yes, it's probably one of those mystery Blogger blips!

I'm delighted that you enjoyed Iain and Annie's story. I hope you enjoy Morgan and Amalie's story just as much.<br /><br />I'm glad, too, that you like Lord William. I want to give him a story. He's such a fun character to write -- all of his weasley, manipulative ideas, his cold, calculating mind that's not quite as cold as he perhaps thinks it is. Yes, Barbara and others have been very aggressive in insisting he get a story — and Captain Joseph, as well.<br /><br />I must admit it took me a few minutes to get to reading your review, however, because my eyes were glued to that image of Gerard Butler. OMG! Is that from ATTILA? I do love a barbarian. Is he hot or what????<br /><br />PamelaPamela Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308504469372100650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4781006155885226657.post-79848197591228281822009-05-01T20:18:00.000-04:002009-05-01T20:18:00.000-04:00Hi, Julie!!

I've already begged--shamelessly so--Ms. Clare to write his story!! He is definitely deserving of a HEA! <br /><br />Wonderful review. I can't wait to see your thoughts on Untamed!! Oh and congrats on winning them ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
