A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

For Love or Loyalty (The MacGregor Legacy #1) - Jennifer Hudson Taylor

In the past, I have read Highland Blessings and Highland Sanctuary.  Since I enjoyed both those books, I was glad to be given the opportunity to read an advanced copy of this, the first in the author's new series, The MacGregor Legacy.

In Scotland 1760, Malcolm returns to his village to find that the clan who hates his family, the Campbells, have attacked people and kidnapped his mother and sister and sent them to the colonies to be sold as indentured servants.  In retaliation, he decides to take Lauren, the clan leader's daughter, to America and exchange her for his family.

Lauren tries to look at Malcolm the way God does.  She cares about the fate of Malcolm's mother and sister almost as much as he does and she proves it with her actions.  From the moment they are thrown together, they seem drawn to one another.  Malcolm comes to regret his plan and vows to find another way to release his mother and sister while proving his devotion to Lauren.

I can't believe how much I liked this book.  I had to force myself to put it down to save my eyes, but still finished it in two days.  While things are nicely wrapped up at the end, there are plans for more to the series.  Next March, book 2 is due out called For Love or Country.  The setting of this book is about 20 years after the first one, making it a safe bet that the books can stand alone. That is my favorite type of series.  Book 3 is due out October 2014 and is called For Love or Liberty.  I am looking forward to reading both of them. Good Book!

*I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
