Winner of the 2014 InD'Tale Magazine RONE award!

Scotland, 1354

He built impenetrable walls around his heart….

The Black Death showed no mercy when it took Rowan Graham’s beautiful, young wife. With his clan nearly decimated, his heart torn to shreds, he is left to raise his newborn daughter alone. Rowan tries to keep the promises he made to Kate on her deathbed, save for one: He is unable to give his heart to another.

She has built walls around her own…

Lady Arline is forced into yet another arranged marriage -- loveless and lonely. Behind Garrick Blackthorn’s good looks lies a cruel, vindictive man. She wants nothing more than her marriage to end so that she might gain the freedom she has longed for.

Fate will bring those walls tumbling down….

Just before her marriage comes to a bitter and ugly end, her cruel husband kidnaps a sweet, innocent child. Arline does not realize the child belongs to a man from her past, a man who has haunted her dreams for more than seven years, until the night he comes to rescue his daughter.

Rowan Graham is surprised to learn that his enemy’s wife is a woman he met but for a few short moments seven years earlier when dark times had fallen across Scotland. The same woman who had helped insure the freedom of his foster father and brother has been risking her life to care for his daughter.

Fate brings them together…but others are determined to pull them apart.

About the Author

USA Today Bestselling Author, storyteller and cheeky wench, SUZAN TISDALE lives in the Midwest with her verra handsome carpenter husband. All but one of her children have left the nest. Her pets consist of dust bunnies and a dozen poodle-sized, backyard-dwelling groundhogs - all of which run as free and unrestrained as the voices in her head. And she doesn't own a single pair of yoga pants, much to the shock and horror of her fellow authors. She prefers to write in her pajamas. Suzan writes Scottish historical romance/fiction, with honorable and perfectly imperfect heroes and strong, feisty heroines. And bad guys she kills off in delightfully wicked ways. She published her first novel, Laiden's Daughter, in December, 2011, as a gift for her mother. That one book started a journey which has led to fifteen published titles, with two more being released in the spring of 2017. To date, she has sold more than 350,000 copies of her books around the world. They have been translated into four foreign languages (Italian, French, German, and Spanish.)

4 reviews in one--enjoyable plots but books but need serious editing

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

I have just finished reading, back to back, Laiden's Daughter, Findley's Lass, Rowens Lady and Wee Williams Woman. I try not to read reviews before writing my own, but I did notice in getting to the place to enter a review that some of the same complaints as I have were in several of the first reviews on this book. I will be extensive and specific in hopes that the author will see this review and realize she really, really needs someone to edit these books. I could not tell if these were self published or if she has a publisher, but someone, other than the author needs to go through these books and edit them. These mistakes interfere with reading the books as you constantly have to stop, re-read to determine what the author means. In interrupts the flow of the books and can get quite irritating having to constantly think about what the author should have written rather than what she wrote.

First of all, there are punctuation errors, throughout. Commas when a comma is not needed, and no commas when one is needed. This makes the reader have to stop and reread the sentence to determine what the author means in many cases.

There is too much use of modern language, making the books not believable as being in medieval times. One that is especially annoying is the use of the phrase "no worries" which is quite a modern phrase. She should have used something such a
"dunna worry" or something similar in those sentences. There are other times when she really seems to stray from what would typically be medieval Scottish language, so much so that you feel like you are reading a novel in the 21st century. She uses entirely too many modern sayings. I suggest she read "The Seasons Series" by author Denise Domningfor a better sense of how to make you feel like you are indeed in medieval times, and believability is a huge factor in writing or reading a book not set in current times. Domning is a very good medieval era writer who researched the time period for 15 years before putting pen to paper so that her books truly feel like you are in medieval times. It is clear this author has very little knowledge of that era, but reading Ms Domings books may give her a better sense of how her medieval era books should be written in order to make the reader feel like they are truly in medieval times. The author even inserts (in one of the books) modern psychological theory regarding survivors guilt. The author constantly is placing her characters in the 21st century, not the 14th century.

At other times the author seems to lose track of what she said in the previous 2 pages...one specific instance is when in one of the books she says the men are going to a table with set mugs of ale, then two pages later she has them pouring the beer out of kegs...in two pages she lost track of what she had said? Anyone who had edited the book surely would have caught that. In another place there is a child being held captive away from their family , and within 2 pages she names that child as being with their family.

Many of her errors seem to be coming from re-writing a sentence, but she does not fix the entire sentence so that there are extra words or words missing, again making you stop and re-read trying to figure out what the sentence is supposed to say, interrupting the flow of your reading.

In some cases she used the wrong words, that sounded similar to the word that should have been used. I suggest the writer keep a dictionary handy when writing to make sure the word she is using is correct for the meaning she wishes to convey.

One thing this writer consistently does is incorrectly use words that are meant to be written together vs when they should be separate words. Specific examples:

anyone vs any one
overdue vs over due
wherein vs where in
and of course the infamous to vs too rears its ugly head as well.

She consistently has errors like that, indicating she does not know when the words should be joined or separate, and it DOES make a difference. These structure of such words cannot be used interchangeably.

There are other things that just don't make sense such as a character being fed leeks for dinner towards the end of winter. No vegetables would be found in a medieval larder other than root vegetables which keep well. That would probably be potatoes, carrots, turnips etc. It is these type of things that make the story not believable. The author needs to pay attention to detail, as these type of minute details make the difference between a believable story and one that is not believable.

In these books it is as if she wrote these novels in modern language and times, with a few "dunna's" thrown in to try to make it sound authentic.

The stories are good, this writer shows promise--but there were at least 20 typos or other problems in Laiden's daughter ( I was not paying attention to comma placement in the first 3 books) 19 in Findley's Lass, 27 in Rowen's Lady, and a whopping 39 in Wee William's Woman when I also started making note of comma's used incorrectly. (I love being able to track problems with a kindle so that you can be specific in reviews.)

The author needs to employ a GOOD editor. One simply cannot edit their own books as the mind glosses over the mistakes, reading the book as the author meant it...the brain simply does not pick up on the mistakes.

I did enjoy reading these books, however, although I enjoyed Laiden's Daughter the most. Perhaps because I was new to the series or perhaps it is just a better story line. The characters are fun, the story lines good, but this author really should go through the books she has written and at the very least correct the plethora of typos etc. She has written so many books that total re-writes would be quite time consuming, but she needs to slow down and hone her craft, rather than churning out book after book with these kinds of problems in the,

I DO hope this author reads her reviews as she seems to be cranking out a lot of books...and unless she tackles the above issues, she'll never be considered a great writer. She'll just be another kindle writer, churning out mediocre books.

I'll not be falling for "oh, I just have to read the next one in the series" anymore. This author need to become more professional.

Exciting, Very Action-packed Novel

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

To date, this book has been my favorite from the author. This novel is very fast-moving, and chock full of action, suspense and surprises. This book is far from the traditional romance novel, although there is a romantic element as the main characters Rowan and Arlene secretly desire the other. The book starts with an account of Rowan's wife's death in the black plague and Arlene freshly married to a cruel man, who says he married her only at his father's insistence and that he plans to annul the marriage in 1 year and 1 month. The story then skips forward a year. We find that Arlene's husband has kidnapped a little girl. Arlene fearing he will kill the little girl, plots an escape for her and the girl. Once the action starts, it doesn't let up. The author does a very good job of character development, and makes quite believable the decisions the characters make. Even stupid decisions, such as when Rowan and Arlene both believe Lady Beatrice. By the end of the book, even Lady Beatrice's character is explained enough, that it's understandable why she concocted the long-shot plot to separate Rowan and Arlene, instead of the standard plot of evil would-be step-mother pretending to be nice to the child until the father is tricked into marriage (and the book is so much better for avoiding that predictable standard plot.) The "shadow-men" are more fully explained in this story, as is the results of their complete obsession with Scotland to the detriment of any individual. Unanswered questions left lingering from the book, why the cook had an all-consuming hatred of Arlene was never explained. Nor was it explained why Lady Beatrice saw Lady Arlene as a threat within moments of meeting her, nor why she was not initially suspected of the castle-wide drugging after her mistreatment of Lady Arlene came to light.
It's hard to get too much into the details of the best parts of the story, without giving spoilers, but I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes action & suspense, because this book has it all (kidnappings, conspiracies, impersonations, revenge, adult child trying to break free of a tyrannical parent, star-crossed lovers and the decision between love or duty, sibling surprise, attacks by hired mercenaries, etc.)
This book did seem a bit more poorly edited compared to previous books. There were many typos and inconsistencies. A major one was whether or not Arlene had any money. In more than one place it mentioned the money she would inherit when she turned 25, yet in several places it mentioned how she had no money and nothing to bring into the marriage. A more minor inconsistency was at the beginning of the book when she was thinking of her dad and thought "bless his heart" in regards to his arranging a marriage for her. However, in several other places in the book, its made clear that she knows her dad cares nothing about her and arranges marriages for her only to fatten his own wallet. Another was the book mentioning that Rowan had been alone for 7 years, even though his wife had only died 4 years ago. It also wasn't explained why Blackthorn's father wouldn't approve of his marriage to the woman he loved because she wasn't Scottish, yet he arranged a marriage with Arlene who also was not Scottish. While the poor editing was a bit annoying, the story itself is still excellent.

After reading laidens daughter I had to read this, and I loved it Rowan loved his wife but black death took her leaving him with a baby daughter. Four years later his daughter is taken she is held by a horrible man who will kill her for crying his wife who he hates and does not want takes a beating to love this child. She takes another beating which nearly kills her to protect the child. She returns the child and Rowan remembers the lady not only saved his daughter but his adopted dad and brother years before has they journey to his castle he begins to feel things he has not since his wife died. He longs for her and her him but a wicked woman wants them parted. This has everything you could want I loved every moment of it. It can be a brutal life but clans work together for peace. But there are always those not far away wishing others hurt. Such a good read.

Great and realistic chemistry

I really liked the first part of the Clan Graham series. The anguish Rowan felt was very well described. The growing attraction was plausible and not exaggerated. I would however recommend to read the four books of the Clan MacKenna Series since it makes much more fun reading and seeing all our favorite characters again.
