In the days of Wallace and Bruce,
two worlds and centuries collide on the breathtaking Isles of Orkney and Skye.
Cian MacKyleakin, known as the
dreaded Wolf of Moal has dedicated his life to fighting for Scotland, but when
his lineage is challenged, adding fuel to the rumors that are circulating
through the English court, Edward Longshanks declares that the only way he can
retain his lands is to marry the only daughter of the MacKinnons. But when
she’s found dead, things get complicated very quickly.
Isla MacKinnon, call sign Valkyrie,
is a CH-47 Helicopter pilot for the United States Army. Isla's helicopter is
attacked and crashes in the Afghan mountains. As the only survivor, she is
ordered by her doctor and her command to take R&R to recover. Instead, she
finds herself fighting for her life when a simple picnic on the beach turns
perilous.
Can these two fallen warriors find the passion
they need within each other’s embrace when they are from two different worlds
and centuries?
Angela’s Review:
Her Island Destiny by Annie Marshall is a time
travel romance set in 13th Century Scotland. Though this book can stand alone, Marshall’s
novellas Her Highland Destiny and Her Noble Destiny should not be missed.
The Scottish
Highlands and its history are already a magical setting on its own, but Ms.
Marshall’s story draws you even further in and by the time the book is
finished, the reader feels as though they have journeyed to the past
themselves.
Cian
MacKyleakin, with his giant seven foot frame was as powerful, as he was
vulnerable and it was refreshing to see such a brawny highland laird in that
light. However, this special man needed the right
woman and Annie didn’t disappoint with the heroine in this entertaining read.
I
absolutely loved Isla MacKinnon’s character, and loved how the author was able
to maintain the heroine’s strength, even while Isla had moments throughout the
book where she battled with PTSD, and the horrific memories of her past. Isla was a character I could completely
relate to, and my favorite scene was when she is being introduced to Cian’s
clan in Orkney. When she opts to be introduced as the Laird of
the MacKinnon, rather than Cian’s betrothed.
His response is priceless, and had me laughing out loud.
Her
Island Destiny was an amazingly fun read, and I was able to devour both
novellas and this read in a weekend. If
you’re looking for a great book that is packed with magic, action and romance Her Island Destiny by Annie
Marshall is a must read. I was pleased
to see it ended on a hanger………….that means that there is more to come from this
story and author. Absolutely loved it!!!
Good review, I need to add this one to my TBR :-)
