Oct 19, Linnette rated it it was amazing Shelves: I absolutely loved this book. Carol did a magnificent job. Her heroine is totally lovable and though the hero leaves something to be desired at various points in the book, you also feel his suffering and can't help but take him into your heart as Nola did. If you haven't read the previous books in the sequel, it's a little easy to get lost among all the names. Other than that, Carol does a wonderful job showing the frailty of Keifer's heart and how God guides him through life. I like that Keifer I absolutely loved this book.
I like that Keifer's troubled soul isn't dealt with in an instance. It show the reality of how God grows a us, slowly leading us to peace with Himself and peace with the life He has given.
In this book, peace is finally restored to Scotland and the entire series mirrors the struggle for peace in Keifer's heart. And while the ending scene in this book isn't a love scene, it is very fitting and satisfying. I love the way she tied everything up. This is going on my favorite book list!

But several adventures wait for keifer before he is free of the danger from his uncle and he can make a decision about his future. This series is a wonderful read, and I recommend it highly to anyone who loves Scottish history.
Dec 13, Kim Gregory rated it really liked it. I didn't read the first three books in this series and still didn't have a problem following the story. At first I was frustrated with the main character but had to keep reminding myself that he was but a boy and selfishness was to be expected. The author, even though writing the years quickly, showed his growth of character really well. I think I would have gotten more out of the story though had I read the other books first. I missed some of the nuances of the other characters and the parts th I didn't read the first three books in this series and still didn't have a problem following the story.
I missed some of the nuances of the other characters and the parts they played. I also missed the historical background that was set up in the former stories that I had to remember myself rather than getting from the first three stories. The title has three parts really, the promise of peace for a nation, for a clan, and for a man.
Mar 31, Teri-K rated it it was ok Shelves: Kiefer and Nola may be the most likable characters in this series. Unfortunately it feels like the author ran out of plot.
You have to read them all! So to make the story interesting, you need to create characters that are opposites. Is he willing to pay the price for this peace even if it should mean dying? Other books in the series. Its dramatic cliff-hanging episode, for example, is at once tense, ironic, feministic and erotic. In just a few easy steps below, you can become an online reviewer. And I have always loved to read about the early and tragic struggles of the Scots.
Since these aren't profound stories they depend on interesting events to keep me reading, and I'm having to force myself through this one. Not much happens here. As for the Christian element, it consists mostly of Keifer occasionally praying about whether he should marry or not. Jan 29, April rated it liked it Shelves: This book had parts that had me glued to the pages and other parts where I was skim reading.
So although I liked it just didn't wow me. Still it had good characters and life lessons on faith and love. Overall, found this to be a very enjoyable series. I would give the whole series a 4 Star rating. Mar 01, Janeen rated it really liked it. I think this one was my favorite of the four books!!! Sep 20, Rachelle rated it it was amazing. Once again I love this series. I wish there were more. This was the last one, maybe she will continue to make more. I highly recommend them for a quick sweet little read. Dec 11, J. Orchard rated it it was amazing.
All of the books in this series have kept me hooked to the end. They are a definite read. They are a read twice. Apr 03, Brooke rated it it was amazing. I was sad to see the series come to an end!
I truly enjoyed these books and hope to read more from this author soon.

Dec 25, Tracy rated it liked it. This delightful portrayal of a picturesque rural society, tinged with gentle humour and quiet irony, established Hardy as a writer. However, the novel is not merely a charming rural idyll. The double-plot, in which the lov Invite Hannibal Lecter into the palace of your mind and be invited into his mind palace in turn. Note the similarities in yours and his, the high vaulted chambers of your dreams, the shadowed halls, the locked storerooms where you dare not go, the scrap of half-forgotten music, the muffled cries from behind a wall.
