The Thief
Borderland Brides #2
Allison Butler
Reviewed by Helen
Who doesn’t love a man in a kilt, a strong caring man, maybe a quiet woman known for her caring ways but is mostly unknown but time might show her different when she is caught stealing said man’s horse and ends up his bride, this is a page turner of a story a sensual moving and fabulous story, one that was hard to put down.
Lachlan Elliot is Laird and had made a promise to his dying father to take a bride and to father an heir but he does not want to fall in love so in picking a bride it will be one that he will have no emotional ties too when he catches a lass with his horse he determines that he could never love her and his first promise will be solved. But of course life doesn’t always go as planned and his new spirited wife is slowly getting under his skin.
Kenzie has been left alone by her father and sister and is happy that way she is not fond of men in general and has been helping a group of women and children struggling and this is when she is caught red handed, her capture by the neighbouring Laird gives her two choices and marriage is one and the only real choice she has, but she is more determined than ever to remain strong and do as she has been. It is not long before she sees that her husband Lachlan is not like the other men she has known and she is losing her heart to him.
I loved this story so much both Lachlan and Kenzie are strong, loving and caring and seeing them fall in love was so beautiful and heartwarming. Kenzie is feisty and independent and Lachlan was with her all of the way caring and strong, there is witty banter and a sensual romance that had me cheering them on, it is a beautifully written story one that I would highly recommend this one, it left me smiling, thank you MS Butler for another wonderful story.
