About this ebook
First in the series set in medieval Scotland by the award-winning author. “Sensual and humorous, a winning combination that everyone can enjoy.”—Hannah Howell, New York Times bestselling author
Bound by Duty
Highland laird Conor McTiernay had always dreamed of an enduring love. But the reality of women who desired him only for his title and lands made him swear off marriage forever. That is until he first set eyes on the Englishwoman his men found hiding in the forest. Beneath the dirt and grime it was clear Laurel Cordell was beautiful. But would she prove to be yet another beguiling seductress or had Conor finally found the one woman who could lay claim to his heart?
Drawn by Desire
Laurel trusted that the Scottish chieftain would keep her safe from the cruel laird from whom she had escaped. Looking deep into Conor’s silver eyes she saw not only his calculating warrior ways but his quick arousal to passion. But before they could explore the growing desire between them, their newfound love would be threatened by secrets from her past . . .
“A little gem of love and innocence . . . a story of two people learning to believe and trust in the miracle of love.”—Fresh Fiction
“Debut author Sinclair shows great potential at crafting rapid-fire verbal repartee and endearing characters.”—RT Book Reviews
“An emotionally charged engrossing read . . . Historical romance fans are in for a treat with this page-turner, and will be left anticipating Sinclair’s next novel.”—Romance Junkies

The prose were pedestrian and lacked any subtlety. The story line was standard and could have worked if the author had done sufficient research into the sensibilities of lairds of that time period. She often used modern ideals to promote the plot, rather than historically timely ideals. Additionally, every thought of every character was overtly described, this made me feel like I was a dimwit in need of simplistic explainations.

I was loving the first part of the book and could not put it down.
Unfortunately the book went south from there on. I had difficulty finishing
the book. And shipped over several parts. I went from loving to truly
disliking the female character. Her pride was over the top and made her
hero look like a wimp not a strong Laird. Parts of the book such as the
birth and the face off of the villains were skimmed over , while Laurals
extremely unreasonable trantrums where too lengthy. Truly disappointing

im at the third chapter and finding it hard to keep focus. i can't wrap my head around the fact that they seem head over heels for each other after only a few days. Romance feels a bit forced to me.
