Two brothers fight to claim one father's blessing.
Two sisters long to claim one man's heart.
In the autumn of 1788, amid the moors and glens of the Scottish Lowlands, two brothers and two sisters each embark on a painful journey of discovery.
Jamie and Evan McKie both want their father Alec's flocks and lands, yet only one brother will inherit Glentrool. Leana and Rose McBride both yearn to catch the eye of the same handsome lad, yet only one sister will be his bride.
A thorny love triangle emerges, plagued by lies and deception, jealousy and desire, betrayal and broken promises. Brimming with passion and drama, Thorn in My Heart brings the past to vibrant life, revealing spiritual truths that transcend time and penetrate the deepest places of the heart.
Though these books are what I consider "fluff", the stories were interesting enough that I found myself gobbling them up...even staying up late a few times to finish a chapter or two. I'm not really a big fan of the Romance genre, but I love historical fiction. I wasn't sure about an author so blatantly stealing a story (sheesh, if I could do that I could be a prolific author too!) but her characterization was good, and it was interesting to see a traditional Biblical story in a new light.
I see she's written a fourth book about the next generation of McKies, I may just have to pick it up.

Sometimes fluff is good. Escapism. It's a beautiful thing.
I liked the first book in the series the best.
Maybe . . . just maybe you'll like my historical fiction. :) Blood and bullets,a massacre, but I must admit there's romance there too. I find it helps pull people through a story I want to tell them. If I tease them along to that kiss at the end then maybe I can preach to them. :) Dear God I hope so.
