1322, Scotland
Rosalie Threston's
fortune-telling lies have caught up with her. Uprooted yet again, she's on the
run from a ruthless English noblewoman. She flees to Scotland and seeks refuge
in the arms of a laird's son who happens to be a real Seer.
A bloody past and
inevitable future plague Domhnall Montgomerie. He avoids physical contact with
others to ease the painful visions. When an accidental touch reveals only
delight, he wonders if Rose is the key to silencing the Sight. Mystical
awakening unravels with each kiss. But can Domhnall embrace his gift in time to
save her life, even it means exposing her lies?
read an excerpt...
She drew his hand into her palm. Her pulse drummed in her
ears. Breathe, Rose. Breathe. His fingers trembled in her hand but neither of
them released the look. She tried to convey trust and understanding with her
own gentle smile. When he seemed settled, she turned her gaze to his hand.
After a pause, she said, “It is as I said. Air is your element.”
“What else do you see?” He leaned in, closer. Sweat, sage, hmmm…male? Was male a scent?
Feeling his eyes upon hers, she continued to scrutinize, drawing light touches over the mounds. “You’re somewhat content, though you spend hours alone to get away?”
He held a straight face. “Easy enough facts to guess. I’m a watchman. Fortune-tellers are good in their ploy.” She refrained from arguing. He was on the defense. Understandable. Most people were. He was correct after all. She stroked his fingers. Pretended to examine. His hands were ice-cold.
All right, memory. Time to shine. The marketplace fire, something from his youth. Domhnall liked animals. Seemed to not like fire or touch. She chanced the next statement. “Something in your past upsets you.” Again, stone-faced. At least his hand had stopped trembling.
She would throw out statements until one stuck. Had she been incorrect in her eavesdropping? Surely the servants had been gossiping about Domhnall.
He chewed his lip. Held her gaze.
She paused and pushed the candle closer. “To see better.”
He flinched.
Yes. Fire. It bothered him.
My Review...
This book contained a little of several genres. Having been
written by Jean M. Grant I was not surprised. The reason for this is because I
always say I am not really a romance reader and yet her books have so much in
their storyline that I can’t put them down. A Hundred Lies was no different.
I have read another of the author’s books but not in this
series. Though I knew there were two previous books in this series, I can’t say
there was anything that left me hanging. This is a great stand-alone. The history
and the descriptive writing seem to set you down right in Scotland. As always,
the characters are people you would like to meet and somehow Jean M. Grant even
makes this black and white thinker/reviewer enjoy the parts of the paranormal
in this story.
It just flows well, both the storyline and the words. I have
a feeling for some reason that this must be the personality of this author.
Can’t explain that but the writing almost seems like it flows from the heart.

ReplyDeleteThe book is really well written and your review is fabulous. It should have more readers. For this book, it needs to follow a different marketing strategy to get the desired response, which will drive to sell more books.
ReplyDeleteI read this book before but I can read this book again and again. So, if anyone want to read books several times they can purchase form PLR ebooks. There they can resell the purchased book and earn money. And they can also purchase many digital products and resell them.
