Kelly’s review of A Perfect Knight For Love by Jackie Ivie

 A Perfect Knight
AUTHOR: Jackie Ivie
PUBLICATION DATE:   09/04/12
ORDER LINK:  Amazon | B&N

BOOK SYNOPSIS:
Deep in the Scottish Highlands, a stalwart clansman and a wayward bride confront duty and desire…

A Man of Misfortune

With his reckless, drunken brother bringing ruin to the clan, and the lass he’s loved all his life in the clutches of a violent husband, the last thing Thayne MacGowan needs is a spirited, sharp-tongued damsel to contend with—no matter how enticing she may be…

A Woman With A Secret

Having narrowly escaped an objectionable arranged marriage, Amalie is starting a new life—with a new identity. But her freedom is cut short when a surly but irresistibly handsome Highlander is forced to take her as his bride. If only he knew who she really was…

An Unlikely Love

Fate designs an improbable match, and a battle of wills ensues. As Amalie struggles to protect her identity, Thayne finds himself fighting for an unexpected love—and a passion neither can refuse

REVIEW:
Ok, I have to admit I am not overly wild about Highlander books.  Yes, I know many of you are.  And I can kinda see the appeal, but there is something about them that I just can not engage with.  I am not sure if it is the dialog or just the world in general.  So take my review with a grain of salt.

Thayne is a bit, okay a lot, of an ass as a hero.  Not only does he force Amalie to go along with his plan, when she saves his back he is not very greatful.  Not only does he use the whole “I am the lesser of two evils” link on her over and over again, when he finally gets what he is after he is not very nice about it.  I tried to like Thayne, I really did.  And at times I thought that maybe this is the time that he is going to turn around, but sadly it took the whole book right up to the very last page for me to finally kinda like the guy.

If you are a fan of Jackie Ivie or love Highlander books I am sure you will enjoy A Perfect Knight, but for me it just was not my cup of tea.

I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
This review is my opinion and not a paid review.
