[Bookring] The Legend
6 journalers for this copy...
Amazon special offer, bought "The Legend" and The Destiny" at a venture.
From Publishers Weekly
Set during the late 1600s amidst the conflict between James II and William and Mary, a period that Givens (Kilgannon) is obviously at home with, this saga follows identical twins James and Neil MacCurrie as they lead their clan to war and then peace. Adeptly intertwining history with romance, this book, the first of two about the brothers, focuses on James, who takes Neil's place at a gathering of chiefs to discuss whether to go to war against William. En route to the meeting, James rescues plucky Ellen Graham from unknown attackers. Ellen must reach the meeting to alert her cousin of a murder plot she overheard at her stepfather's home. After delivering her warning, she agrees to travel with James to safety, but when they are accosted once again, he takes her to his home. While the chemistry between James and Ellen crackles, the relationship between the brothers is put to the test. At one point, Neil, jealous of Ellen's growing importance to James, encourages her to leave, but inevitably, James finds her and handfasts with her. Givens spends almost as much time outlining the country's political affairs as she does the relationships between James, Ellen and Neil, but readers unfamiliar with highland romances will appreciate the history lesson.

Got the books (The Destiny & The Legend) sent by post. Hope to enjoy it within the next weeks, but please be patient, because I'm moving at the moment.
EDIT:
Okay, I've read it. Nice, but so predictable from the very first pages that it didn't impress me much. Only being in Scotland last year and seeing all the beautiful places again in my brains while reading this story made it quite a bit better.
Still haven't read the second, but I think I will send them further because there are so many other books waiting for me.
