The latest offer is from Ronan MacRuari. MacKenzie is honor bound to accept the offer no matter how much he does not want to. Ronan is cursed. Ronan’s two previous have mysteriously died. He loves Gelis very much and tries to protect her by avoiding her. Gelis has seen the future and knows she will help her husband break the curse

Sue-Ellen Welfonder's Seducing a Scottish Bride is a good read for anyone who likes highland romance with a mystical twist. Gelis and Raven are likeable characters and their chemistry keeps the reader turning the page.This reader had difficulty at times keeping up with all the otherworldly secondary players but all in all found the book to be quite entertainning.Like Gelis I found Raven hard to resist. I would recommend this book to any fan of historical romance.

Ronan MacRuari finds himself betrothed to the fiery-spirited Gelis, daughter of the Black Stag of Kintail, Duncan MacKenzie, when his grandfather propositions Duncan to pay back a debt inquired years past by giving his youngest daughter to the Raven, Ronan MacRuari. Thinking it best to keep her at a distance in hopes she leaves the blighted, cursed land his clan occupies, he attempts to deny her. He fears her fate will be no different than his two previous wives...an early death due to the curse he and his clan carry upon their shoulders.

But the stubborn lass refuses to see things as Ronan does, not after discovering she has the same Second Sight as her mother, Linnet. After having a vision of the Raven, Ronan MacRuari, she is determined that she is the one to save him and his clan from the evil that haunts them. He needs her and she will have it no other way.

The mystery of the curse upon the MacRuaris slowly unfurls throughout the story, but you don't really know until the end. I enjoyed that bit of crypticness that carried throughout the book. I think Sue-Ellen writes such wonderful descriptions of the land of Scotland. The heather strewn hills. The mist clouded Lochs and mountains. The life she breaths back into the castle ruins of today, giving them back the life they had in their time of greatness. I love reading her books because you can feel how much that land means to her. She always adds a bit of lore that I find interesting. I enjoy reading her books for more than the romance, I love being swept away to that medieval time.
