His Wicked Promise

By Samantha James

He would take her as his bride...but could she give her heart in return?

When Egan MacBain takes beautiful Glenda MacKay as his bride, it appears that he's done so for the noblest of reasons. In truth, he has vowed at last to claim the woman he's always loved--yet once lost--to another man. But the rugged Highlander is determined to keep his passion hidden while he woos her with his gentle caress and wicked kisses. For he will not have an unwilling wife and will only show his tenderness once she is tamed.

Although Glenda has agreed to the marriage, she's only done so to gain the protection of Egan's name. Yet this young widow of the once-powerful clan MacKay never expected that vows of love would leave her lips again, nor did she believe she'd ever hold any man so dear. But suddenly she finds herself succumbing to the strong, silent warrior who fills her with trepidations and a fevered, forbidden yearning to fulfill his wicked promise of the love--and the child--she aches for in the depths of the soul.

Samantha James

It was Samantha James's love of reading as a child that steered her toward a writing career. Among her favorites in those days were the Trixie Belden and Cherry Ames series of books. She still loves a blend of mystery and romance, and, of course, a happily-ever-after ending. The award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of many romances and one novella, her books have ranged from medieval to Regency.

Reviews for His Wicked Promise

[Shoregirl2 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The story was good, but I felt it dragged just a little too much in the beginning, and it felt a little repetitious, with the heroine not letting go of the past. The 2nd half was much better.

This book was the first book I've read by Ms. James. I found the book a little slow moving and the heroine a little ungrateful in parts but overall I thought it was a decent/good scottish romance novel and was entertained enough by it to buy Ms. James books in the future.
