Reader Review: My heart really went out to Grace. I like that she was a plain Jane rather than the 'ideal' lady everyone fell in love with because of her beauty. Jane knew she wasn't beautiful but unfortunately that wasn't her only problem. She has a horrible skin condition as well as a limp. I felt like I was sharing her pain when she kept wishing she was something more, I honestly got teary. I don't think it bothered her much up until Lachlan came in to her life. Lachlan drove me up the wall! I couldn't understand his reasoning. He definately desired his wife from the start (despite the fact that he didn't think her beautiful) but I couldn't understand why he was kissing his mistress the minute he brought his wife home (in front of her). He let his mistress fondle him at the table while his wife was sitting beside him watching. He wouldn't let her leave the table. There was a scene where he took his mistress to his room for a 'romp' & didn't bother acknowleding his wife when he left the room with his mistress. Ok so he was angry & suspicious of her but why would he treat her like this? From what I could understand, the session didn't go any further because he was constantly reminded of his wife but I couldn't understand why he never cleared the air. What I couldn't understand even more was why Grace let it all happen & not say anything at all. How can she share his bed & turn a blind eye to his mistress? I didn't like that she never fought him on this matter & rarely showed outrage to it either. I was dumbstruck. I kept waiting for the moment in which he'd tell her he never had relations with the woman after he married her but he never did and she never asked for an explanation! I like the heroine to be strong of the mind, to make their husbands work for their hearts but Grace was far lacking. Lachlan not only humiliated her he also refused to trust her despite her many attempts at showing her loyalty. I felt no connection & no sexual tension between the two.
Ordered to marry, Laird Lachlan Kerr thought a betrothal to homely, timid Lady Grace Stanton was hardly worth the trouble of protest. Yet, despite everything, he found there was something about her that was...brave. All his life he had been surrounded by betrayal, and this woman, who believed there was still goodness in him, was special indeed.
Grace knew that the safety of her home depended on her betrothal--signed, sealed and delivered! Lachlan's strength and unexpected care of her were dangerously appealing. She could fall for this man with secrets in his eyes....

The Border Lord
August 1360—Grantley Manor, Clenmell, Durham, England.
-Lady Grace Stanton watched the man walking towards her. Tall, dark and beautiful.
She had not expected that.
This beauty worried her more than the danger that cloaked him or the distance he wore like a mantle, and when he finally stood before them and the dust of the horses had settled, she schooled her expression and looked up.
He was disappointed. She could see it in his eyes. Pale shadow blue with suspicion simmering just below the surface. Her heart sank and she felt the aching cold of his distrust. With a feigned smile she took his offered fingers into her own, hating her bitten-down nails and the way the red dryness on her skin looked against the brown smoothness of his.
She had been burdened with this complaint for the whole of her twenty-six years. But today at least the skin beneath her eyes was not crusty raw and weeping.
'Lady Grace.' He relinquished contact as soon as he had said her name.
'Kerr.' Her uncle was the Earl of Carrick and his tone was anything but welcoming, his furrowed gaze including the twenty or so clansmen who sat on horses behind Kerr. 'We expected you a week ago.'
'Ye have the priest, then?' Kerr cut in, dispensing completely with any pretence to manners.
'We do. Father O'Brian has come up from—"
'Then bring him here.'
'But my niece is not even dressed.'
'A dress is the least of her worries given the decree of my king.' His words were flat. Insolent, almost. Teetering on the edge of treason. As Grace looked around at her uncle, the harshness of light made him seem old; a man who had outgrown the demands of battle and wanted now to amble towards his dotage with some semblance of peace. When her glan

Reviewer: A reader from New York
Lachlan married the common Lady Grace out of duty to bring her dowry to his clan. However, he didn't plan on falling in love Grace or find her beautiful on the inside and desirable on the outside. Before, they could finally be together though they must overcome the secrets that kept them from being truly free.
