About the Book: A shipwrecked son of a clan chieftain, Monroe hides his full identity from the young lass who saves him from the waves, and her brothers. An attack by seafaring warriors puts all their lives in danger and the resulting deaths place a shadow over the upcoming Christmas Festivities. Leading Gwyn and her family toward his home far from the coast of Scotland’s North Sea could be a mistake yet be the only way to keep them all alive.
Our Review: this rollicking
adventure features poor as a church mouse Gwynn who, while out foraging for
firewood to keep the home fires burning—literally if not figuratively—she
encounters a shipwreck. With the dead strewn over the beach, she does not run
from the blood and gore, but discovers one of the men is still alive—and sets out
to save him—if not from other raiders, then her ne’er do well siblings. Gwynn
is clever, intrepid and brave beyond her years. Monroe, destined to become
laird of his clan—should he make it back home alive and in one piece—protects
Gwynn and her family when raiders descend. This plunges all into a race for
survival, as well as a forever love.
Based on a
scale of 1-5, A Gift From the Sea merits a 5.
