For a free book on the Apple Bookstore, I didn’t hate it. It had some problematic plot points and character behavior but you gotta let some stuff slide for the sake of the spice.

This book in one sentence: Fierce scottish warrior Deirdre becomes engaged to Sir Pagan Cameliard, a norman knight who doesn't believe women should be allowed to fight; sparks ensue.
My rating: ⭐⭐
Steaminess: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Would I recommend: If you're really into historical romances, sure? It's not typically my favourite genre, but this one was available for free on Kobo. Be prepared for the overuse of the word "loins" and this kind of sex scene: "Like a pinecone exploding upon the fire, his body seemed to burst into a hundred bright sparks. The heat was excruciating, unbearable. Yet he craved its purifying fire.".
Tropes: enemies-to-lovers, insta-lust, racist caricature of an asian elder who just spurts words of wisdom, somehow pregnant after a few days...
Content warnings: questionnable consent during sex scenes

I liked the training and the fighting, but I had issues with Pagan's narrow-mindedness. I understood it, but it still irked me. I also really dislike when a male character says that the heroine is more complex than other females.

I didn't think I would like this book, but I did! I liked that she was a very independent woman and could fight. I am not into all the battle scenes so I got a bit bored with them, but loved how the youngest sister was not as weak as she seemed.

This book was hard to get through for me. It felt so slow and I couldn't get into the characters. But it was a free download. So it is what it is.

You know, it had the potential to be so cute and an awesome story, but to me there was no real fight. Deidre was fairly badass, I'll give you that, but she was swayed so easily! This guy comes in and starts bossing you around, treating you like a child, breaks your sword... and you go pout? ARE YOU SERIOUS?! Plus, you have this warrior chick and yet she's constantly demeaned in front of everyone by her husband. Granted, Pagan was a good guy in his own right, but come on. He was so overbearing and she just rolled over and took it aside from her little bouts of hysteria. Please. Not an awful worthless read, but not something I'd pass along either. If you're gonna write about a warrior woman, then write about a warrior woman.
