The Chief by Monica McCarty
2.0
I was hesitant to read this book because it sounded like it would be heavy on the politics, and although it wasn't as bad as I expected, I wasn't wrong.
It's the story of Tor MacLeod, a clan chief of the Western Isles, and Cristina Fraser, the woman he is forced to marry.
She is young and naive and remains so for most of the book, while Tor is aloof and distant, and most of the story that doesn't have to do with him and his warriors, revolves around Christina's efforts to get close to him that he rebuffs.
It did have that one moment of angst that I was looking for when, but it was way too little far too late by that point.
The series continues with [b:The Hawk|7379335|The Hawk (Highland Guard, #2)|Monica McCarty|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1351572353s/7379335.jpg|9216792], but I think I'll be skipping it, since I prefer the politics to romance ratio in my stories to be skewed towards the romance side and going by this first book, it won't be.
