Entertaining historical read. Intriguing and interesting story full of drama, lies, secrets, and romance. Wonderful characters to follow through the story. Good read. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Not everything is how it appears. You will understand what I am saying when you read this book and you must read it! If My Heart Could See You by Sherry Ewing is book 1 in The MacLaren's series. To be honest this is the first book I have read of Sherry’s but I can tell you it won’t be the last and I am so looking forward to reading book 2. Sherry has such an amazing way of writing the littlest details so that you get the full picture and story. Her characters are just wonderful and you can’t help falling in love with them as you travel back to 1174 Scotland’s border. This story has betrayal, evil, greed, death, battles, capture, jealousy, kindness, duty, understanding, rape, forgiveness and yes love. What a great read! I highly recommend this book you won’t be disappointed. ***This book was gifted to me and I am voluntarily reviewing.

Strong-willed female meets conquering alpha male; only he doesn't know she's a woman! Twelfth century restrictions have no hold on this female - she wears britches and armor, can skillfully handle a sword, and keeps her alpha male on his toes. A great mix of romance, suspense and humor. You won't want to put it down!

Apostrophes are for possession, not plurals! Story line was possible, but the incorrect grammar and word choices were very jarring.

I really enjoyed this book very much and would recommend it to those who like a lot of romance entwined with a lot of adventure, evil plots, heros, villains, and others! The characters are presented well and come to life quite easily. The story flowed very well and there were no “dry spells”. Only a few grammatical misspellings. It was a somewhat long book, but was never boring at all, and there were natural breaks that made it easier to put it down and go to bed! Not a book I could have read in a day! I think it was better that way, for I found myself thinking of the story and “savoring" the characters. Again, I really liked the story and would recommend it.
