Review

"Mecca takes us back to the Borderland to learn the story of Clan Chief Graeme de Sowlis and Lady Gillian Lyndwood. What follows is a lust-filled adventure that just might turn into love. Despite this being the sixth book in the series, Mecca still finds ways to make each story unique, with this latest installment as enjoyable as the first." - Library Journal
This book is amazing. The story is wonderfully woven into a riveting tale of highland love. This book is a keeper, to be read again and again.

Cecelia Mecca is a kick arse author. I love this series. When a new book comes out it is like revisiting old friends that you haven't seen for a while.

For those out there who have not yet read a Mecca book, you cannot go wrong.

Cecelia Mecca has again written an amazing story that will pull you in with her wonderful prose and vivid descriptions.

The scenes are painted vividly, making you feel you're there. It's an emotional, romantic book that captured and held me from start to finish.

This story is emotional and devours you as you read it, tearing yourself from the book is not an option.

Cecelia Mecca continues to set the bar high on historical romance with her vivid character and historical descriptions. Be still my heart. Readers of this series have been waiting for the story of Graeme de Sowlis, who in previous stories, has been disappointed by two ladies who chose other men. With his confidence level low, he is determined not to fall in love and get hurt again. He has focused on being a worthy laid for his clan and promoting peace in the borders between Scotland and England. While visiting Kenshire Castle in England for the May Day celebration, he spies Gillian Bowman, who has been made Queen of the day. One thing leads to another and he is caught kissing Gillian in an unexpected encounter. Being the honorable person he is, he is determined to marry her. A handsome Scottish warrior and a beautiful young woman? What could be so bad?
Gillian has agreed to marry the Earl of Covington, a rich elderly man, to please her father and help save their home. When she is caught with Graeme, she is mortified but has no choice but to marry him. This is where the story begins to tug at your heart.
Can Graeme let go of past hurts and give his heart to Gillian? Can she trust him to be honest and help with her family while not breaking her heart? There were so many emotions and wonderful secondary characters that played important parts in this tale. I loved seeing the story unfold as Graeme fought to stay distant from Gillian and not fall in love with her. They were so right for each other and passionate in their desires.
With each story I have read in this series, I think it is the best one. But I loved this story and could not put it down. Yes I stayed up until 3:00 in the morning! This entire series is on my to be read again shelf and I cannot wait for the next installment!!

I enjoyed this tale,about the border between Scotland and England, and the difficulties living there way back when. The couple who marry and fall in love are interesting and seemed real, plus it had a good ending.

Awe finally Graeme , after 2 other tries, gets his HEA! Tall, handsome warrior meets beautiful, loyal May Day queen (who he just happened to crown). Love how they met in the garden, ha ha. He’s now done with trying to marry and she’s betrothed to an awful, old earl. But when you kiss and get caught that’s when the forced marriage comes in - along with self doubts, border conflicts, etc. etc. I also loved Graeme’s brother Aidan and his humorous interactions with his new “sister” Gillian. Great read! Thanks Cecelia!

I really enjoyed Graeme and Gillian. I really didn't think Graeme was for the most part cold and standoffish from Gillian. I think it could be said it went both ways. I thought he was warm and kind almost the entire time with the exception of when she decided they needed to get to know each other without having sex. Then he struggled with his feelings until they became clear. Also, I need to say that with all the talk about how honorable he was it didn't seem to bother him to bed all the serving girls. Plus, I really wanted to see Agnes get a little comeuppance. The other thing was the beginning of this story led us to believe Gillian had never met Emma before. But, in the Scott's Secret, Emma was coming from an extended stay at Gillian's. It doesn't affect this story but is just something I noticed.

3.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 STARS - DIFFERENT
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2018

I've read 1/2 the books in the series and this one reminded me of book 1. They rarely spend any time together which then is hard to feel a connection to this couple. Our H doesn't give his whole self to the h because he was been rejected twice before. HELLO! The h is your wife, and not going to back out of the marriage. It was frustrating to see how long he kept this up, over 3/4 of the story. He keeps finding reasons to leave because he can't face being rejected. When he could send others out instead - another reason he didn't act like a chief of the clan but a wimp.

There is some suspense, and was nice seeing couples from previous stories. The secondary character's are interesting and added to the story.

There is lovemaking - maybe 4 out of 5 heat level within marriage. We get HEA, no cliffhanger and no cheating. The romance is really not a big part of the story. I did enjoy how they met which was different. (ljb)

I am not going into the premise, as many have explained it plus the blurb. Just what you may discover reading it. (ljb)

As always, Cecelia Mecca has a engaging tale that brings out the uncertainties of human emotions so well. I found the chemistry between Graeme and Gillian a bit lacking from that of the preceding book, but again, their circumstances were completely different and here Graeme and Gillian found their mutual trust and love gradually, through ups and downs. And as always, I love the secondary characters of her stories and look forward to new stories with them.
