Description
Grieving from the death of his wife, Lord Colin Campbell listens to the cries of his newborn son whilst penning a missive to the king. With no marriage prospects, Colin petitions his majesty for help in finding a stepmother. Never again will he fall in love—the death of a woman brings more pain than losing a whole contingent of men on the battlefield.
Feisty, quick tongued and smart, Margaret Robinson is delighted when her father receives a messenger from the king . . . until she discovers what news he brings. In a sennight, she will wed the notorious Black Knight—her life is about to end.
Tension builds during the wedding and deteriorates from there . . . until an accident draws them together. Just when their love begins to blossom, a dire request arrives from the Pope. Colin must join the Crusades at once.
Their fragile love is forced to withstand the seductions of hell—Margaret tempted by a scoundrel laird—Colin courted by Satan himself. Aye, the war for Christendom could very well ruin their dreams forever.

Despite the time that passes by in this story, it kept me listening. Dave Gillies was again a great narrator. His change in voice for each character gave the story a personality. This is another great story by Amy Jarecki. Margaret and Colin suffered a lot in this book, but the homecoming was a tear-jerker and made my heart ache for them. Margaret was a very independent and smart woman, and managed to keep her life together. Once Colin got to know Margaret, he was more kind and considerate. Their love prevailed in the end, for which I am glad. This is a story that I highly recommend.
I received an audiobook as a gift, and this is my unsolicited review.
