Betrayed by lies before her birth, Aishlinn believes kind and honorable men do not exist. Raised in near seclusion by a cruel stepfather, she is traded to work at Castle Firth in Penrith England for the price of two sheep. When the despised Earl of Penrith attacks her late one night and attempts to rape her, Aishlinn stabs him in self-defense and flees England for the safety of the Scottish highlands. Surviving the horrific beating at the hands of the Earl, Aishlinn is rescued by a fierce band of highland warriors who swear their allegiance to her for killing the hated Earl--the same man who had destroyed their village and killed their families when they were boys. Duncan McEwan, future chief of the Clan MacDougall, has survived countless battles and bed innumerable women. He has scaled mountains, survived a horrific storm at sea and even hand-to-claw battle with a ferocious cat-o'mountain. But none of that could have prepared him for how his life is forever changed one fateful spring day when he rescues a very battered young woman. Together with his men, they risk everything to take her to the safety of their clan.She soon learns that kind and honorable men do exist and one in particular changes her heart forever. She discovers an inner strength and it will be tested to the limits when she is forced to make a heart wrenching decision--allow the English to kill those she loves or surrender for the crime she committed. With an intense code of honor Duncan must now battle the feelings for the beautiful Aishlinn. He will do anything to keep her as his own and he'll do anything to keep her out of the hands of the English.List Out Of Books Laiden's Daughter (Clan MacDougall #1)

First half was pretty good, if you can handle the damsel in distress.I think it fell apart at the end when this very small tiny woman that had no backbone at all in the beginning, suddenly turned into Xena warrior princess without any training swinging a sword. Way to silly.Lots of promise though as I did like the way the Hero and the other characters were written. But the inconsistencies with the heroine took this down a notch. All in all pretty average and I was a bit surprised at the highREADER BEWARE EXTREME PHYSICAL ABUSE TO THE HERIONE AISHLINN!!! This story starts out with extreme physical abuse to the Heroine Aishlinn. The beating and punching is so descriptive it made me SICK!! I could not read pass page 20 of this story. Rape or attempted rape does not make a romance story!!I read HR for the romantic nostalgia of the historical era. Not to be horrified because of the abuse inflected on the Aishlinn the heroine of the story.
Entertaining 14th Century Highlander RomanceThis was the authors first novel (and is book 1 in the Clan MacDougall series).It begins in 1329 in Northern England (prologue) as 5-year-old Aishlinns mother Laiden is buried. Then fifteen years later, in 1344, Aishlinn escapes a beating and near rape by an earl to run to Scotland where, she is told by a kind castle guard, she will find her people. She knew the man who raised her was not her real father, and that her brothers sold her into
lovedI love love this book it was very hard to push down truth when it ended it was sad caus Ethernet book was so good
I loved the first half of the book and the premise, but as the heroine healed, she seemed more immature and her actions at the end were hard to swallow. There were a lot of editing errors as well, simple typos like lightening for lightning, breath for breathe, etc. But I did like the writer's style and would try another one of her books. She writes heroes really well!
This was a gripping and emotionally charged story from the first page. The developing romance was engaging and tender. It was sweet torture how the author kept the hero and heroine apart but the anticipation made it all the more satisfying and passionate when they finally came together. Highly recommended to lovers of Scottish Historical/ Highlander romances.
Aishlin has spent her entire life being abused by her step-father and brothers. After escaping from being raped by an English lord, she runs into the Highlands and is rescued by a warrior, Duncan. As she slowly begins to heal and fall in love, the identity of her long-lost father is revealed and a shocking secret comes forth.This book was very well written (with only one historical howler) and was pretty clean; the sex scene is 3/4s of the way through the book and is on the wedding night.
