I was so excited to start this historical series by Maya Banks. Everything around me pretty much faded away while I got lost in this awesome world. A must read for sure!
Never Seduce a Scot (The Montgomerys and Armstrongs #1) by Maya Banks
Eveline Armstrong is fiercely loved and protected by her powerful clan, but outsiders consider her “touched.” Beautiful, fey, with a level, intent gaze, she doesn’t speak. No one, not even her family, knows that she cannot hear. Content with her life of seclusion, Eveline has taught herself to read lips and allows the outside world to view her as daft. But when an arranged marriage into a rival clan makes Graeme Montgomery her husband, Eveline accepts her duty—unprepared for the delights to come. Graeme is a rugged warrior with a voice so deep and powerful that his new bride can hear it, and hands and kisses so tender and skilled that he stirs her deepest passions.
Graeme is intrigued by the mysterious Eveline, whose silent lips are ripe with temptation and whose bright, intelligent eyes can see into his soul. As intimacy deepens, he learns her secret. But when clan rivalries and dark deeds threaten the wife he has only begun to cherish, the Scottish warrior will move heaven and earth to save the woman who has awakened his heart to the beautiful song of a rare and magical love.
5 out of 5 stars
I couldn't put this down! I thought it was a captivating and unique story with wonderful characters. I loved watching everything develop and the love between Graeme and Eveline grow. A truly wonderful read!
I was so caught up in everything, I pretty much blew off a day so I could sit and read and absorb every detail. I thought there was a great introduction really pulling me in from the start. Such an interesting situation Graeme and Eveline were in. I love how they met and how they got to know each other. I really enjoyed learning Eveline's history and what was going on with her. Graeme was amazing, sweet and patient and commanding but so kind. He did so many thing through out the story that made me fall more in love with him on every page. I loved Eveline’s grit and determination. She was a force and I found her refreshing. I loved their connection and watching them come together.
I was so excited while reading. I was lost to everything around me. I liked the conflict presented between the clans and all the tension and drama that was brought about. There were some tense moments that had me on the edge of my seat. There were sweet, fun moments as well mixed in with quite a few heartfelt and emotional ones too.
I really enjoyed the build and flow. I thought there were great details and descriptions of the time period. There was a wonderful cast of characters introduced and I love the world presented. Her brothers, his brothers and sister. I'm excited for the next one and to see where it all will go.
This had everything I love in a story. And that ending? Wow! So intense. Loved the drama and emotion. I kept thinking, this keeps getting better and better, and it so did. Excellent read!
