Explanation During Books The Secret (Highlands' Lairds #1)
Judith Hampton was as beautiful as she was proud, as purposeful as she was loyal. The dear Scottish friend of her childhood was about to give birth, and Judith had promised to be at her side. But there was another, private reason for the journey from her bleak English home to the Highlands to meet the father she had never known, the Laird Maclean. Nothing prepared her for the sight of the Scottish barbarian who was to escort her into his land...Iain Maitland, Laird of his clan, a man more powerfully compelling than any she had ever encountered. In a spirited clash of wills and customs, Judith revelled in the melting bliss of Iain's searching kisses, his passionate caresses. Perplexed by her sprightly defiance, bemused by her tender nature, Iain felt his soul growing into the light and warmth of her love. Surely nothing would wrench her from the affection and trust of Iain and his clan...not even the truth about her father, a devastating secret that could shatter the boldest alliance, and the most glorious of loves.Rating Of Books The Secret (Highlands' Lairds #1)

*2.5 STARS*I loved how the main character stood up for women's rights and everything, but there was literally no plot and it was hella boring :(20 years ago all I read was historical romance. Unfortunately I can't remember any of them except Gone with the Wind. So here I am a romance addict and I'm just now discovering Julie Garwood and all about the Alpha perfection of Scottish Highlanders. Iain just did it for me from the start. Brooding yet tender and kind. Funny and temperamental too. This story grabbed me at the prologue because one of my favorite things about any story is friendships between women. The secrets and bonds they share
I really LOVED The Secret and this will feature in my best 2017 reads. The book was poignant, romantic and it made me laugh often. The story opens with a beautiful, innocent friendship.Papa, am I damn Scots? You most certainly are not. Am I? Judith asked, her worry obvious in her voice. Youre English, Judith, her friends papa patiently explained. Am I damn English? Her friends papa was clearly exasperated. Nobodys damn anything,I loved the rapport among the women in this one. They were strong,

*** 4 ***A very sweet and pleasant Highlander Historical Romance! I enjoyed it exactly for what it was - a romance in a very difficult for women time. I know most of my GR friends get upset over the almost none existing female rights of those times and want all heroines to be strong, bold and independent, which would be absolutely absurd for their environment. Although I like the historical accurate portrayal of that, this book manages to successfully combine a close proximity to Historical
Delightful 4 starsThe Secret was a delight to read. I was easily swept into Julie Garwoods world of witty dialogue, enchanting characters, and feel good romance.I did, however, find it difficult to feel the connection and chemistry between Iain's and Judith's characters during the first half of the book. In fact, at times I felt there was more chemistry between Judith and Brodick than between Judith and Iain. Fortunately, by the end of the story I was a firm believer in Judith's and Iain's
I won't be writing a review but I will write a few of my thoughts on this book. As much as a I liked the light-hearted tone of this book, I also felt that Julie Garwood essentially just glossed over any drama or angst. It was almost like she wanted to simplify everything for us. The plot wasn't very sophisticated, but I enjoyed her writing and wit enough for the plot to not really matter. I was slightly disappointed in the ending. The ending of a romance novel is usually the best part of the
4.5 stars and it couldve been 5 if there was just a smidge more unglossed steam, otherwise its beautifully written and the characters bounce off the pages. Its the type of story you can lose yourself in and forget where you are despite the annoying microscopic print!Garwood does a fantastic job with the language in this book. She twists and turns simple things to make them all complicated and in the end its hilarious. There are so many parts left vague or unsaid and you keep on reading because
