In protecting the King of
Scotland, Graeme Cameron will do whatever it takes to ensure Robert the Bruce’s
safety. He and his comrades become the victim of circumstance and are now
exiled. As they hide, they realize others are worse off than they and hire
themselves out as mercenaries.
Kerrigan Campbell is desperate
to find her laird and protector’s son. Then she hears of the legendary king’s

duty, aiding the sweet lass in recovering her charge, finding the bairn’s
mother, helping their king defeat England’s army, and gaining a pardon for
their involvement in the king’s misdoings. There’s one challenge that thwarts
him and that’s Kerrigan. She’s conquered his heart and more …

Vikki’s Musings
First, I want to apologize to Ms. Griffin for taking longer
to read Conquered Heart, but my own writing career has kept me
extremely busy over the last four months. I thank her for the honor to read her
suspenseful Medieval romance. I’m not going to include a short synopsis since
the book description gives one quite nicely.
Conquered Heart is a fast-paced, well-written historical
romance. Ms. Griffin gave me the opportunity to have a glimpse into the
Scottish fight for independence and the life of Robert the Bruce. She
definitely did her research.
Kerrigan Campbell is an engaging character, and I became
enmeshed in the heroine’s story from her introduction. She is a caring, loving
woman with plenty of courage and daring. Her determination to fulfill her late
laird’s dying request–at great cost, I might add–is truly remarkable and that
alone made her a worthy heroine.
Graeme Cameron’s character is my kind of hero. He is, of
course, a brave, fierce warrior. That is what I expect from a Scottish
highlander, yet underneath his exterior, he has a kind, caring heart. Even
though he has had his share of struggles, he is still willing to open his heart
to Kerrigan. I loved his protectiveness toward her and felt his anguish when he
thought he had lost her.
If you enjoy Medieval romances set in the highlands of
Scotland with brave, loyal heroes and heroines, then you will enjoy Conquered
Heart as much as I did. This is the first book in the series, and I
look forward to reading Liam’s story in Unbreakable Heart. Happy reading!
