Forced to take the place of her deceased cousin, Eilis is faced with a moral dilemma. Go through with the deceit and pretend she is her cousin? Or find a way to get out – at any cost? For her, the answer is obvious. <br /><br />Free-spirited and intelligent, Eilis is not happy about having to pretend to be another. She’s too wrapped up in just being her. Despite the era in which she lives, she is very much her own person with her own thoughts and opinions, which was not the norm back then. However, she handles herself well. Much too often, a heroine of Eilis’ caliber comes off as snotty, spoiled, or just plain obnoxious. The author does a wonderful job of melding her free spirit with the constraints of society in the twelfth century. <br /><br />James MacNeill, on the other hand, is everything you expect a Laird to be – and more. He’s tough, he’s smart, and he’s tough as nails. However, he balances it well with a great sense of humor and a true love of his people. When the mysterious Eilis is thrust upon his household, he approaches her with both caution and interest. And this mixture of restraint and undeniable attraction is what makes Eilis and James such an explosive couple. They both know that they should hold back and yet, they can’t. It’s classic and it works. <br /><br />If you’re in the mood for a great historical novel full of laughs, plotting and adventure, then <em>The Accidental Highland Hero</em> is the book for you. Between the cast of amusing characters, the politics between clans, and the budding romance between washed up maiden and Laird of the castle, you will not have a chance to get bored! </div> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2"><img src="http://terryspear.tripod.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" alt="" width="10" height="20" /></td> </tr><tr valign="top"><td width="10"><img src="http://terryspear.tripod.com/imagelib/sitebuilder/layout/spacer.gif" alt="" width="10" height="20" /></td> <td bgcolor="#cccccc" width="740"> <p><font color="#000000" size="2"><br /></font></p></td></tr></tbody></table>
