BOOK SYNOPSIS
Blackmailed into marriage with her family’s enemy then swiftly widowed, Lady Sorcha is left in charge of a clan she hates as much as they hate her. She considers fleeing to her childhood home. Before she can decide, fate intervenes in the form of her husband’s twin—the one man she truly loved—the one man alive who betrayed her.
Sir Colin Marr left his highland home believing he would never again see the woman he loved. Returning in search of traitors to Scotland, he discovers Sorcha MacKai is now his brother’s widow. Colin convinces her to help him find the traitors, but can he convince her to trust him with her heart.

EXCERPT
Colin wanted her to believe that he was truly happy for her. And he was. It was just … Better nae put too much into precise thought, lest he speak his mind.
“Regardless of my hopes, I may nae be able to return for some time,” he hedged, unable to admit even to himself how much he regretted leaving. If only she wasna to wed Brice. “Please, I beg you, grant me a kiss of peace to bless my travels?”
“Of course. When Brice and I are married, I’ll have the Strathnaver priest say masses for you every week, as well.”
“Thank you.” He stood, pulling her up with him.
She tilted her face, and he lowered his mouth to hers.
He intended only the lightest brush of lips, but she lifted herself onto her toes in the same moment, and her soft flesh yielded beneath the added pressure. She opened, and impulsively, he took the chance to taste her, to lick and savor her sweetness.
Her arms went around his neck, and she answered his advance with an artless passion that he wanted to believe came from her heart. She trembled against him. He embraced her, crushing her breasts to his chest. Her tongue’s small forays tantalized him. Desire raced in his heart, and his head swam. Could she love me? How could that be? He dinna know, but he would share this joy with her for as long as heaven allowed.
“Brother, release my betrothed.” Audible but slurred, the menacing whisper pricked his ears the way Brice’s blade stung Colin’s neck.
MY REVIEW:
KNIGHT PROTECTOR IS A SCOTTISH MEDIEVAL AND HISTORICAL ROMANCE. THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK I HAVE READ BY RUE ALLYN AND IT WON'T BE THE LAST ONE I READ OF HERS. I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED KNIGHT PROTECTOR. WE ARE INTRODUCED TO LADY SORCHA WHO IS BLACKMAILED BY SIR COLIN'S TWIN BROTHER INTO MARRIAGE TO SAVE HER FAMILY. WHEN SIR COLIN RETURNS AND WANTS TO PRETEND TO BE HIS BROTHER SO HE CAN FIGURE OUT WHO THE TRAITORS ARE TO SCOTLAND SINCE HIS BROTHER WAS WORKING WITH THEM. SORCHA GOES ALONG WITH IT KNOWING SHE WILL BE ABLE TO RETURN HOME TO HER FAMILY. AS THEY SEARCH FOR THE TRAITORS, WILL SORCHA AND COLIN LEARN TO TRUST EACH OTHER? WILL THEY BE ABLE TO FIGHT THEIR ATTRACTION?
SORCHA HATES COLIN'S FAMILY AND HER ONLY DESIRE IS TO BE RELEASED AND TO RETURN HOME TO HER FAMILY. AT ONE TIME, SHE THROUGH SHE LOVED BRICE BUT THEN COLIN KISSED HER AND EVERYTHING CHANGED. COLIN WANTS TO FIND THE TRAITORS OF SCOTLAND AND TO ALSO PROTECT SORCHA WHO HE HAS ALWAYS HAD FEELINGS FOR. THEIR CHEMISTRY IS UNMISTAKABLE AND THE FEELINGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THERE BETWEEN SORCHA AND COLIN. SORCHA AND COLIN ARE VERY STRONG CHARACTERS AND I ENJOYED THE CONSTANT BICKERING BETWEEN THEM AND ALSO THEIR PASSIONATE MOMENTS.
KNIGHT PROTECTOR IS A MUST READ IF YOU ARE FAN OF MEDIEVAL OR HISTORICAL ROMANCES. THERE ARE A LOT OF SURPRISES IN THE STORY SOME YOU EXPECT AND SOME YOU DON'T. THERE IS CONSTANT ACTION AND ALWAYS SOMETHING HAPPENING IN THE STORY. I ENJOY RUE'S WRITING AND HER CHARACTERS. THEY ARE VERY WELL DEVELOPED AND BELIEVABLE AND THEIR IS CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THEM. I ENJOYED THE STORYLINE AND RUE'S WRITING AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING THE NEXT BOOK IN THE SERIES. 5 STARS
AUTHOR BIO
Author of historical, contemporary and erotic romances, I fell in love with happily ever after the day I heard my first story. (Yes, I was a precocious little brat who read at the age of two, but I could hear much earlier than that.) I studied literature for far too many years before discovering that writing stories was much more fun than analyzing them. Heck, as an author, I get to read the story before anyone else. I am happily married to my sweetheart of many, many years. My husband and I share our home with our cat Junior, who condescends to allow me to feed him and clean his litter box. (Junior only tolerates my husband's assistance when I am not available.) He occasionally permits me to pet him but demands my love and attention as his right (Junior, that is, not my husband. Although now that I think about it . . . . Let's just leave that an ambiguouse conundrum for readers to ask me about when you meet me.) To continue, I am in awe of Junior's feline ability to dominate with half a glance or a mere twitch of tail. Insatiably curious, an avid reader and traveler (me--not Junior).
I love to hear from readers about your favorite books and real life adventures. Crazy Cat stories are always welcome. You can send me your words of wisdom . . . Don't shake your head at me; all words are wise in one context or another. You can trust me on this; I'm an author. As I was saying, you can send your words of wisdom, humor, and friendship to me at contact@RueAllyn.com. Can't wait to hear from you.
