Merrick MacLochlainn is the high chieftain of his clan. He must travel forward in time to protect his people. Upon finding the locket from her parents gone, Jenny heads out to reclaim it. Merrick saves her from thieves and he is hurt in the process. They are saved by gypsies and Jenny claims him as her husband. Jenny Keating claims to be his wife but he has no memory of her or his mission.
Merrick is the epitome of a yummy hero. Powerful, brave, loyal and handsome are words that describe him to a T. He is a man who finds himself torn between his wife and his people. Merrick has traveled through time to find the sacred stone that will save his clan but he finds himself falling for Jenny. This reader was reminded of Jane Eyre as we came to know Jenny better. She was orphaned and had to work under harsh conditions but she is also a very strong woman who doesn’t buckle under. Jenny also has powers that she keeps hidden. Merrick and Jenny is a lovely couple. It is not surprising they are attracted to each other. There is a nice chemistry between them and they really pop off the pages.
TEMPTATION OF THE WARRIOR is the sequel to Ms. Maguire’s earlier book, A Warrior’s Taking. This is not just a historical romance. The author does a great job of weaving the paranormal aspects into the romance. The story moves at a fast pace as there is a lot going on and readers will be engrossed by the storylines.
