Lady Johanna was just a teenager when she became a widow and she finally decided that she would not marry again in life. The first marriage brought nothing except grief for her so she thought that marrying a second time was not a good idea at all. She wasn’t able to keep her promise to herself for a long time because King John demanded that she should remarry the man of his choice.
It was not an acceptable thing for Johanna and when her brother asked her to marry the Scottish warrior Gabriel she took it as a better proposal. Gabriel was a true warrior and was the kind who could impress any woman. Initially, Johanna was not impressed by her husband but after a short while, she felt that she was finally falling for the man who was not only handsome rather he was a man of grace.
Julie Garwood paints the love of Gabriel for his wife at the same time in the story thus everyone expects that they are going to have a happy married life afterward but that is not the case. Rosalyn Landor’s voice tells everyone about the upcoming war which is enforced on the highland by the king.
The couple has to fight against the royal army if it wants to live in peace. The Lion’s Lady was about such a kind strong woman and Ransom shares the developing love. The current novel can be considered as an amalgam after all but it is dished up with great scenes of love and war. The end decides between love and war, which thing will eventually survive.
