Book Review By Melissa Cookson
Taming the Scotsman by Kinley MacGregor

Nora (Eleanor Alexander), an extremely talkative Scottish lady, doesn't want to marry the man her father picked out for her. Nora goes to the brooding and surly Ewan MacAllister to ask him to take her to her aunt in England - who she claims is Eleanor of Aquitaine. Ewan doesn't want anything to do with Nora.

Her situation reminds him too much of the one the one that ended in his brother's suicide, and, because his brother killed himself over a woman they both loved, Ewan still feels guilt over his death. Eventually, though, Ewan is persuaded to accompany Nora on an adventure that leads to a growing love between the two of them. They find themselves having to deal with Ewan's feelings of guilt, vengeance from clan members who feel Ewan wronged them, and the attempts of Nora's fiance to find her.
