The Pride of Lions by Marsha Canham
4.0
This was a throwback from high school. I don't remember if I actually read this book back then, or I picked up book 2 (this series follows the same couple in the first 2 books, and the third book follows a different couple) without reading this one first? But, yeah, I was familiar with this series/author and had always remembered this series from back then, when I first started reading romance novels.
But, I really enjoyed it even though it took me almost a week to finish it. It was first published in 1988 though repubbed in 1997 and I think they edited it some then, but it does read like a historical romance from 1990s. They did recently release an audiobook edition so I picked it up. It revolves around the Scots rebellion and set just before the Battle of Culloden. Many of the secondary characters were based on actual historical figures, and the hero, Alex Cameron, was based on an actual person but the author completely dramatized his life. Really enjoyed it--very immersive in terms of historical facts. The romance was hate to love, which is always a fave of mine. Picking up book 2 very soon.
