“She shall never marry my brother, I’ll make sure of it.”
Isobel Steward has committed the biggest sin of them she has fallen in love with Keegan MacLean. Her best friend, her brother’s closest man and the most secretive brute she knows. And, as if that situation is not torture enough, Isobel has been promised to another man.
A laird who turns out to be none other than Keegan’s older brother that no one has ever heard of…
Keegan has made two vows in his life.

Phenomenal!
I loved this book! The tale of Isobel and Keegan is filled with love, loss, danger and even long lost brothers and is an absolute pleasure to read. Keegan escaped his clan after the death of his father and has grown up in the Stewart Clan with Teigue and Isobel. He would do anything Teigue asks of him and it will be a hardship for him when the ask is to escort Isobel to Clan MacLean with the goal of a possible marriage between Isobel and Darren MacLean - Keegan’s eldest brother. He will go with anger in his heart and the determination to keep Isobel away from Darren. But everything changes when he learns the truth about his father’s death. Realizing his brother isn’t the man he thought he was, Keegan will then decide it’s best if Isobel is wed to Darren as what Keegan learns about himself will lead him to believe he doesn’t deserve her. I love how the brothers, Darren, Marcus and Keegan, are able to rebuild their relationship and I love the lengths Darren will go to in order to get Keegan to admit his true feelings for Isobel. There will be a little bit of a bumpy road on the way to their happily ever after when a rival clan threatens not only the MacLean clan but Darren himself. Keegan joins in to help save kin and clan and will get one more surprise about Isobel before all is done. But in the end, the threat to Clan MacLean will be eliminated and with not only Darren’s blessing, but Teigue’s as well, Keegan and Isobel can finally move on to the rest of their lives together.

Over the years her feeling for Keegan had grown but she had never declared her love to him.

Meant to be.
I loved the relationship between Keegan and Isobel in previous books and I’m glad to finally see their story. Isobel’s brother Teigue finds an old marriage contract his father had agreed to which states a Stewart dependent will marry one from MacLaen. Isobel is the only option but none of them are happy about it. Keegan is asked to escort her and see if they can find a way to break the betrothal. But Keegan has a secret that will unfold and set in motion a series of events that make this an interesting story worth reading. My only complaint is that Isobel makes some unwise decisions towards the end.

A great story, but frustrating in that Keegan is so set in the past he cannot see any future. The solution was obvious from the beginning, but I understand it was kept until almost the end, to make a point about redemption, forgiveness and belonging.
Honesty between this couple would have solved a lot of problems but then, we wouldn't have the story, or at least not all of it.
There was not an obvious connection to the rest of the Cadney alliance, except for Isobel's half-sister, and this is tentative as her husband is not a Laird. Perhaps this could have been strengthened in some way. Nevertheless, the story is as good as the rest of the series.
