Chronicle In Favor Of Books Intimate Enemies

From Shana Abé comes this exquisitely emotional, beautifully written novel about two warring clans on a Scottish isle united by a fragile pact...and the hearts of two unforgettable lovers.

Lauren MacRae is only a woman. But her father's death has left her the leader of the Clan MacRae. Now it is up to her to defend her beloved Isle of Shot from the invading Northmen, even if it means going to her clan's sworn enemy, the powerful English overlord, Arion du Morgan, for help. But Arion's raven hair, green eyes, and smoldering sensuality soon make Lauren forget just why she turned to him—as he awakens within her a wayward desire.

Like Lauren, Arion risks the mutiny of his soldiers by forming this risky alliance. But he was brought up to believe that the Isle of Shot belongs not to the Clan MacRae, but to England—and he will defend it to his dying breath. Once, when they were children, Arion saved Lauren from a tortuous fate. Now, the copper-haired beauty has somehow found a way to banish the emptiness in his soul. And as they join forces to fight for the land they both love, he will risk everything—even his very life—to claim what is his.

I love that I have found this author. I am working my way through her drakon series, but bought this one because it is about Scotland. I had to finish another book before I really got into this one, but once I got into it, I just tore through it. It is the story of an English Earl, Arion du Morgan and Lauren MacRae, who is daughter of the Laird who holds the land on half of the island of Shot. The other half of the island belongs to the English, and the two are bitter enemies. Lauren suddenly

This seems to be a decent read, but I got bored at 30% in and decided not to finish.

Rrad this a long long time ago-my first SHana Abe book, and if I remember correctly, I liked it a lot!

Wow! I am a seasoned historical romance reader and I have a hard time finding stories that I really enjoy and can't wait to finish! Intimate Enemies was great! I rarely give 5 stars, but there wasn't much I didn't like! If you like action and adventure and hero/heroine conflict with added forbidden sexual attraction, with added Viking and war battles, you'll like this! Abe writes with the emotions and feelings of the characters. There were a few swoon worthy passages of forbidden love and

In many ways, INTIMATE STRANGERS is much like an adult fairy tale. Two well-meaning young people were thrown together because of family and circumstances. One person saves the other. Years pass and they meet again; this time, the second person saves the first. They are adults now and there is clearly some form of attraction: call it chemistry-in-the-making. Lauren MacRae was a devoted daughter when her father was killed by a group of Northmen. Strong and sensible, she felt a huge responsibility
