Enjoyable Sequel February 29, 2008

It can be difficult to transition a character from a villain in one book to a hero in another. But Kathleen Morgan does this so very brilliantly with Adam Campbell in "Consuming Fire." Adam finds forgiveness and a deep relationship with the Lord in this sequel to "Embrace the Dawn." Altough this book can be read without reading its predecessor, it is more enjoyable if you read them in order as you will be more invested in supporting characters.
Adam Campbell goes to the convent to collect Maggie Robertson and bring her home to her dying father. Maggie is unaware that there is a political motivation for this act, but knows her family well enough to realize that all is not what it seems. But Adam cannot help his growing feelings for Maggie or his desire to protect her. Will he trade Maggie for his imprisoned cousin when they arrive in Scotland? Or will his desire to keep Maggie for himself override? And will the strong Scottish lass make it difficult or easy for this man she is growing to care for?
Suspense and intrigue abound in this well-penned novel.

Good book, started a bit slow for me but once i read more i really got into it. It's a little hard trying to understand some of the Scottish words and stuff but it you get used to it.The story is about Maggie, a young woman who runs to a nunnery to get away from the evil men in her life. After Adam a man who has been sent by Maggie's father to bring her back arrives, Maggie's life will never be the same.
Adam knows it's not right, but what else can he do? January 2, 2005

Adam Campbell is sent to retrieve Maggie from her home at the monastery where she wishes to become a nun. He feels a sense of dread at taking this girl from her safe haven unto the mess of a family that she ran from. But his cousin's life is on the line and he has no choice.
As they travel back from the monastery Adam and Maggie become quite close. When they arrive at her home and he starts to leave her the trust and closeness is shattered as she believes he betrayed her. Before he leaves he tells her if she should ever have need, that she was to call on him and he would come and get her.
On the brink of starvation, her sister and maid strive to save her and send for Adam. When she and her maid are settled at his home, Adam comes to realize he is in love with Maggie, but Maggie is wary of trusting this man again and makes it clear she wishes to go back to the monastery.
With every step forward they make, he feels a sense of guilt over things done in the past that he has kept from her . . . but her trust is so fragile, it might drive her away for ever . . .
The second book in this series is even better then the first, I can't wait to read the next
