Josselin Ancrum grew up learning all manners of combat from her adopted fathers, intent on avenging her mother's death at the hands of English soldiers. She becomes one of Mary's, Queen of Scotland, operatives, glad to have a chance to fight against the English. But Josselin feels an attraction for a golfer, Drew MacAdam, that threatens to distract her from her work. Drew may seem to be nothing more than a golfer, intent only on filling his pockets with winnings, but he is actually English, trained by his uncles to fight the dreaded Scottish. His attraction to Josselin quickly grows into something deeper. These two lovers quickly find their future together threatened not only by their different nationalities and loyalties, but also by family secrets. Can an English golfer and a Scottish barmaid ever have a chance for life long love, or will it all come tumbling down around them?
"Seduced by Destiny" by Kira Morgan was one of the first historical romances I read that featured golf's Scottish beginnings, but still was interesting and romantic. While the book was too short on developing these characters into deeper, more belivable personalities, it contained a lot of humor and fun seduction. This is a great book for a fun, lighthearted read for anyone who enjoys historical romances and doesn't have a lot of time.
The above paragraphs were part of my official review for NightOwl Reviews where I try to say how the book was while being nice. Luckily here I can be a little less tactful (which I do best.) This book would have been good when I was 15 but now I don't expect people to instantly fall into bed, have huge differences that threaten their very lives, and throw everything aside to live "happily ever after." I want a little character development with believable romance. If you want nothing more than total mind fluff, you will love this book.
