- Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2019This was a connection of Gwen and Jacob the Laird as she carried out her mission to Malcolm Donald and his manipulation of her. We glimpsed her mention briefly in both Deception and Redemption. The relationship between Gwen and Jacob made for an exciting story

- Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2019Looked to be a good story but stopped after setting up the conflict. Can't find the actual story.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2024A quick story. I enjoyed Gwen and Caeleb. He wanted to marry Gwen, but her secrets kept her from agreeing. Her situation put her in the middle of her love and her sister. Caeleb knew in his heart that she was not dishonest or a true traitor, but he did have his doubts. They made a wonderful couple and had a strong love. I would have loved a little more detail in the story.
I listened to this on Spotify, and George Ellington did a wonderful job of the narration. He was very good with the different voices and enhanced the story.
This is my unsolicited review.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2019I know cliche, but I loved the passion in this book. You can feel the passion the author poured out into these characters and this story. I really enjoyed this book.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2020This is intriguing and dramatic. Laird Caeleb has been trying to get Gwen to marry him for a long time, but she keeps refusing him. Gwen has been at the castle spying for Malcolm, but now he is finally ready to let her go free. Gwen planned to leave Caeleb, but ended up doing it sooner than she planned, because she was caught talking to Malcolm. Gwen is a very strong, conflicted and protective lady who just wants to do what she can to protect the people she loves. Caeleb is a caring, determined and naive man trying his best to be a laird when he never expected to be one.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2018* spoiler alert ** Quick reading tale of spying and love in the ancient Highlands of Scotland, off the Isle of Skye. Gwen wanting to protect her sister was a loving reason for her spying on Laird McLeod. But she falls in love with him, gives Malcolm false information and then runs away when caught. He sends his men to find her and when he does he questions the baby sister, releases the spy and asks her to marry him.
I wanted more conflict, more drama and suspense. But for starting the book while I was in the waiting room at the doctor's office, the brevity of this story allowed me to finish it and read half the next in the time it took my overscheduled practitioner to see me.
So if you want short historical romance this is your book. If you want something full of mystery, angst and suspense building nnnn grab something else and save this for that time you're waiting on somebody and want to read a quick story.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2018Sometimes, I have my doubts when reading such short stories. At least, I am more exigent and always comparing length against the overall story. I was very pleased to see that “Passion” is well balanced when it comes to this. We have action and characters that are well created.
The reader is pushed directly into the story, in the middle of a battle. We don’t need character descriptions, we feel the strength and the power they emanate. Laird Caeleb MacLeod is leading his men with strength and determination. His weakness? Probably his heart through his love for Gwendolyn. We have betrayal, we have doubts and a very strong woman who is a spy!
I won’t get into the plot very much, as you’ll have to discover it line by line. I am sorry that we did not get to see the conclusion to the war between the clans, but I think it is included in another book by Tarah Scott. For now, 4 stars for book 1 in this series.

A story of secrets, betrayal, love and many more.. Laird Caelab MacLeod wanted to know who had sent the note, warning them of an attack. Many men had been killed that day and he wanted them caught. To know what was going to happen meant they were privy to the enemy and thus could betray them.
Gwendolyn is the housekeeper for the Laird and hears many things. She has to or her sister will be killed..
Such a great short story that will pull you in quickly.. cannot wait to read the other two...
