“good story set during medieval conflict between Scotland and England about tortured hero but his understandable emotional void went on a bit too long”

“Sin McAllister is a man haunted by his past. Bearing the stigma of his illegitimacy, his English mother couldn't stand the sight of him and sent him to his Scottish father the second she gave birth to him. He grew up being despised by his stepmother and treated with indifference by his own father. Years later, he would turn his back forever from Scotland when his father willingly handed him to the English and became one of their hostages. From then on, Sin would know and live only one kind of life: one of violence and solitude.

Now in his prime, Sin is one of the most feared and hated men in the English court. But with his freedom comes his duty to King Henry. Thus, when a group of Scottish rebels wreak havoc along the English border, Sin is ordered by the king to marry Lady Caledonia MacNeely and take her back home to Scotland where he must uncover the identity of the "Raider" and stop his rebellious acts.
By edict of the English king, Caledonia has no choice but to marry the mysterious English lord. Yet while others have warned her about the dangerous stranger, Caledonia cannot deny her attraction to him. And instead of fearing him, she finds herself drawn to and intrigued by him. With no choice but to marry him, she is determined to draw out the passionate man that she knows is hiding beneath the hardened warrior.
After meeting Sin in the previous MacAllister book, CLAIMING THE HIGHLANDER, I couldn't wait to see him meet the woman who will finally bring him peace and happiness. Sin is such an enigmatic character, portrayed as a man who has carefully shielded himself away from anyone, knowing that reopening his heart and soul to anyone, especially a beautiful woman like Caledonia, can destroy him. It was sad reading about how he has banished any delusion of comfort and solace long ago, after first becoming a political hostage, then finally rejected by his very own parents. The author has done well in her portrayal of Caledonia; she's the perfect heroine for a lost soul like Sin. I liked how she embraced life and proved loyal to those she loved; her attempts to escape in the beginning show her strength and will, while her determination to make things right for Sin proves how much a worthy partner she is for him.
BORN IN SIN is a poignant and sometimes funny story, featuring well-drawn characters that will endear them to you. This is a novel that shows everyone that lost men can be found and brought home.
Next in the series is TAMING THE SCOTSMAN, featuring Ewan MacAllister. ”
“Sin and Callie are great together.”
