I love Michelle Paige Holmes' books and was so excited when I heard that she was coming out with another book, Yesterday's Promise, this being the first story in the Hearthfire Scottish Romance series.
She soon discovers that her father, before his passing, has promised her to a Scottish lord that she has never met. Before the poor girl can wrap her head around the idea of marrying a stranger, she is a wife to a man who seems to be indifferent to her and being taken to Scotland, an unknown land, or so she thinks.
During the journey to Scotland Katherine soon realizes is that her life and family are not what she thought. She is connected to Scotland and her new husband, Collin, in ways that were unimaginable only days before and a whole new world is open to her.
Each chapter starts out with events that have happened in the past to both Katherine and Collin that you find as you read the chapter, parallel their current situations. At first this was a little confusing to me but as the story went along I found it really beautiful how the author intertwined the past with the present.
This being the first book in the series the end does leave quite a bit open, but that's to be expected when you're reading a book from a series. There are not so many questions that you couldn't read this as a stand-alone book. For me personally, I cannot wait for the next book in the series to come out just so I can see what happens next. Great story with wonderful characters. Highly recommend!
