I love that I have found this author. I am working my way through her drakon series, but bought this one because it is about Scotland. I had to finish another book before I really got into this one, but once I got into it, I just tore through it. It is the story of an English Earl, Arion du Morgan and Lauren MacRae, who is daughter of the Laird who holds the land on half of the island of Shot. The other half of the island belongs to the English, and the two are bitter enemies. Lauren suddenly and unexpectedly finds herself having to take control of her clan when her father is killed and her cousin, his heir is seriously wounded. Lauren is a skilled warrior, but the attacks from the Vikings on the island lead her to propose a truce between the ancient enemies who live on and love the island. This very uneasy truce is to be temporary and a story with many twists and turns ensues. It is a love story and for much of the book it appears that it will be a doomed one. Is Arion even going to live or will he die and the story go in another direction? This author really brings her hero and heroine to life, and so far in her books that I have read, they are strong people with serious commitments to those they care for. In this book, Lauren is very torn between loyalty to clan and to what she desires for herself. It almost hurts to read her thoughts and choices. It is interesting to see how individuals within her clan react to her, a woman, taking charge, and then to the events that develop including the arrival of Payton Murdoch, the man she has never met who her father had promised her to. Her marriage to him will strengthen their hold on the island and was planned years ago to keep them safe for many generations. I really can't go into too much on the story without giving things away and the fun of this read is eagerly reading to find out what will happen.

This book is not YA as there are some sex scenes, but they are not trashy or overly graphic. The whole relationship between Ari and Lauren is hot. This author creates a man you can love and a woman you can admire - or vice versa if you are a guy! Then she sets them on fire but in a beautiful way.

Intimate Enemies A Novel Shana Abé 9780553581997 Books Reviews

If you love romance novels, please read Shana Abe's books. They are wonderful! She combines great settings with magical characters.
I did not want to put it down! Make sure you read this one...you won't be disappointed.
I give the book 3 stars because the writing is good, the two main characters are interesting, even the villains are okay, but I was terribly bored. I realize Historical Romances are pretty standard by nature, but some hold my interest more than others. While well-written, Intimate Enemies did not hold my interest past the first couple of chapters. Sorry.
The used book arrived when promised and was in excellent condition. It was a great value for the money! I plan to purchase more used Shana Abe books through , as offers great value and great service!
Sometimes when I read these stories, they are so predictable, I know every twist and turn before I finish the second chapter. Thankfully I can tell you that is not the case with this story. Obviously the hero and the heroine end up together because it wouldn't do to have them separated. Despite that, there was always a question asking "how could they possibly overcome their divisions? Are they really going to end up together?" There were constant twists of unexpected changes. It was a little bit of a slow start but all of the questions were answered in the end and the path was beautiful.
It was really difficult for me to get through this book. I can't relate to Lauren in any way. She was rude to Arion through most of the book though he was obviously kind to her. Lauren was headstrong to her detriment until it finally paid off near the end of the story, but each time she had to be saved from her consequence then acted childish and ungrateful. I really can't understand why so many writers want to write about fearless, headstrong heroines that undermine the men that care for them when it takes more character and maturity to admit your mistakes and change. Although Lauren began to have feelings toward Air, she never voiced them.
