| Scottish romances are generally set in earlier centuries, when Scotland was a place for tall rugged and proud manor owners, who were also head of their respective clans. Clan war for supremacy is the backdrop of many novels and often the daughter of one warring faction falls in love with the son of the other faction and vice versa.
How they find a way to unite forms the story, with several subplots thrown in. The principal characters and supporting characters often take drastic steps to end the conflict for love to come out victorious.
In this context some idea about a beautiful Scottish romance novel can be given. The mightiest lord of the dominant Scottish clan was asked to take an English wife, by his King. In those days, the King being the representative of God, no loyal subject ever thought twice to obey the orders or wishes of the King. So this protagonist arrives on the English shore to marry a virginal daughter of a Baron. He falls in love with her, but his young bride has her heart cocooned against him. This marriage was forced and she was hardly willing as the Scottish lord, it was rumored, had killed his first wife. It was a trying time for both of them but ultimately love wins. The plot is fast paced with Scottish dialects thrown in between for authenticity and the description of the people and the characters make the whole set up very real. The characters evolve gradually and they are so real that readers will feel that they know them (the protagonist and his wife). More on such delightful novels from Mydearvalentine.
