"Breathtaking
and absorbing. The characters were magnificent
and well-drawn, the story pulled me in with the
first word and held me to the very last. Kathleen
Givens has written an adventure, a romance, a
historical of epic proportions."

A STARRED REVIEW FROM LIBRARY JOURNAL:
"With unparalleled skill and an exquisite
sense of time and place, Rita Award winner Givens
(The Destiny) spins a violent, realistic tale
of love, loyalty, and betrayal, breathing life
into characters both real and fictional and vividly
portraying the turbulence and intricate political
machinations of 13th-century Scotland."
"Powerful . . . full-bodied" SAYS FORUMS
AMERICA:
"The characters are well-placed within their
time, being neither out of synch with customs
nor caricatures of what modern conventional wisdom
would make of them. This is an author who knows
how to create sympathetic, believable and fascinating
characters who experience the perils and joys
of their era."

"Brilliantly written. A masterpiece! What
an outstanding story! ON A HIGHLAND SHORE is like
watching a grand movie epic unfold. You feel like
you're standing in the middle of each battlefield.
And woven into the tale, like a beautiful tartan
plaid, is a love story that takes your breath
away. I savored every word, wept for every loss
and cheered for honor hard won. ON A HIGHLAND
SHORE is a magnificent gift. You'll love claiming
this Scottish treasure for your own."

"9 OUT OF 10! Breathtaking view of medieval
Scotland! Kathleen Givens combines the perils
of this time period with timeless passion to create
a novel rich in adventure and love. A creative
blending of history and fiction allowed this tale
to hold an impressive sense of reality. Clashes
of swords and emotional embraces were equally
described with a vividness that trembled with
passion. Margaret's dilemma, as well as her desires,
will touch readers with simplicity and sincerity.
As the book closes with a hint of a sequel, there
is an enticing hope of once again visiting this
highland shore!"

"PASSION, MYSTERY AND HEARTACHE"
"Contains all the passion, mystery, and heartache
that have made Ms. Givens books so popular. This
book depicts with startling clarity the raw beauty
as well as brutality that existed throughout 13th
century Scotland. The characters are bold and
stand up for what they believe in - no matter
what it costs them. I'm very impressed with ON
A HIGHLAND SHORE. I'm thrilled that there will
be books to follow which will depict two of the
siblings and their adventures as they find their
way in life in a land full of turmoil.

"GRAND AND SWEEPING ADVENTURE"
Givens brings the rugged, beautiful historic
Highlands to life in a grand and sweeping adventure
romance that describes the Norse influence on
Scotland. Readers can look forward to more books
in her new series about the MacGannon clan.

"NOT TO BE MISSED!"
"ON A HIGHLAND SHORE transports readers to
a corner of Scotland caught
up in a turbulent storm of bloodshed and political
intrigues. With great
detail, the author brings to life the thirteenth
century . . . a success on many levels and a title
not to be missed."
