Product Description:
A new land, a new time . . .
To protect his people from a great evil, Merrick Mac Lochlainn, newly crowned high chieftain of his clan, must travel forward in time nearly 1,000 years. But when he awakens in nineteenth-century England, he has no memory of his mission to save his race, nor can he recognize Jenny Keating, the spirited young beauty who calls herself his wife.
A new love . . .
Orphaned and on the run from a cruel headmaster, vulnerable and alone, Jenny never dreamed of being rescued by any man, much less a chivalrous and handsome warrior like Merrick. Drawn to his powerful physique and mysterious ways, she begins a dangerous deception and poses as his beloved. But her feelings of desire are all too real. Together they will battle a dark threat that jeopardizes their very lives, all the while tempting each other with a passion too powerful to resist.

As head of his clan, Merrick MacLochlainn feels the tremendous burden of protecting his people from the evil sorceress Elianor. To prevent her from taking over their clan, he and his brother must travel forward some 1000 years into time to the 1820's and collect sacred stones. Merrick finds himself in North England and when he spies a young woman being viscously, attacked he comes to her aid.
Jenny Keating has finally secured a position as a governess and is more than ready to escape the horrible conditions of her employment. She is teaching at a boarding school with a cruel headmaster. When she takes her leave she discovers that her roommate has stolen her locket, the only memento she has from her deceased parents. She is on a quest to retrieve the locket from the runaway girl. Unfortunately, she is waylaid by ruffians.
When Merrick comes to Jenny's aid he is shot and suffers amnesia. Jenny realizes that their situation is dire and when a traveling band of gypsies rescue them she claims he is her husband.
Merrick is attracted to Jenny and fully believes her story. Jenny is confused about her feelings for Merrick. She worries he may have a family back in Scotland. They have a passionate romance but Jenny is in a constant worry over Merrick's past.
Jenny wants to be with him but also frets about her own strange mystical powers. She has never shared them with anyone. Merrick is running out time and when he begins to learn about his past, he realizes that his clan desperately needs him but so does Jenny.
Merrick is a wonderful hero, kind of alpha male but never obnoxiously macho. His love for Jenny is powerful but it pulls against his duty to his clan. The ending was a bit rushed for me and there were a lot of characters to remember, good and bad especially in the last chapters. All in all, however, this is an enjoyable read.

As his clan's newly crowned chieftain, Merrick MacLochlainn must travel 1000 years into the future to protect his clan from evil. A less that pleasant arrival to the future combined with a blow to the head, leaves Merrick with no recollection of his quest to find a sacred stone that will save his clan. Nor can Merrick remember Jenny Keating, the woman who claims to be his wife.
Jenny Keating's life has been grim and brutal until the day she is saved by a heroic stranger. Posing as his wife to protect herself, Jenny finds herself falling for her handsome savior. With trouble not far behind, the pair must work together to save one another and realize their fate.
Merrick MacLochlainn is as yummy as his brother, Brogan (A Warrior's Taking). Men with a brogue make my knees quiver. Heroes with a brogue, magical talents AND muscles to die for, bring me to my knees. Merrick left me on the floor begging for more.
Don't miss Margo Maguire's Temptation of the Warrior! A time traveling romance with a battle against mortal evil and paranormal evil as well, Temptation of the Warrior is a must read!

In 981 on the Isle of Coruain, High Chieftain Merrick MacLochlainn knows he has no choice but to do the mission in order to keep the Druzai safe from the malevolence of their long time enemy the witch Eilinora, who escaped incarceration, killed Merrick's father, and stole the scepter of power. The very first leg of his quest is to retrieve sacred stones that will bring back powers to the Druzai. However to obtain the stones means he must travel forward in time to 1826.
Merrick goes forward over eight centuries, but upon finding himself in Regency Northumbria; he is mentally confused and cannot recall his past let alone his mission. He also has problems with just who is Jenny Keating, whom he rescued from some attackers. They travel together until the reach a Gypsy camp where she claims she is his wife. Merrick knows that is untrue but does not expose her as he wants her safe while his mind heals. As he recovers and falls in love, Merrick believes Jenny is the source for his obtaining the stones. However, both know he must go back in time, but can she accompany her beloved if they retrieve the stones while his known foe and other death sorcerers cause mayhem.
TEMPTATION OF THE WARRIOR is a fascinating romantic fantasy that employs time travel to bring together a Dark Ages Scottish warrior and a Victorian woman. The time travel is especially handled really well as he struggles with effect of the trip. The story line is fast-paced from the opening segue when Merrick tells his courageous female cousin Ana no that he not she will journey and never slows down until the confrontation. Fans will appreciate Margo Maguire's magnificent good vs. evil thriller and want to read Merrick's brother Brogan's tale (see A WARRIOR'S TAKING).
