Product Description:
For ten lusty years, Robbie MacKenzie has savored the sensual pleasures that only a man with no wife can taste. To the lassies of Scotland , he is a living legend, the sole heir of the Black Stag clan, and a prize catch indeed. But Juliana Mackay has no such interest in the rogue or his powerful family. Her mission - to deliver an unpaid debt for her dying mother - is the only thing that could force her within reach of the wayward knight. That is, until an accidental blow to the head sends her reeling right into the brawny arms of Robbie MacKenzie himself.

Sir Robbie was very first introduced as a small child in Devil in a Kilt. In fact, his existence and Duncan Mackenzie's desire to prove that he was indeed his child is how he became wed to Linnet. Moving on...
No longer a small child, Robbie has been gone from home for 10 years now. He is expected to return to marry Euphemia Macleod whom he has been promised to since childhood. Though he does not know her, he has no desire to marry her. When he lays eyes on the beautiful lass about to drown, he knows then that it will be hard to honor his word... Though her gift has not been strong these past years, Linnet (who is miles away!) senses that this bonny fiery hair maid is to be Robbie's wife.
Juliane Mackay suddenly awakens in the arms of a charming stranger, none other than Sir Robbie MacKenzie. Something is wrong, why she can't even remember her own name! She does not know of her destination or the circumstances of how she came to meet this handsome stranger. Although she is unable to recall her past, she has a feeling that her journey was of great importance, but what could it be? Slowly she starts to piece her memory back together only to find that perhaps it would have been best to forget...
Lady Euphemia is fighting mad that Robbie has ruined her life. Plain in looks with no womanly curves her anger in increased by her soon to be husbands late arrival. Already she hates Eilean Creag castle, why she can barely breath with all of the smells swarming around the castle. Hence the reason she was put into Robbie's old chamber (from book 1 which we learn is tiny). She hates Robbie, but why? She has never met the poor man. She constantly complains and has more a wild side that I believe is best read by you :-)
Robbie has but to do one thing, find a reason not to marry Euphemia. He is willing to do what it takes. He has taken his concerns to his father who won't hear of it. Now, he must take matters into his own hands. There MUST be a way to convince her not to wed him. Little does he know, luck is on his side.
With love strong in the air there shouldn't be anything to keep them apart. Sigh, There is one other threat. Perhaps Juliana's journey held important information that could make or break her relationship with Robbie. Oh, only if she could remember!
This was a good story but not better than the prior novels. More romance than anything. There was not much danger. Not the type of danger/betrayal that are usually hr subplots. At first, the lack of action bothered me. Then I really started to adore Robbie and Juliana. I do wish that Robbie would have had more of a battle reputation. A nice read!

As I read throught the story I kept expecting something to happen. Well it didn't. It wasn't all that I expected it to be. Don't get me wrong, the story was very well written and the characters well liked but there wasn't that spark that draws you in. At least there wasn't for me. Others might find it more enjoyable.

Robbie MacKenzie is the only son and heir of Duncan MacKenzie, the Black Stag of Kintail. After a ten-year absence, he's on his way home to Eilean Crag Castle where he's expected to marry his betrothed, Euphemia MacLeod. His betrothal is not a love match. She's the daughter of the Laird of a neighboring clan. His marriage is meant to form an alliance so that the two clans can live in peace.
Juliana MacKay has made a deathbed promise to her mother. She is supposed to repay Duncan MacKenzie for all the support he's given her mother. While Juliana is not happy with this edict, she obeys her mother and leaves her side to deliver the funds and a missive to Duncan.
Robbie MacKenzie finds Juliana MacKay standing waist deep in a black-watered lochan from where she'd rescued a sheep. In the rescue, she received a blow to the head by the ewe's flailing hooves and was now in need of help herself. Robbie rescued her unconscious body from the water and in the process loses his heart to the flame-haired lass. He vows that he will have her for his very own. But there is still the matter of his betrothed. Will he be able to extricate himself from his father's promises? Juliana's suffering a memory loss due to the blow to her head, but she knows she's no light-skirt, that she was on a mission to repay somebody for her mother, and a name, Kenneth. She has no idea who she is, but she's not about to trust this knight with lust in his eyes. She's definitely not thrilled with him forcing her to accompany him on his journey to his home. She doesn't remember why she doesn't wish to visit Eilean Creag Castle or even why the MacKenzie name disturbs her, but Robbie isn't giving her much of a choice.
ONLY FOR A KNIGHT gives Sue-Ellen Welfonder's readers an opportunity to revisit well-loved characters from earlier books. Robbie is the hero's little boy from DEVIL IN A KILT. The various conflicts kept me glued to the pages through the entire book and then none of them turned out the way I would have expected. All of the characters are larger than life and just as wonderful to read about this time around, as they were in previous books. I was fascinated with Juliana's brother, Kenneth. He wasn't actually in the book until the end but he was talked about a lot. His story can be found in UNTIL THE KNIGHT COMES.

Toward the end two major dilemmas were resolved too quickly and easily. I felt the author was in a hurry to finish the book and didn't want to take the time to show interactions with others, twists and turns, etc . In one case a 3rd party comes up and asks for something which solves a problem. In another case, someone touches a jar and has a vision which solves a problem. Other than that, it was an ok book, some interesting ideas, but not great.

I have read all of her other books except Master of the Highlands and found this one to be my least favorite. There just wasn't ever a moment when the main characters weren't going to get together. Robbie's bride-to-be, the main problem just disappears! Her character did not seem like the type to just run off with her lover after ranting through out the rest of the book on how she is going to destroy Robbie. Love Welfonder's other books, this one just didn't live up to my expectations.
