Morgan MacKenzie has penned a wonderfully exciting and romantic book.  It has it all:  action, romance, and true love!   A must read for any romance reader.  I look forward to the next novel titled THE BORDER REIVER'S DAUGHTER.  Morgan MacKenzie has a devoted reader if this next novel is as entertaining a read as THE FLOWER OF YARROW.
