"Tantalizing...Ms. Baker kept me intrigued and enthralled...a thought-provoking novel not to be missed." -Rendezvous The last of the Murrays... Christina Murray is elated to inherit her family's ancestral home in Scotland. But upon her arrival she is confronted by her breathtakingly handsome new neighbor, Ian Douglas...and an ancient family curse that comes with the castle. A violent legacy of passion... Seduced by Ian's easy Scottish charm by day, Christina dreams at night of three raven-haired beauties, ancestors who fell victim to the curse one generation after another: Katrine, the fiery Jacobite supporter who lost her heart to an Englishman; Jeanne, an accused witch; and Mairi, who shared a forbidden passion with the King of England. Now it's Christina's turn to lie in that cursed bed... and loving Ian might just cost her life. What Readers Say: "One of the most fascinating books I've ever read...Kept me up until 3 am " "I'm delighted with Ms. Baker's style. It isn't often you find an author so adept at storytelling who also has a unique and beautiful command of the English language."
This is a great book if you're into Scottish history and/or time travel. The only drawbacks to me were I wish the story line had been extended at certain places (e.g. when one of the "historical" characters switched places with the "current time" character) and the only other thing that bothered me was that I thought the main character was a little "wimpy" (I mean, she's 40ish - not a teenager!)But, having said that, I did really enjoy the book and would read this author's other works.
Definitely a 10

LEGACY is one of the most fascinating books I've ever read. The heroine is drawn deeper and deeper into the past as she tries to solve a mystery and save her own life. I couldn't stop reading
